People magazine has named Matthew McConaughey “sexiest man alive” for 2005.

I wrote of Mr. McConaughey earlier this fall (we’re so ahead of the curve on the big issues):

As my new philosopher for common sense, actor Matthew McConaughey, put it to Oprah Winfrey: It’s all about “service — share what you have.” McConaughey was part of an Oprah TV special in the days after the storm’s hellish destruction hit the people of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. Rather than play up divisive issues — most notably the blame game and the shameful fanning of racism flames like others did and have — McConaughey summed up what so many Americans have been living in the days since the hurricane left countless homeless and worse.
