As you know, I like a good, ambitious ranking. Here's a well-done list of the world's heads of state, in order of hotness. [Update: Fixed link.] It's interesting to look at some of the lower-ranked heads of state and try to detect the hallmarks of unattractiveness. Many of them look like the photos were taken with a fisheye lens or distorted with a Photoshop tool.
Not surprisingly, the photos of some of the higher-ranked heads of state seem chosen to be flattering. But I've always found that photo of President Obama strangely unflattering.
I encourage any comments on the list!
