TIMES- PERSON OF THE YEAR

Time Announces “Person of the Year”

Posted by Dana Loesch

A nice, safe, inconsequential choice? Time couldn’t bring themselves to award information distributor, worshipper of hubris, self-styled rockstar Julian Assange the nod, though he dominated Internet voting. Of course, they couldn’t bring themselves to give the award to the tea party even though the tea party changed the course and discourse of a nation in a single year.

I’d say that the guys who founded Twitter should have received this over Zuckerberg as their service worked in conjunction with the tea party movement (from the early days of #dontgo , the hashtag phenomen that preceded the tea party, the #tcot movement which is sandwiched in between, all helping give rise to the modern-day tea party). Twitter was instrumental in the Iranian revolutions and the story of Neda. Facebook doesn’t come close to having as equal of an impact.

Thoughts on the choice?

Personally, I like Borowitz' 'Person of the Year' selection.

Borowitz Report Names its Person of the Year

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin

NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report) – The Borowitz Report has named Sarah Palin its Person of the Year.

And the year is 1641.

Yes, the tea-party should have won the award, or twitter, who worked with the tea party should win. Nice Danno, only you could take a non-political award with your particular brand of hackneyed partisan #######.

His eyes are eerily green. They don't even look human. Was that photoshopped, or is that his natural eye color?

Of all the things they could have photoshopped on his face, they chose the eyes?

If it was up to the liberals on this board the $100M would have been made part of Barry Soetoro's gift to more union members.Tax the rich they only know how to make money not spend it.
