PeeZed has already righteously outraged over the insansity of letting a schmuck like Behe write the Dawkins profile for the Time 100. I’ll simply point out that the tone of his “profile” is wildly out of line with the others that I’ve looked over, and someone on Time’s editorial board should be in for a serious smacking.
Time’s “Alt 100” is in many ways just as perceptive as their official list. While the whole American Idol silliness is deeply depressing to me, and while the idea of Idol judges being among the 25 most important people in the country makes me want to cry, it’s hard to argue with their analysis:
More people vote on American Idol than the Presidential elections, Xzibit pointed out. And almost as much is written about it.
Sigh.
And then there’s this gem:
25. Osama Bin Laden, head of Al Qeda
The panel pointed out that he’s likely to outlast Bush as head of an organization.
Oh, joy. Makes me proud to be an American.
