Earlier this week, US News and World Report conducted a poll on its Web site to see which politically active celebrity should run for office. Boring, EXCEPT, the winner of this scientifically dubious and altogether frivolous poll was Tom Selleck, the mustachioed, hairy-chested man whom your mom wishes she could have married instead of that lumpy schlub you call dad. (Sorry, Dad.)

This is a choice we can get behind, and not because Selleck is a pro-gun conservative who supported John McCain in 2008. But rather because Selleck has one of the thickest, most celebrated lip-brows in the history of history.

Politics have long lacked a great mustache wearer, the kind of man women want and men want to rip the mustache off of and glue to their own face. When mustaches have ventured into the political arena they have met with near-universal success. (See Teddy Roosevelt and Henry Waxman.)

So while actively ignoring Saddam Hussien, Joseph Stalin and Hitler, we endorse Tom Selleck and hope he brings manliness and crumbs back into the political arena.
