For next year's list, I got dibs on Rob Ford.
I'm taking Gene Wilder as well.

I'm feeling one coming...


This is the first time I've ever said something when I got "that feeling". I guess now it's on record, whatever that means...

Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it.

You killed Mandela!

Okay, I won't tell anyone.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

Time is short. I don't think anyone has made half their list yet.

Any wagers on the next Beatle: Paul or Ringo?

Honorable (dishonorable?) mention.

Al Goldstein - Publisher of "Screw" magazine

Quote:
Mr. Goldstein did not invent the dirty magazine, but he was the first to present it to a wide audience without the slightest pretense of classiness or subtlety. Sex as depicted in Screw was seldom pretty, romantic or even particularly sexy. It was, primarily, a business, with consumers and suppliers like any other.

The manifesto in Screw’s debut issue in 1968 was succinct. “We promise never to ink out a pubic hair or chalk out an organ,” it read. “We will apologize for nothing. We will uncover the entire world of sex. We will be the Consumer Reports of sex.”

Mr. Goldstein, who lived to shock and offend and was arrested more than a dozen times on obscenity charges, stuck around long enough for social mores and technology to overtake him. By the time his company went bankrupt in 2003, he was no longer a force in the $10-billion-a-year industry he pioneered. But for better or worse, his influence was undeniable.
