Just had a weird thought: if this poll keeps going the way it is, we may have to have a runoff between Holmes and Coulter! Who would win that one? 😃 ---

I voted for Grissom. He’s the only one on the list who’s been someplace other than Earth. ---

> [@RivkahChaya](#): > > Rush Limbaugh . . . He was my second choice, as he’s the only one on the list who is positively and actively evil. (But John Holmes is even more…um…outstanding.) ---

> [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > Gus Grissom? Never mind than. Didn’t recognize the name.
