Yes, this country has absorbed huge migrations of illiterate peasants in the past -- notably Italian immigrants at the turn of the last century. But also notably, half of them went back. We got the good ones. America was not yet a welfare state guaranteeing room and board to the luckless, the lazy and the incompetent from cradle to grave. -- Ann Coulter
Right-Of-Center Bloggers Select The Dinner Guests From Hell
by John Hawkins
Right Wing News emailed more than a 160 right-of-center bloggers and asked them to send us a list of who they considered to be the "Dinner Guests From Hell". Representatives from the following 54 blogs responded...
All bloggers were allowed to make anywhere from 1-20 selections. Rank was determined simply by the number of votes received.
The bloggers were also told that their selections had to be currently living people from anywhere in the world that they'd really dislike having to sit down with for a long 1 on 1 conversation over dinner. Furthermore, no dictators, terrorists, serial killers, or mass murderers could be selected.
Here are the selections that were made with the number of votes received following each choice in parentheses...
