That is The Modern Library's list. The Rand cultists turned the readers' poll into a joke - and they're now turning American political life into a very unfunny joke, if such a thing is still possible. We were warned; but we didn't listen. The editorial board's selections are pretty much rubbish as well.

Contrary to lies of FNB and Woofboxer, I (and most of the other "Buff Bastards") have been banned from posting on this forum. There are only a few posters left so don't waste your time on here. This forum is dead and nobody cares.
