It’s that Time again. Tomorrow’s mag will invite your nominations for their “Person of the Year.” The process has already begun, and among the nominees are J.K. Rowling, Cindy Sheehan and Bono. Please do make your own nominations (here) and then vote when the noms are closed. Otherwise we’ll probably get the 2005 Dynamic Duo — Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame — on the cover of Time.
There are so many possibilities: Rafael Palmeiro, Dick Durbin and Dominique de Villepin, just to name a few. I won’t even mention Mark Brunell.
To the extent we should take this seriously at all (which isn’t much), why not someone such as: Aussie Treasurer Peter Costello, who told those who want to establish Islamic law in his country to bugger off or Gen. Russ (don’t get stuck on stupid) Honore or his boss, The Big Dog? Think about it.
