Thank you very much for the kind words. THe book should be done sometime by the middle of next month. I’m at 275 pages now and have about 20 left and then I’ll probably try to cut another 20. I imagine it’ll be ready to show people by Labor Day. Let’s hope. Sorry to hear about your book. How incredibly frustrating.

No no no. My brother is left-handed, and he’s as nuts as — well, as you are. If you were wholly sane, you wouldn’t write about the Mideast Mustache Mess, would you? And we wouldn’t bother reading your blog. Which reminds me, when will your book be done? Don’t expend the entirety of your creative energies on your blog and your work. (And since you ask, mine experienced a freak accident at the printer’s, and has to be re-set.)

It’s true Amphimacer, Cronkite is a good man with a mustache as is Tom Freidman, one of my all-time heroes. There are always exceptions to the rule. It’s like left-handed people. I’m left-handed and I’m relatively sane, but there are a whole lot of lefties out there that I’m wary of because I know their left-handed weirdness oh too well.

You and my mom are right…growing a ‘stache isn’t a good idea.

As a moustachioed man myself, I must object to your characterization of me as a girlfriend-stealing madman. As Boris Karloff may have said, “Mad? I’ll show them who’s mad!” Then again, he may not have said it. Anyway, Walter Cronkite has a mustache, and he never stole your girlfriend, did he?

In your comments about how Mid-east mustaches have caused so much ruckus, you forget to mention the Arab world’s most notorious ‘stache: Saddam’s. That thing was a monster.
