I feel terribly remiss at not having posted on this earlier (!) -- but last month People magazine named Matthew McConaughey '2005's Sexiest Man Alive.' Can't say that I see it myself -- although the Southern charm is quite -- charming. (Of course, if you can pull Penelope Cruz, you probably got a lot more going for you than just charm.)

Maybe there is something about those Irish genes after all.... ;-)

Update from Razib: Via Sitemeter I find out we are #1 for the Matthew McConaughey query on technorati (his name is hard to spell!).
