So unless you've been hiding under a rock, and roughly 1/8 of the AMI's members actually do, in fact, live with trolls under bridges, you've seen the push by AMI and the New York Yankees to get the heavily and wonderfully mustached Jason Giambi into the 2008 All-Star game. How can you argue that his powerful, performance-enhancing mustache has not given him the needed edge to make the squad? Heck, ESPN's Sports Center quoted AMI executive director last night and anchor Scott Van Pelt referred to him as a "swinger," and that alone should be reason enough to vote for Giambi (that makes no sense whatsoever). And a few blogs like our good friends at Deadspin and the NY Times have followed it.

Today at the Yankees 1pm EST game, they will give out 20,000 free mustaches in support of G-Stache, and we have sent them this video to run on the jumbo-tron during the game. Let's hope they are wise enough to run it as it will certainly put Jason's candidacy over the top.

And already, rip-off mustache efforts are ensuing, like this one from New York's 1050 AM radio. But you know what? We love it. Any effort to propagate lip fur is a good effort.

Vote Giambi and, as always, carry on.
