100 Greatest Americans
Professor Bainbridge has discovered the Discovery Channel's new show where the audience can vote for greatest American out of 100 people listed.
Sounds okay, but the list includes such 'great Americans' as Ellen Degeneres - who is certainly a great comedienne, and Tiger Woods - a great golfer, and Joseph Smith - the founder of the Mormon Faith -- all interesting folks, but great Americans? I don't think so!
The majority of the other 'great Americans' Discovery Channel would have us vote on are celebrities, living celebrities.
Go read the Prof's post - it is very good.
By the way, I agree with the Professor's inclusion of Julia Childs on his list of Great Americans.

James Madison isn't on the list, but he is the best because he was responsible for most of the constitution and 2/3 of the federalist papers.
