    Ross. I like that. Reminds me of when I used to refer to Annie Lennox as Arnie.

    I think Ross is O'Donnell's true birth name.

    Britney Spears but no Paris?

    Paris should be number one. Mel Gibson should be higher.

    From the Gerald Ford item:

    "Posthumous media flip-flop on the pardon highlights how sad and weak the press has become."

    Richard Mellon Scaife makes No. 2. There should be far more of a media presence on this list, though.

    Laughed for most of it, little offended by this though

    29. Jesus Christ

    Charges: May not have existed, and if he did, probably wasn’t even American, but more of a dark-hued Jewish dwarf. A hygienically challenged hairball who rarely bathed or brushed his teeth. If alive today, he’d appropriately be branded as schizophrenic and disregarded by society. Sermon on the Mount was the very definition of socialism, and subsequently an affront to the self-regulating benevolence of the free market. An appeasing, cheek-turning pussy like this would never cut the mustard in America today.

    Exhibit A: Contrary to prevailing pop theology, absolutely everyone, including the sheepishly devout, will be "left behind" at the apocalypse and forced to endure what biblical scholars estimate to be from 3 to 7 years of "hell on earth" before scoring that golden bus ticket to the gated community in the sky. Kind of a dick move, no?

    Sentence: Second coming completely ignored, as it happens to coincide with Brangelina’s wedding.

    I know the point of the list is to take jabs at people and figures, but to take a shot at Christianity as a whole is a bit much. Very hypocritical, especially considering his bashing of Gibson for his anti-semitism.

    Agree, Beef. That list would have been a lot better without that one.

    oh my goodness. would hate to have christians question their beliefs ... that would (conveniently) be blasphemy.

    damned people who don't think like you.

    It's not a question of disagreeing with someone's particular beliefs, it's a matter of having respect for someone's beliefs. If he was so quick to attack the Christians, where was the attack on the muslams, or the jews or the hindus? why is it always OK by society's standards to take these potshots at Christianity, but the minute someone goes after the Jews he is immediately branded an anti-semite and condemned by society (and no, I do not condone taking pot shots at Judaism either, it was mearly an example).
