And according to this list, they're both second, third or fourth banana to that vaguely lumpy-looking kid who played the vampire in "Twilight." Way to go. Also, what's this about "spawning" the TPers? They're supposed to be a grassroots movement.Originally posted by HalfLotus View PostObama hasn't done anything other than maintain the status quo.
Oh, he was handed a Nobel Prize on a silver platter. 
OTOH, Paul spawned the Tea Party movement which may be the most significant political movement in the US since civil rights.

I like Ron Paul.Originally posted by HalfLotus View PostThere are short bios for each person, in case anyone wants to correct their ignorance instead of taking the, "I don't care about people not in my tiny partisan political bubble." stance.

The world doesn't revolve entirely around U.S. national politics. God forbid some entertainers be on the list. Where's your boy? He on the list? Newp.
Grassroots movements form around ideas. In this case it was largely Ron Paul's ideas.

3 out of 4 Acting Oscar winners (no Christopher Waltz?!)

Jenny ****ing McCarthy?! She's still relevent?
Bristol Palin, who had stupid sex.

In what deranged sense is it something to be proud of that Mr. Paul is not quite as "influential" as Conan O'Brien, whose influence was just enough to make people protest when the network butt-raped his career into oblivion? "Ooh, look, a bunch of random imbeciles mentioned various people they liked, and Ron Paul came up pretty often!"

Elok, I'm sorry, but Conan O'Brien has a massive career. He's about to embark on a 30-city stage tour because he isn't contractually allowed on TV. In fact, its called "The Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour", which is the clause. When he can be on TV again in September, his ratings are going to blow Leno and Letterman out of the water.

I'm amused as all **** by the people that think this list means anything whatsoever.
