The obsessive art of list-making

Half the reason to make lists is to have people jump all over you about your choices of who to include and who not to include. Comedy Central just had the 100 greatest comedians of all and I don't think it's nit-picking to ask what the fuck they were thinking. How the hell did Gallagher make the list and Margaret Cho didn't? You don't have to like her to realize that's just nonsense.
