However, based on the attention the media gave to the Vatican, recently, it seems like any rationality we possess remains mostly latent. I am uncomfortable about the legitimacy the so-called news gave to an organization that protects grown male pedophiles who wear dresses. It’s unfortunate that our corporate media provides religious groups considerable attention instead of informing the public of political, economic and scientific issues.; 3:10 PM

5. J'onn Jonzz -- Never all that popular with my crowd for lack of a personality, still the kind of guy you like to have around in a pinch.
4. Teezy -- Cute and mysterious and obscure... what more could you want from a Martian
3. Marvin -- Cause I love that hat and I'm not quite sure what a Uranium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator is.
2. Uncle Martin -- I know the category is sort of named for him, and I really liked the show, but for obvious reasons, he's only second in my book. Ray Walston, on the other hand, remains a giant in my book. From "Damn Yankees" to "Picket Fences," a class act.
1. Valentine Michael Smith -- One of my intellectual forebearers. Though I grok very little and have shared little water of late, his scandalous life remains a model to which to aspire.
