Hey there hottie

Salon piggybacks jumps on follows in the footsteps of People Magazine for its own Hot Dude of the year pronouncement. I like their geekchic. Steven Colbert takes #1. And who’s to argue with the runners’ up court?

Philip Seymour Hoffman (my birthday twin), Richard Dawkins, Bruce Springsteen. In some unkind twist, Jon Stewart is left in last place. I just can’t face it. Instead, I turn, for solace, to the People Magazine Sexiest Man Alive issue. Right now, that is.

People Magazine is no pillar of the intelligensia, is not a resource for smart people, will never be a source for excellent writing. But geez, they can pick a hot guy when they have to, can’t they?
