Worst American

Various idiots on the right are flogging the idea of a list of "worst Americans." Nominees to date include the usual suspects - Obama, Jimmy Carter, FDR - as well as some less conventional choices: Lincoln, Washington, and Andrew Jackson. Paris Hilton and Michael Moore are presumably included for comic relief.

Lists, of course, are for the weak. Make one choice and stick with it, I say. So I've got to go with Chris Columbus - the sailor, not the filmaker. He not only initiated the slaughter and genocide of hundreds of millions but was a pretty nasty and avaricious fellow in his own right. Hell of a sailor, though.
