Ronald Reagan was chosen by "the people" in a poll/tv series that A&E had been running for the past month. Huh? I don't get it... is it that stupid "tear down this wall Mr. Gorbechov!" (sp? I actually looked it up but I can't remember it!)...ok that was one good thing. But um what about the nuclear weapon mass production? the Iran Contra deal? Maybe I just can't remember enough of the "good" stuff because I was pretty little when he was in office...but...

I would've picked Martin Luther King (in fact I voted for him my 3 allotted times this week)
I also selected Rosa Parks (she was picked off in a preliminary round)
I also selected Ben Franklin (he rounded off the top 5)
I also selected George Washington Carver (he was picked off in the prelims as well).
I also selected Walt Whitman and Mark Twain (they both were canned in the prelims...I wouldn't have actually said they were the greatest but I love them both).

Apparently my greatest Americans aren't that popular. It's always a popularity contest isn't it. And wouldn't you know that the president from Hollywood won. Was that mean? Too bad.
