People with funny names. Like Wolfowitz, Scooter, and Rummy. They seem to get things done. And when I'm elected, my first order of business will be to set up a steel cage match with Michael Moore versus Mel Gibson. To be immediately followed by a mud wrestling bout with Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears squaring off against Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie. Hopefully in 29 years these names will still be funny.
Stuff that sounds good: Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Elvis, Otis Redding, Lou Reed, Coltrane & Davis, The Bird, The Who, OutKast, The Roots, White Stripes, The Flaming Lips, Beck, Arcade Fire, The Killers, Johnny Cash, Smashing Pumpkins, The Eels, Elliot Smith, Modest Mouse, Swank... etc.

Stuff that helps people good: pretty much anybody involved in any of the material in all the previous spots. Besides all that... Batman, The Dalai Lama, Barack Obama, Albert Einstein, Scipio Africanus, John Milton, Martin Luther King jr., ...Joss Whedon also deserves a special shout-out.
Oh, and John McCain used to be listed here, but until he steps back from the brink, away from the dark side (of Conservatism; i.e. the Religious Right), he will remain blackballed. Especially when Obama wins in '08. BUH-ZING!
