From the Department of You Have Got to Be Kidding Me

One of Time’s candidates for Person of the Year is Sandra Fluke?
Look, I’ve got a six-year-old who probably demands even more free stuff than Sandy — so where’s his cover story?
I know Time also selected Hitler one year, but at least Hitler could draw a crowd.
But, hey, it’s the Year of the War on Women or something, so Sandy probably fits right in with our zeitgeist of ignoring important things while elevating the trivial. Maybe they ought to pick her after all.
What, Julia wasn’t available????
I have a dilemma. I’ve got two dogs, which one’s poo should I nominate for Time’s Poopson of the Year?
Between her, “Julia,” Obamaphone Lady, and Lena Dunham, it’s the Year of the Dependent Woman.
How long can the charade of a “free press” go on?
It’s not like Time has ever been known for its neutrality, but still, this is just pathetic.
Well there you go, The worlds most unworthy candidate nominated by the worlds most unread magazine. You would be hard pressed to find a better headstone for the 60′s generation than that.
In the words of that great philosopher Zathras: “Well, at least we have symmetry”
“Very sad life. Probably very sad death. Ah well.”
“Mathematics not Zathras’ skill.”
Zathras for Fed Chairman!
No fiction will ever be stranger than truth such as this.
The magic pass word is “Be-clowning.” “Oh dang she’s be-clowning herself. Let’s Help out by be-clowning ourselves.” Soon there is circular be-clowning action.
Time may as well go full Monty the way the Nobel Peace Prize has.
Seriously, why not?
We can put Time’s clownish antics here right up next to their clownish antics in overindulging in orgasmic support for the Occupy Wall Street movement (when everyone else could have told them “this will not end well”).
I can’t wait for the day that the old media finally becomes so fiscally counterproductive that it collapses under it’s own dead weight, and PJ Media, Reason, National Review, and News Corp are all that’s left (pun intended).
Time can go Fluke themselves.
Ick, just saw a replay of her speaking. I can’t see how such a bitter shrew would even need birth control.
I’ve got mixed emotions on this.
Helping stop folks like her from reproducing seems like an actual social good….
Well for someone who looks as mediocre as she does and needs $18,000 in birth control every year then I guess there is something noteworthy to that accomplishment. I don’t know if that should make her ‘Person of the Year’ or not; maybe more like ‘Player of the Year’.
Go figure.
