Pretty lame.  Time might as well make the Presidential election winner the Person of the Year every four years.

I have a feeling that this will only work if every four years Obama wins. Time seems to have quite the hard-on for him.
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

He deserves another Peace Prize too.  It's been a while since the last one.

I agree.  We are at peace with a lot of countries right now, after all. :)

With the ashes of Newsweek still smoldering, I guess Time has to try to make themselves look even sillier.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Lulz, haters.

You're all just pissed that Time didn't pick "You" again.  :P

What did Obama achieve this year except for reelection?

The near destruction of the GOP tards?

Upon some reflection I really don't have a problem with Obama being selected.  He had a pretty good year for himself and won a spectacular victory in November.

If Obama does well this term as promised, then he should justifiably be selected again in 2016.

Ooh, good one.  Can anyone explain to me why people seem to be taking it so seriously?  Even most people I hear joke about it seem a slight bit nervous.

I'm not sure exactly how Mayan calender resets got translated in to "End of the World".
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

I think it's the build up; the date has been mentioned for years and now it's finally here.
