[ol] [li]Christmas - awesome time of year.[/li][li]Chocolate - can’t have any, but still pretty good[/li][li]Florida - nice place makes up for stupidity of small portion of inhabitants[/li][li]Oprah Winfrey - okay if a bit hokey and full of herself[/li][li]Justin Bieber - not as annoying as anyone below him. Nice to fans.[/li][li]The Kardashians - ultimately harmless[/li][li]FOX News - bad, but not as bad as:[/li][li]Rush Limbaugh - at least Fox has non-hateful content[/li][li]Vladimir Putin - has killed people[/li][li]Whooping cough - has killed even more people[/li][/ol] And, **Zeldar** , I love your threads! And congrats on getting FOX News so high in the list. ---
