It's always good to see him recognised, but I doubt Hitch will be very impressed when looking at some of the characters before him in the list, like Henry Kissinger at #25!

I'll use my toes!

I am a global thinker!
So much for being a 'great thinker' if all that you've done is hold the world ransom just because you are in a position of power
Lists like these are usually useless, just like people's top artists lists.

THere are a hundred different ways you can phrase the title of that article and list and have all those politicians ahead of Hitchens.
I can understand Kissinger can count as a thinker, i guess. But Ron Paul? The guys a fucking moron.
But if you phrase it as "Golbal thinkers" Hitchens should be above every single one of the people on that list.
