Did anyone see this last night? I missed it. Who did she choose as the number 1 most fascinating of the year? Elizabeth Smart? Jessica Lynch? Laci? Someone else?

It was General Franks from Iraqi war fame.

What about Sean Young? I always thought it was fascinating that she was able to find work. Although it was always someone devoid of emotion or psycho-horny.

Darn! I was going to watch this! LeBron James was one of them. He is from Akron, OH. I live in a suburb of Akron. My high school basketball team played them to get to state...we didn't get there. We were winning in the first minute! lol

After the build up ... learning it was Franks ... well, at my house, there was a big old "huh?"

I was personally so relieved that Jessica and Elizabeth were finally found NOT to be fascinating--having exhausted their Warhol-ian 15 minutes. As have Elizabeth's child-exploiting parents, who managed to write a book in the initial 6 months after their child was found ("Don't bother me, now Lizzie! I'm working on chapter 4--the part about how we didn't clean out your closets when you were missing!") I hope we never see Lynch trundled out, tongue-tied and still in the dark about what happened to her. It's downright grotesque, the way she's been used as propaganda. Even she said as much in her last "exclusive." I hope she finds peace, finally becomes a teacher, disappears, and we never see her used by the Bush admin. again.
