So, in a kind of protest to the "Sexist Man Alive" (George Clooney =Boring), Salon issued this protest; dubbing Steven Colbert the "Sexiest Man Living." But I am going to do them one better, because that is what I do (steal people's ideas and refurbish them, thereby, redering them useless) and nominate the "Sexiest Men of History." My criteria? Whatever I want!

1# Vladimir Nabokov: It is rare that you find a deeply-talented writer capable of penetrating, emotional insights, who hasn't cheated on his wife, spiraled into alcoholism, drug abuse, or cheated on his wife. But Nabokov did it. He was a loving father and husband. His novels are beautiful as are his insights into life, love, and the genetics of butterflies.
