Around 2,000 people took part in the survey which decided that rather than having an incompetent in charge of the USA, they would like Homer Simpson to take the role. In second place came West Wing’s fictional president, Josiah Bartlett.

Homer’s manifesto in the Radio Times, written by The Simpsons scriptwriters ran: “I promise there will be fewer nuclear disasters with me as your mayor than with me as your nuclear safety inspector.”

The top ten in full:

1 - Homer Simpson (The Simpsons) (John says “hes got my vote”
2 - Josiah Bartlet (The West Wing)
3 - Dr Frasier Crane (Frasier)
4 - Sgt Bilko (The Phil Silvers Show)
5 - Gil Grissom (CSI: Crime Scene Investigation)
6 - Jack Bauer (24)
7 - Dr Cliff Huxtable (The Cosby Show)
8 - Phoebe Buffay (Friends)
9 - Tony Soprano (The Sopranos)

… You’re blogging in your head before you fall asleep.

… You tell your friends and family things like, “I’ll ping you and you ping me back,” or “Okay, I want to trackback on your last comment…”

… you blog in your head an event that’s happening at that very moment!

… you actually take the time to figure out how to set up Active Desktop in Windows just so that you can make your Bloglines MyBlogs page your Windows background.

… and then you actually leave it that way because you like it… and you make that your browser home page.

… all of the visible entries in your browser’s links toolbar relate to blogging!
