Palin was (probably still is) a phenomenon in American politics. It's only fair that Time gives her due consideration for Person of the Year. (And they can consider Meredith Whitney along with Sarah Palin.) |

I Owe It All To John D'Oh

My head won't explode until I see her picture on the cover of The Man of the Year edition. When that happens, I will initiate my auto-destruct sequence. |

Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool. I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss! - Cecil Lewis | |

I hope the whole family is on the cover. |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

I was going to point out that POTY did not necessarily have a good connotation. |
