    To be honest with you, Diane, I'm surprised.

    Please love yourself.

          What a wimpy selection. Even BLM, and my disagreements with them, would’ve been more appropriate. But it should’ve been Covid related, like front line workers. 2020 will not be remembered in history books as the “Biden” year.

                    This ranks almost as ridiculous as Obama's Nobel Prize. Their big accomplishments are, the way I see it:

                    1. Oldest man to become president
                    2. First Indian, Jamacain, African-American, Woman of Color as VEEP
                    3. Their color is not orange
                    4. First person to drop out of the race before any primary as VEEP
                    5. They're not orange
                    6. They're not Trump

                    "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

                    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                      TIME lost relevance years ago. Time for the trash heap of history.

                        What Jolly said. We only pay attention to them one day a year.

                        Thank you for your attention to this matter.

                          As with the Oscars, thousands of man-hours will be spent explaining why nobody cares about this award, by people who care so little that they spend thousands of hours doing so.

                          And they'll sell magazines.

                          I was only joking

                            Ben Shapiro tweets: "And yet the word "person" is singular. They just can't bear to leave Kamala off. Get a food taster, Joe Biden."

                              Every time Biden and Kamala talk together watch the dynamic. He clearly signals partnership and defers to her, he knows the playbook is that she is heir apparent right out of the gate.

                              Biden always wanted to be President, the man in charge. That instinct will reveal itself over time and privately it will eat in to him when it’s clear he has to run everything by her. He may inadvertently smack her down when the voice inside his head leaks out.

                                So half the people in the country hate Time a little more.

                                But the other half might buy the magazine.

                                Time is probably ahead on the transaction.

                                  If you look at the list of past winners of the Time Man of the Year award, the winning presidential candidate has been the winner every election year since 2000 and often before that. President Trump was 2016, President Obama was for 2008 and 2012, President Bush 2000 and 2004 - a lot of imagination there at Time.

                                          They've backed themselves into a corner. Had they given the award to Health Care Workers or someone else, it would suggest that PE Biden was somehow less significant than the choice of previous Presidential choices.
