Times 100 Most Influential People

This past issue of the Times has featured the world's 100 most influential people in the world. On the list are some people who are actually large influences in the world, in both negative and positive way. Let me say, I don't care at all who the Times believes is influential or not. The Times is a left leaning magazine for people who look up to Fidel Castro, a man who kills is own people for thinking differently. But this year, things are a little out of hand and down right sick.

Let's start out by saying who wasn't on the list. Our president, George W. Bush, failed to make it on the list of most influential people. It doesn't bother me that he wasn't, except for the fact that Barak Obama and Hillary Clinton were on the list. Two people who's political experience can be put on the back of their business card made the list, but the leader of the free world didn't.

Oh but it doesn't stop there. George Clooney, a man whom I haven't since the turn of the year, made the list. Rose O' Donnell, a woman who professes her hate for Bush, the troops, and thinks that 9/11 was a government hoax, made the list. Heidi Klum, the model turned cocaine addict, made the list. What a great bunch of influential people for our children to look up to.

Let's name a few who didn't make the list. Sean Hannity, an individual with a national TV show and a syndicated radio show on more than 500 stations, didn't make the list. Rush Limbaugh (do I need to describe him) didn't make the list. That's just a few.

That's not the most appalling part. Osama Bin Laden made this list. This is just flat out sick. The leader of a terrorist organization who lead an attack on America that resulted in the death of more than 3000 citizens gets mentioned in this magazine.

Is this unbelievable or am I loosing my mind? I have heard of Bush hating, but ranking a man that is responsible for countless deaths above a man that is working to rid the world of this murdering bastard is simply absurd.
