Hello, all! I would like to seek out your input on an issue that has sparked a great deal of internal debate in the CD Luebke mind. You see, for the past month or so, I've been growing a winter beard. I'm starting to consider taking it in a different direction, however, and would like a bit of input on which direction I should take it in. So, I'm posting a few photos of historical and fictional figures who have facial hair that I admire (even if I don't admire all of their actions, which I do not for all of them except for Wolverine and Van Buren,) and I invite you all to make a case for the facial hair you believe I should wear. Thank you!

Martin Van Buren, 8th President of the United States

Leopold II, King of Belgium (1865-1909), and asshole supremo

Maximilian I, French-installed Emperor of Mexico, 1864-1867

Wolverine of the X-men

Grigori Rasputin, Russian Royal Adviser and holy man

Joseph Stalin, dictator of the Soviet Union, 1922-1953

Ambrose Burnside, Supreme Commander of the Army of the Potomac in the US Civil War
Let me know what you think - I value all input! Thanks!
