BY THE HAIRS OF HIS CHINNY CHIN CHIN

Read all about it! Gov. Richardson to shave his beard!

He told me it's mainly because the First Lady doesn't like his facial hair. But maybe it's also that he's getting tired of national pundits comparing him with Wolfman Jack, Klingons and Bond villains. (The New Mexican site has a poll to see who you think the beard makes Richardson resemble.)

As a Bearded American myself, I say hang tough, gov!
