I thought it was quite funny that Ban Ki Moon made even 41. I'm sure if he made one of his stock-standard speeches ("this is deeply regrettable. . . .") they might raise him a few positions on that list out of sympathy.

The mayor is on the list because that's Bloomberg who founded Bloomberg.

I'm almost surprised Orprah isn't higher. I like that controlling Facebook is considered more powerful than controlling the UN.
