If this guy wants to run for office, Beard PAC is there!

When it comes to facial hair, beards are back in a big way, but there’s one field where beards are not appreciated.  That field, ladies and gentlemen, is politics.  Political candidates with beards are simply a thing that doesn’t happen these days, which is unfortunate as one of America’s best presidents had a beard.  However, there’s a political action committee (PAC) looking to make some positive changes for the hirsute politician.  A new Super PAC has been set up to support candidates with beards.  The Super PAC is called BEARD, or Bearded Entrepreneurs for the Advancement of a Responsible Democracy.

“With the resurgence of beards in popular culture and among today’s younger generation, we believe the time is now to bring facial hair back into politics,” said BEARD Pac co-founder Jonathan Sessions, who started the PAC with Andy Shapero.  “We haven’t had a bearded major party candidate run for President since Charles Evans Hughes ran and lost in 1916, and there has been a recent wave of retirements amongst bearded Congressmen, including David Obey and Steve LaTourette.  Our hope is that we can start to reverse this disturbing trend.”

BEARD PAC hopes to raise unlimited funds to support political candidates, based on their length of beard, quality of beard, and longevity.    While the PAC will not support mustaches, they may consider supporting a candidate with only a goatee, depending on the candidate.  While the PAC is leaning towards male candidates, they will support a female candidate with a beard.  Hopefully this won’t lead to a wave of political beard-shearing incidents.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
