Excellent choices, I would say.
If Dasher has that type of reputation, I'm putting her to the top of my LIVE list!
Very good. If I could change history, it would have been to convince Gerald Ford to drop out of the 1976 primary race. Having Reagan beat Carter in 76 would have saved the world much grief.
OMG. Sophia is giving her boobs the once over!
I mentioned St. Augustine in an Earlier post as well. Toss in St Benedict and St. Thomas Aquinas and things would really get interesting!
KArl Rove? Me too. I have some strong advice for him!
Your father is still alive though, is he not?
Where's Nolan Ryan on that list!?
I undersatnd that sentiment completely!
Very little would match what they teach today in schools. I think I told you my Gramps was in WWI (infantry) and WWII (Seabees). I wish to God I had spent more time listening to his stories in my youth. So I'd have to add Gramps.
Don't drink myself, but I'd love to have a drink with Winston Churchill. And maybe Lewis B. "Chesty" Puller. And Richard I. Bong or Thomas McGuire. And Erich Hartmann. And Michael Wittman. And H. Beam Piper and Robert A. Heilein. And "Doc" E. E. Smith. and Robert E. Howard. And Pol Anderson and Gordon R. Dickson.
All of these folks are dead. There ain't all that many folks breathin' that I'd care to have a drink with, that I haven't alread done so! Maybe Kalishnikov and Stoner?
Interesting Choices. Edgar Allen Poe? Wasn't he a heroin addict?
I'm still mad at him for splitting up the church. Please tell him that! :)
Think Condi would let her hair down after a couple?
"Ben Franklin, George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson. There'd be endless conversation material, then when we get really drunk we could go tear stuff up."

I don't think George was much of a party animal. Let's substitute Patrick Henry or Paul Revere and let GW keep his dignity! :)
I agree with your selection of GW.
Jane Austen? Must be a woman thing! ;o)
Rudyard Kipling would be fascinating!
Kinky Friedman? Is he the musician running for govenor of Texas?
And BTW, what do Kiwis know about good beer?!
Who on earth is Clive James?
He was never a Senator.
History your short suit?
Churchill would be at the top of my list! Funny, no one has said FDR on this thread!
