Now that I've been named Time's Person of the Year, I expect my readership to go up considerably.

John Kerry is appropriately (and uncharacteristically) humble about it, of course.

“When I picked up my copy of Time at the newsstand,” said Sen. Kerry, “and saw my own image looking back at me, I thought ‘Of all the great people in the world this year — Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, Kofi Annan, Kim Jong-Il — how can it be you, John?’”

Of all the great people in the world this year — Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, Kofi Annan, Kim Jong-Il...

He sets himself up in great company, huh? A Persian megalomaniac, a terrorist cleric, an illegal business partner of Saddam Hussein and an Asian megalomaniac.

Once again Kerry proves his love of all things un or anti-American is his first love. To consider those 4 men as being great, is his most recent defining statement. I hope it bites him regularly between now and November 2008.

Ummmm...Steve?

It's Scrappleface...

I don't think that Steve realised that Time named "You" as the Person of the Year (and presumably put a shiny piece of foil in the middle of the front cover to reflect the image of the reader). Without that fact, and seeing that the link goes to scrappleface, it's hard to know that it's satire.

That, and the fact that it's hard to tell reality from satire when it comes to Kerry, et al lately.

I stand "got" guys, I didn't read the effing URL when I got there. My bad, but you have to admit, it sounds like him

Oh... it was a joke. Now I get it.

Next time, less glue sniffing, more figuring out who the Time Person of 2007 is going to be. OTOH, maybe they can reuse that cover.

Er, that request was rhetorically directed to Time magazine collectively. The rest of you can continue to sniff all the glue you want. Sorry about the blooper.

Thanks Karl, this seems like a bad week to pick, to stop sniffing glue.
