WTF?
Pooty Poot is Time's Person of the Year? What's up with that? Gore deserves it so much more.

1. NPR has a bit on it tonight on ATC
It's not exactly an honor as Stalin won it twice. The editor (I think?) from Time was on and said there really is no rhyme or reason to how they choose. More of a gut feeling that they go with every year.

Our guy has a few more years to make this honor. Maybe next year after he wins the nomination at the brokered convention? :shrug:

:hi:

integrity to give credit where credit is due, because it was Al Gore and he happens to be the primary Democrat responsible for empowering the American People when he championed the Internet. They're a right wing piece of shit and I will never buy another one.

Edit for P.S. They spent too much of their capital libeling Al Gore over the years, their greatest inventions of the 20th century issue even has a remark in there about contrary to Al Gore's opinion he didn't invent the Internet or something to that effect. I believe they would have to eat too much crow and that's why he wasn't selected.

3. Well, there's no arguing with any of that...
Given their history, I don't think Al would much care to receive any recognition from them now anyway.

But next time, let us know what you really think, ok? Holding back is not good for your health! :hi:

I thought I detected a softer demeanor than usual. Thanks for not being part of that war on Christmas!
