Mustache Bill?

So, I'm sitting here browsing the local news and this is what I find:

BALTIMORE -- An interesting -- and hairy -- plan for a tax break for some Americans is causing some controversy in the U.S. Congress.

Baltimore fell in love with the mustache this winter when Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco began sporting a Fu Manchu, spawning "Fanstashe Fever" across Ravens nation.

Now, the American Mustache Institute wants Congress to approve The Stache Act, a $250 tax deduction for men who keep their facial hair in shape. The act has been forwarded to the House Ways and Means Committee.

"I'm totally for this. I could use that," one Marylander told 11 News reporter Kate Amara.

The AMI initially claimed mustache-clad Maryland Republican Rep. Roscoe Bartlett, who is in a tough re-election fight, was a supporter.

But the AMI and the Associated Press then said Bartlett's office back-tracked, saying, "For the record, Roscoe is pro-stache, but he does not believe Americans should pay for people's personal grooming decisions."

11 News has not heard directly from Bartlett for comment.

The AMI said its fight to defend mustache maintenance will continue.

What do you think? I think this bill is absolutely absurd! Who would even think to have a mustache bill... or that there's such thing as the American Mustache Institute??
