De Gaulle. His only other international rival was Tintin. Oh and he invented a gameshow.

I'm not sure if this new tendency to appeal to the apparent inherent evil of Xahar in all things even remotely related to forum policing or this damn game is especially helpful.

Guess it's a question of perspective & choice of narrative method ...

... and that, by the way, is also one of the reasons why none of Eric Hobsbawm's books has been turned into a succesful Broadway musical so far.

MLK wins with the lowest plurality in the series so far.
It looks like only the 1990s could realistically see a winner with a lower percentage of the vote.
