I fired a pissy email to Time magazine...
...just a little snap note to let them know of my distaste at their choice of "person of the year".

Mailbox is full. Oh well.

1. What the hell is wrong with their choice?
Did your ancestors also fire off letters to Time when they chose Hitler as man of the year?

3. Yep...In 2000
Guess stealing the presidency makes you a person of the year.

4. Remember, Hitler was once the man of the year
It has nothing to do with what a person's done, it's how big an impact they've had.

Though using that criteria, I would have picked the CEO of Diebold.

5. You miss the point: Time is PRAISING Bush!
"For sticking to his guns (literally and figuratively), for reshaping the rules of politics to fit his ten-gallon-hat leadership style and for persuading a majority of voters that he deserved to be in the White House for another four years, George W. Bush is TIME's 2004 Person of the Year."

Time Magazine is NOT treating Bush like Hitler. They are treating him like The Messiah!
