OK I'm in.

Ok, I just sent my answers, if it's not too late. I didn't have time to think much about my answers, so I'll probably do even worse than last time. I'll just be happy if none of them are out-and-out wrong.

Ľuboš Micheľ, seen here begrudgingly allowing Red Dog's answer of "eye blinking" as one of the inalienable rights.



Tucker Carlson, whom no one likes.

Gentlemen, begin your arguments and rhetoric. The game begins!

wendersfan

JasonF
