  David's response:  Well, that is the most bizarre poll I have seen in a while!

Why only a dozen mainly jejeune contenders?  Why Bono but not 
Geldof?  Why Mother Nature at all, but then why not Lord Voldemort 
or the Flying Spaghetti Monster?  Who is Rick Warren?  Where are the 
*interesting* people like Hugo Chavez and Pat Robertson?  Or my 
personal favourite comedian, Silvio Berlusconi?


  Kemper now:
  Jejune? Really?  Who's Geldof? I can agree with Hugo Chavez, but Pat Roberson or Silvio Berlusconi?  Time is an American magazine, so Americans, though seemingly world ignorant, wouldn't care about Silvio because they won't, and I don't, see how his politics greatly affects theirs.  However, it is easy to see where Hugo has touched politcos for the US's southern hemisphere relations.  As far as Pat is concerned... his time has come and gone.
