Arise Vlad

I needed a reminder that the year was nearly over and it came today: Vladimir Putin has been named as Time's person of the year. Inevitably there are likely to be those who misunderstand the title and question why it has been bestowed on a leader who many deem a fascist, ahead of say Al Gore. But thats always the case.


I'm just glad that Time decided to name an actual person this year and not cop out in the manner they did last year by naming "You" as person of the year and having that ridiculous foil cover.

So, who is going the 2008 Person of the Year? My guess is that Time will revert to predictability. Therefore the primaries for Person of the Year 2008 are going on right now; with things about to kick off in Iowa. Vlad will be passing the crown to either Giuliani, Huckabee, Clinton or Obama in a years time...........a bold prediction indeed......or maybe not.
