We have a Baseball Hall of Fame and a Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame. No doubt there are halls of fame for dentists and sheet-metal contractors, too. So why not enshrine the greatest cynics of all time?
The choices are strictly my own, and they're sure to raise a few eyebrows -- although probably not more than two per person. I prefer cynics of substance, depth and humane values to merely snarky cynics, but I honor the best representatives of the latter breed, too.

If you don't find your favorite cynics, check the separate Honorable Mention list for noteworthy near-great cynics since 1900. And feel free to e-mail me with your own suggestions for Hall of Fame candidates.
