Okay... so I was thinking maybe I should get out of this whole "my pet just died" funk, so I got wasted and searched the net for a Quote Of The Day.
I found this:
Now, when you have one or two examples of something, it can be called a coincidence. Three or four examples, and you have a topic for a master's thesis. When you have a century's worth of evidence, you have a paradigm, an Iron Law, something that would earn a thumbs-up from Oswald Spengler.
So let's not be afraid to admit the obvious: Over these last 10 decades, when we believed we've been fighting militarism, despotism, fascism, communism and militant Islamism, what we've really been fighting is whiskerism.
"Fu Manchu, Ming the Merciless, Snidely Whiplash, the Iron Sheik all the bad guys have facial hair," Mr. Greenfield said.
Pancho Villa. A guy with a mustache.
Kaiser Wilhelm II. A guy with pointy mustache.
Hitler. Stupid little mustache.
Emperor Hirohito. Mustache.
Hideki Tojo. Mustache.
Stalin. Big mustache.
Fidel Castro. Big bushy beard.
Che Guevara. Beard.
Ho Chi Minh. Wispy Fu Manchu.
Yasir Arafat. Scraggly beard.
Ayatollah Khomeini. Big long beard.
Osama bin Laden. Long beard.
Saddam Hussein. Bushy mustache.
Yes, nearly everyone we have gone to war with has had facial hair.
Finally, consider how boldly President Bush acted when he thought weapons of mass destruction were held by Saddam Hussein and his thick, black mustache, and how much more patiently he has treated the weapons of mass destruction being held by Kim Jong Il, who has no facial hair at all, just a funny Eraserhead haircut.
