There’s no point keeping you in suspense any longer.
Our week-long scientific reader poll is over, and by overwhelming majority you selected Britain’s Prince Charles as the Coolest Leader Dude, beating U.S. President Barack Obama and Russia’s Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.
Here you see an emotional Charles hearing the good news today and letting it sink in. Actually these may be photos of some other events, but I imagine he looked pretty much like this.
To quote from a few of the reader ballots:
- Charles was our paperboy when we lived in El Paso. A fine lad!
- I like the looney ones. I bet he laughs like Woody Woodpecker.
- I had all of Prince’s CDs before he changed his name.
- It takes a real man to wear a kilt. My dad wears a skirt, but it’s just not the same.
- It’s so cool not to have a last name! Wait. Is Charles his last name?
- I’m voting for Charles, Blog Guy, just to spite you for trying to ‘fix’ the poll results!

You’ll be hearing from one of Vlad’s people soon to discuss with you these results. ;-(
It’s called “social engineering”, Bob. I’m just way too cool like that.
Now, I’m off to collect my bags of money from Charles…oops…maybe I wasn’t supposed to say anything about that.
dude! i thought i told you to post that pic of my man, BHO exiting the \\\”beast\\\” in his cool dark sunglasses….it would have been a no-contest! hmpf.
Even after winning, Charles continues to show off his coolness with the ladies
Cool.
More a coolest ‘bloke’!
Man you are pissing of the dudes…
I didn’t vote for Charlie once throughout the whole poll, but that picture of him dancing with the Amazon women totally changed my mind. The man has style.
Also, the first picture of him – priceless.
Blog Guy, I’m sorry that your poll was ruined. I sure would have loved to see the pictures you had in store if Mad Vlad or the Obaminator won.
I just don’t understand why you have this problem with Charles Philip Arthur George Windsor. He’s screwed the most gorgeous women in the world. He can fly any aircraft known to man. He’s outfitted head to toe by Savile Row. And, he’s a nice guy. You need to get a grip and calm down. Charles is a cool guy, no matter how you slice or dice it.
Nothing but admiration – well done Charles, you are human after all :O)
