Mark Twain, Abraham Lincoln, Emperor Norton, Muhammed Ali, Elizabeth I, Catherine the Great, H.L. Mencken, Lewis Black, Little Steven, Jimmy Carter, all my ancestors going back to whenever I got tired of it, Barry Goldwater, Dwight D. Eisenhower, JFK, Mikhail Gorbachev, Franz Kafka, Nikita Kruschev, Nikola Tesla, Leon Theremin, Winston Churchill, most of the people in my heroes list, and this could go on for a long time, but if I had to choose just one, it'd be the first in this list.
