Thank you to Businessweek.com for providing us with the list. Here is the top 10 and here is a link if you want to whole list of the Top 100.
Now one thing I have noticed is there is now BonaFide Sports Expert Robert Littal on the list. You know and I know that is simply ridiculous. Simply put who has more influence than me?
Who else has the whole world saying:
"Sarah Palin: Alaskan Milfs The Pipeline Edition"
