Thought they had to be alive. I just noticed a lot of people are posting dead people. How can dead people be the life of the party? And somebody posted Jesus....well of COURSE He would be there! He needs no invitation. Of course the blessing would serve as an invitation anyway. If dead people are fair game I'd have to add Shakespeare and Carroll O'Connor for sure.

[Prodigal Daughter]

Not politically correct. You have no Potawatomis on your list.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

"George and Martha Washington (I'd love to hear his take on the last 200 years)"

How much time are you willing to spend bringing him up to speed? I hear he's been a bit out of touch for a while and probably isn't too aware of the happenings over the last 200 years.
Inviting Edwin Newman or Walter Cronkite and seating them next to George would probably take care of that.

I don't know, but then again, I've never figured out why dead people only seem to vote for Democrats.

[Roebucks]

Ronald Reagan
George W Bush
Thomas Jefferson
Robert E Lee
Anne Margaret
Marilyn Monroe
Lucille Ball
Desi Arnez
Annie Oakley
Tom Clancy
Cal Ripkin, Jr.

[sweetliberty]

"I've never figured out why dead people only seem to vote for Democrats."

Yes; I always found that puzzling too. Especially when they're dead Republicans

[oldvike]

Steve Irwin! That's a damn good choice. He'd be a hoot. Hide the dog and cat, though.

[fish hawk]

Not to worry. We will put a Potawotamis on the N.Y.statue of the three firemen raising the Flag. I mean if the three firemen were white but the statue will have a black and a hispanic, why not an American Indian???

[Prodigal Daughter]

And a bison in the statue too! Now I'm happy.

[Sabertooth]

When planning a dinner, an equal number of men and women is proper...

[BuckB]

Wow - there are going to be lots of strange discussions around the table: I am going to invite: Mark Twain - someone has to keep the conversation light U.S. Grant - a genius in his own right, finest US general R.E. Lee - lost but still a great general, true gentleman Socrates - a little philosophy never hurt anyone Teddy Roosevelt - IMHO smartest man ever in the White House James Madison - designer of much of what we enjoy today Napoleon - military genius with fatal flaws Sir Jackie Fisher - British Navy transformation genius Raymond Spruance - Master of Seapower Thomas Paine - a way with the written word Sophia Loren - my date Winston Churchill - in some ways the saviour of the west Great Game: It would also be fun to invite Clinton. He could do the serving so that he could see just what a small man he really is. BuckB

[Prodigal Daughter]
