AMI Administration

Our bare lipped friends

Do you remember the scene in the film version of Spike Lee's "Malcolm X" where Mr. X is walking into a college building and a white girl asks him a question? The young female collegian asks Denzel Washington, playing General X, if she could help his movement. He solemnly looked at her and said, "No." And kept walking.

Well, we at AMI feel a bit differently.

Despite being put down and oppressed by bare-lipped weaklings for nearly half century, we accept the support and love of those without mustaches. And one of our favorites - a supporter from the very beginning - has been the Washington Post's Dan Steinberg, who writes the always entertaining "D.C. Sports Bog."

Dan is currently covering the Olympic Games in Beijing, and when he returns, we'll be continuing our fine tradition of outstanding Monthly Interviews with Dan. But until then, we'll just have to bask in his greatness as he reports about the stories that matter......like this one he sent us today that he said was inspired by AMI.

We hope you enjoy it as we did, and be sure to support Dan and continue to read the Sports Bog.

Carry on.

About afroman

The name “Abe Froman” is most commonly recognized as the ubiquitous and unseen character who’s identity is briefly assumed by actor Matthew Broderick in the film “Ferris Beuller’s Day Off.” However, Abraham Froman is much more. Dr. Froman, a Capricorn, began his career with AMI as an intern, and after receiving his certification in nuclear mustacheology in 2006, transitioned his role into the organization’s Director of Logistical Intelligence, focusing on research, government relations, intelligence gathering, grass roots advocacy, and song writing. On October 25, 2008, he will ascend to the role of Chief Executive Officer. “I am honored to assume the chair held by Drs. Snor and Perlut previously,” Froman said. “The Mustached American people need leadership, and I pledge that AMI, under my stewardship, will continue to provide it at a time when it is so desperately needed.” Dr. Froman has said that his future goals for AMI are to create satellite campus’s overseas and to develop an annual event, to be known as "The Million Mustache March," each year in St. Louis, concluding under the world’s largest mustache – St. Louis’ Gateway Arch. Froman formerly lived in the Chicago area where he ran a museum dedicated to the "Karate Kid" series of films starring the indefatigable Pat Morita. As Abe likes to say, "One can never tire of Pat Morita." Dr. Froman is also a periodic contributor to joesportsfan.com.
