Person of the Year

2007-12-20 20:55:13.727722+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

To those people whining about Time Magazine choosing Vladimir Putin as "person of the year", I wish to point out that the little Bush has been so named twice, as have Newt Gingrich, the Ayatollah Sayid Ruhullah Musawi Khomeini, and many other reprehensible would-be dictators and peddlers of evil. It's a recognition of influence, not an honor. Or at least it should be viewed as such.

Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
