Who did YOU admire most in 2009?


Elin Nordegrens in good company! Tiger Woods wife rounds out Gallups annual survey of the 10 women most admired in 2009, placing her just behind the likes of Maya Angelou, Queen Elizabeth II and Sarah Palin. And when it comes to the gentleman, there was no contest President Obama dominated the list of the most admired men of 2009.

Most Admired Women:

* Hillary Clinton - 16%
* Sarah Palin 15%
* Oprah - 8%
* Michelle Obama - 7%
* Condoleezza Rice - 2%
* Queen Elizabeth II 2%
* Margaret Thatcher - 1%
* Maya Angelou 1%
* Angela Merkel - 1%
* Elin Nordegren 1%

Most Admired Men:

* President Obama 30%
* George W. Bush - 4%
* Nelson Mandela - 3%
* Glenn Beck - 2%
* Pope Benedict XVI - 2%
* Rev. Billy Graham - 2%
* Bill Gates - 2%
* John McCain - 1%
* George H.W. Bush - 1%
* Bill Clinton 1%
* Tiger Woods 1%



Am I the only one to notice that the rate of being admired is roughly proportional to the amount of press coverage the person gets? People seriously have no ability to think for themselves these days.

Elin Nordegren. A gold-digging, no-account model who married a grossly promiscuous man and will now make millions for the privilege of divorcing him. LMAO

I was pleased to see Angela Merkel on the list, even though I know the only reason she appeared is that she came to Washingon, D.C., in early November.

+1 to the first person to identify her significance without Googling her.

That's nothing new. People are psychologically biased towards things that get more news coverage. In fact, a study showed that stock prices are more likely to fluctuate from news articles that contain a picture than does that do not! It's a cognitive bias.

She works a couple of kilometers east from me. There's no way I couldn't know her.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

No Martti Ahtisaari? Nobel peace prize winner of 2008, who has continued to work towards peace in the Kosovo area (plus he's finnish :cool: )

How many recent news stories have there been about Martti Ahtisaari?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Great throw by Hurts
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems
beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason
beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire
Martha Careful (10-Feb) : I cant help but feel good about how well the Packers D played in Philly during the playoffs
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : this game is over
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : This might be the kill shot here
