Dork of the year?

Here's the surprise: I am not disgusted at Time Magazine's person of the year. I actually kind of like it.

Still disgusted that anyone acts like it matters.

Was Time Magazine ever . . . good?

How did they get in charge of person of the year? Yeah, I know that one, they started it. But why did anyone ever care? At some point, they must have actually been relevant.

So hard to picture now.

Of course they can do any cover they want. Who cares.

Our media. Ugh. Yet another example of our revolting lapdog media. Why on earth do they go along with it? They actually act like it's a big deal, like the person these bozos choose actually is the person of the year.

Can you imagine anyone less qualified to have their finger on any kind of cultural pulse than Time? Kind of comical. Dork Of The Year, sure. But person?

OK, here's a compromise: Time gets to choose Dork Of The Year, someone else gets Person. Sounds fair. Let's see if they'll go for it.
