1. I'd put Al-Jazeera before the clergy

And then swap the positions of the pastor and the inmate.

But hey, that's based on my experiences, maybe your pastor is a rockin' awesome dude :)

...But he should still come after al-Jazeera.

18. I agree....dogs #1 except for...
the minor problem with my dogs still basically being puppies (German Shepherds, two years old).

They are honest, but they aren't quite trustworthy. By that I mean, we can't leave them alone and uncrated for any length of time or else they'll have the house torn apart.

They're getting better, though.

:)


I trust animals more than I trust any human being except for Mr Pip.

11. It's not about their color of their skin but the strength of their convictions.
They can't be journalistically reliable for the same reason I'd never apply to be a mod here. They have a strong point of view.

10. No politician should ever make any list of this sort.
Then again, neither should most news networks, most pastors and most inmates.

And BP is in a special class all their own. :mad:

17. Like I said
It's a partial listing. If I had done a full listing it'd be a really, really long list. Still Faux "News" would be down near the bottom, and both Satan and Dick Cheney would be ahead of them in my rankings.
