The World's Top 100 Intellectuals (UPDATED)

Posted by Bill

... as selected by Foreign Policy and the UK's Prospect Magazine.

Notables:

Noam Chomsky, Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, Bernard Lewis, BjØrn Lomborg, Bill Ardolino, Paul Wolfowitz, Fareed Zakaria, Camille Paglia, Thomas Friedman, Paul Krugman.

I guess that Maureen Dowd didn't quite make the cut.

Ok, so maybe I'm not on the list. Simple oversight, obviously.

UPDATE: Chomsky won the reader poll to determine the top five.

I see Howard Stern didn't make the cut,either. Jeff Jarvis will be OUTRAGED!

I was fooled for a minute there, Bill. If only I hadn't clicked to read below the fold.

"Noam Chomsky, Christopher Hitchens" {:^)
Choose your poison.
I'll take Hitch any day, even when (ok, if) sober.

"Fareed Zakaria".
Top 100 "Intellectual". WTF is THAT all about.

He's a very smart guy.

I'm shocked that I don't see my name there.

And Hitchens?????

If he's there then we are all in a sorry state...

Hooey and faldarol. Any such list that excludes my buddy David's Irish dad is unworthy. David's dad famously observed, "Where there's muck, there's money."

More philosophical gold in that than you can pan out of the ramblings of Chomsky in a year.
