Time’s 100 Most Influential People
Time is trying to whittle down a list of 200 influential people to 100 people — and they want everyone’s help. They also want to know who should have been on this list that wasn’t (besides ME, that is..). CLICK HERE to help them out.
PS. Sanjaya Malakar is #11 — which shows our civilization is lost. (At least Perez Hilton is only #15.)

Ya gotta love a list that puts Stephen Colbert at the # 1 spot, but lists George Bush at #84 (Cheney didn’t even make the cut)!
Hey, but at least he’s a “conservative”…….LOL!

Man, I need beer now. I thought Joe was joking, but I clicked and looked, and no…
Marlowe want beer.
At least when Sanjaya makes the cover of TIME as the most influential person in the world, the pain will be numbed.
Hey- Bill’o, Rush and Sean are out,while Jon Stewart and Keith Olbermann were in the top 30. No to Karl Rove and Rupert Murdoch- yes to Obama and Al Gore. No to Rummy and Rice -yes to Eric Shinseki. LOL!
Let’s not start confusing this with any sort of normative reality…….the appearance of 4 techies in the top ten, along with Howard Stern at 14 and the Kos Kid himself at 28………I smell a Diggbat monsoon overtaking whatever the original polling was.
There is no such thing as liberal bias in the media. Get over it. The media has told us there is none, so it is obviously true.
And the fact that 90% of them vote Democrat, well, that is just an inconvenient truth.
casual- next you’re going to assert that Time Magazine is secretly run by George Soros- except that – he didn’t make the list, LOL! At least Bill and Hill did- so the poll results must be due to a Clinton conspiracy.
Well Sanjaya is still above the President and several spots above the first politician (Obama) but at least Paris Hilton is now dead last! (though the fact she’s in the list at all is still sad). In any case the whole thing has the credibility of Karl Rove selling you a used car. In the number two spot there’s a Korean R&B singer and the third the author of Harry Potter. Yeah, REAL influential. This, at the most, will be a reflection of which blogs/forums have the greatest power to get their readers to vote. The winners will very likely be idols of the young and/or geeky and/or lefty.
I have to admit that I hadn’t heard of about half of the most influential people in the poll- especially some at the very top- so its questionable how influential they really are.
God look at Rain at #11!! That is such a rip off. All those Koreans are chain mailing and messaging other Koreans over internet to rate Rain 100 and rate whoever are above him 1! Stephen Colbert was on avg rating of 93 and Rain on 70 now Colbert is down to 91 and Rain is up to 71. Those Koreans are really working their ass off to get Rain into top 10.
I bet most of the votes for Rain came from overseas.
The only reason why Rain’s vote is so how because all those Korean newspapers and online articles showed off Rain’s shiny ass while Rain was #1 on the list and all of the Koreans are now stamping 100′s on his ass.
This is Internet Massacre. THIS is what you call NATIONAL SHAME for all those who said VTM was a national shame.
Your nation’s GREED and PRIDE are shown crystal clear.
Now probably YOU think I’m a racist bastard but I USED to Korean.
I have gotten rid of all my fobbishness and reluctant pride.
!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now he’s at 73!!
typo:The only reason why Rain’s vote is so high is because
BTW now Colbert is at 90 and Rain is 74.
