Obama: Time's Man Of The Year

Yes, I know: the official, politically-correct title is "Person of the Year" but mine sounds cooler; besides, a woman hasn't won this thing on her own since the mid-eighties anyway. What's wrong, ladies? Are your hooters getting in the way of accomplishment? Just kidding, just kidding: I love your beautiful breasts; many of you already know that.

Not to take anything away from Obama's accomplishment but it seems to me that this distinction has become less of an honor over the years. Back in the day, it was a really big deal because Time magazine was the shizznit as far as periodicals went and there just weren't that many of them around but now that there are so many media outlets choosing their "this of the years" and "that of the years" it's become somewhat watered down. Plus, the bar has obviously been lowered a bit at times: if Bush could win this thing twice, who could even doubt that Obama didn't deserve it?

Either way: congrats to the man; party at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in 32 days! Holla!
