After More Than Half A Million Votes Cast, Don Draper #1 on AskMen.com’s Top 49 Most Influential Men of 2009

Los Angeles, California (October 6, 2009) – AskMen.com the world’s largest lifestyle portal for men with more than 11 million visitors monthly, revealed its highly anticipated 4th annual reader-voted list of the Top 49 Most Influential Men of 2009 today.

The list assembles a diverse collection of men from around the world and from a variety of industries including entertainment, politics, technology, and sports. All the honorees had a direct effect on the way men see the world, and notably in 2009, many reflect classic values that are most meaningful to the male identity today.

“In a turbulent 2009, men are seeking the stability of tradition in the masculine qualities that they imagine their fathers and grandfathers to have had,” says James Bassil, Editor-in-Chief of AskMen.com. “The character of Don Draper brings all these traits together, and in doing so speaks directly to the modern man. He’s a man whose time has come.”

Others on the list embody a host of classic qualities; Usain Bolt as the personification of competitive and athletic ability, President Barack Obama asthe male portrait of classic statesmanship, Mark Zuckerberg and Steve Jobs as pillars of entrepreneurial spirit and determination.

For the complete list of 2009’s most influential men head on over to AskMen.

Barack Obama is in the doghouse.

After electing not to bestow United States President and 2009 commencement speaker Barack Obama with a coveted ASU honorary degree, The Daily Show’s Jason Jones headed to Arizona to get questions answered.

This is what happened.

What I believe America needs is a leader who the American people rally behind and feel united under. Bill Clinton was able to do this well, and despite many of the problems he encountered (what is a bigger deal, a bj or more war) the economy was humming.

I think it’s important that in the next few months, we understand that big things can and will happen. Please take the five minutes it will take to consider (whether or not you love or hate Moore) to read this email Moore recently sent out regarding the Penn Primaries. Also, there’s nothing funny about this, but I posted it under “Comedy” as it gains the most attention.

“My Vote’s for Obama (if I could vote) …by Michael Moore

Friends,

I don’t get to vote for President this primary season. I live in Michigan. The party leaders (both here and in D.C.) couldn’t get their act together, and thus our votes will not be counted.

So, if you live in Pennsylvania, can you do me a favor? Will you please cast my vote — and yours — on Tuesday for Senator Barack Obama?

For all of you who missed Stephen Colbert on Larry King last night, you really missed something special. So I scoured the internet long and hard (thanks youtube) and found the pot of gold at the end of my colorful and arching quest for the man who could have, and should have been on the Democratic ticket.
