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!

It's a travesty, I demand a recount!
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.
Hitchens is the guy who thinks that Chalabi can break military-grade encryption, right? Some thinker!
This list is too embarrassing to read. I couldn't make it past #11.
