Jacko: Top 100 Greatest Americans Jacko: Top 100 Greatest Americans
Michael Jackson's star may be falling, but he's still a hero to some. Jackson is polling in the Top 100 so far in the Discovery Channel's online voting for the Greatest Americans. Among the top vote-getters: Oprah Winfrey, the only woman in the top 10. And Elvis Presley, currently ahead of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr . You can check out the list of finalists at www.discovery.com. It's probably the last and only time you will ever see Albert Einstein and Donald Trump mentioned in the same breath. Jackson, by the way, is one of four pop performers on the list — the others are Presley, Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra and Madonna. Otherwise there are no composers (The Gershwins? Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein ? Aaron Copland? Leonard Bernstein?) and certainly no artists, poets or writers. Where are Robert Frost, Robert Motherwell and William Faulkner? Harper Lee, Kurt Vonnegut and William Styron? Listless, apparently. -----   | |

It's completely baffling, the number of entertainers, celebrities (movies/tv/radio) and athletes that are included as nominees.
I was going to list them but my jaw started getting tight.
