Ah! Wonderful! TIME mag's '100 Most Influential People'. Let's see... What the? Sacha Baron Cohen?! This sleazeball couldn't possibly tell a joke below the belt -- because the belt is dangling around his ankles. His gags are just that: puke! He's influenced me all right -- I want to change the channel each time I see his smug mug.
Moving on. Soon to be Dr, Al Gore?! The tree-hugging, doom-merchant who releases more greenhouse gasses in a day, flying around to give his 'save-the-planet' speech and attend Oscar acceptance parties, than the average American does in a year? We'll change when you do, Al. Nuff said.
Hmm... some of these are not bad. Right on!
Wait a minute. Something's not right here. What happened to the single most powerful man in the world -- Commander in Chief of the United States armed forces? I see Osama Bin Laden made the list. What about the man with the big stick that he's hiding from? Condolezza Rice and John Roberts made the list. What about the man who appointed them? The one who's busy waging a 'global war on terror' and has hundreds of thousands of men and women embroiled in costly war of attrition against fanaticism?
This can't be a popularity contest since leaders from some oppressive countries, namely China, Iran and Cuba made it. What about the leader of the free world? Seeing this it TIME, I might be wrong. If it is a popularity contest, then you left out 'Mlume'! Everybody loves my dog.
The office of the President of the United States of America, irrespective of political leaning or popularity is the single most influential person. How have other people in this list been more influential? Have they saved lives? Have they taken away lives? Have they helped the world economy? Have they slowed the economy? Have they done any of these to the same extent that the president can and has? We're talking about the fella who just recently told Congress and the Senate to "shut up, sit down" when he vetoed their 'cut-and-run-from-Iraq' bill. After reading this list I'm expectantly waiting for the next winner of American Idol to be proclaimed "TIME's Man of the Year".
I'm not even going to get started on how Barack Hussein Obama makes it there ahead of him. Maybe they were handing out 'risk-free presidencies' since I've never seen him take a stance on any of the controversial and important issues:
"Uh, President Obama, Osama just threatened to drop a nuke in NY if you don't come have a happy-meal with him at the local McDonals!"

"Lets take a poll and see if there's a consensus on this issue."
When TIME gets done patting itself on the back for yet another rip on Dubbya, they'll realize that no one cares what they have to say -- people will have moved on to journalism where news is reported – not made.
I have one question for whoever drafted this list: are you smoking your magazine?
