Call Casey Kasem

Have you seen this? If not you can see it here, here, or here. I'm in the top 40. It is hard to describe what this means to me. Maybe it is best if you just read it yourself here.

I'm actually ranked above Obama. Which, when you think about it, makes sense. Has Obama started a movement that recruits recent college graduates to become teachers in our nation's most under-resourced schools? No, but I have. So why would he be ranked above me? He wouldn't. And he isn't. Good call Time.

But clearly this isn't a perfect system. It is a democracy where everyone can vote and I do mean everyone. How else can you explain Matt Damon at #27? Was that thing with Sarah Silverman funny? Absolutely. Did it make a difference in countless children's lives? And not just any rich kid's life, but I'm talking about really cute, poor kids. I think not. If I can beat out Barack, how can I not beat out Beckham? Is having an amazing free-kick vital to this nation's future? Bad call Time.

Feel free to go here and vote. Or go here.
