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!
Putting Mr. Hitchens below the contemptuous First Felons and the crimes of Kissinger? FP has moved down a notch or two...
It's a travesty, I demand a recount!
I'll use my toes!
No Greywolf or Mark G? A travesty indeed!
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.
1984
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.
"Hitchens is the guy who thinks that Chalabi can break military-grade encryption, right? Some thinker!"
