I do.

You need to include a link - or people may think that you (and I) are
conceited.

Aw, that kinda spoils the fun, in case anyone hadn't heard about the
biggest copout by Time yet.

I've never heard of Time "copping out". Naming Hitler and Stalin (twice)
takes great big ones, or no brain. I'm surprised they never named Osama.

That's exactly the point... they no longer have the guts to make a
provocative choice, like they used to.

Perhaps they should change the title to something other than "person of
the year" because to most people that implies an award for good deeds.
I don't know, maybe "news-maker of the year."

Thank heavens, it's certainly about Time.

They don't? They've provoked _you_ haven't they?

Hello, John:

Ol' Adolf and Uncle Joe made it, eh? How odd, then, that Charles Manson
didn't!

Alas, I guess Charlie is merely a piker, as far as mass-murdering rats
are concerned, and doesn't really deserve such illustrious company. (Mao
Tse-Tung should've been on Time magazine's shortlist, though.)


Cordially,
John Turco
