Okay, I'd just like to know how FReepers weigh in on who should adorn the cover of TIME at the end of the year, or who you think they will pick.

[CFC__VRWC]

I figure they'll make it Arafart, or else they'll make it someone or something responsible for starting the Abu Ghraib story, what they consider to be the worst atrocity ever committed in human history.

[Cowboy Bob]

Michael Moore - for his tireless efforts to help re-elect George Bush

(its a joke!)

[reg45]

ditto

[AmericaUnited]

The Marlboro Marine and all that he represents. Ditto! That'll sell a zillion magazines. But, realistically, they picked the military LAST year. I doubt they'd repeat

Ok...then... Buckhead smoking a Marlboro, with a dtermined look, as if he's about to ZOT something.

[Joann37]

Very well put. The odds he ran against were incredible, and I still can't believe he overcame them all. Of course the prayers of FReepers and everyone else helped tremendously.

[Luddite Patent Counsel]

Yeah, he triple-salkowed his wife, then dumped her into water. Unfortunately for him, the water was only 1/2" deep, and frozen...

Actually, Scott Hamilton would be a good choice, as he won one battle with cancer and is (I think) fighting yet another one right now. And, unlike Lance Crowe, he doesn't spout off about politics.

[PMCarey]

It's gonna be Karl Rove. Book it.

[Angry Republican]

Definitely.

[Angry Republican]

Did anyone else notice that Time (or maybe it was Newsweek) recognized Free Republic for questioning the Dan Rather story?

[Another Thought]

We ARE talking about Time Magazine, so you can immediately eliminate the excellent suggestions of GWB, Karl Rove, The Marlboro Man, the New Media, Mel Gibson, etc. And the Swiftboat Vets don't even exist, do they?
Arafat or Michael Moore are the most likely possibilities (or George Soros, of course). Don't rule out Bill Clinton, coming off his heart surgery and opening of his "library."

[zook]

Without question, Arnold Stang!

[nfldgirl]

President Bush! Hands-down!

[Mongeaux]

sponge bob squarepants

[Blue Screen of Death]

Swift Boat Vets.

Add my vote to that!

[SussexCountyDE]

Sid mentioned him on Imus last week.

[Miss Behave]

I have to also go with Iraqi Prime Minister Allawi. And it royally CHAPS MY HIDE every time I think about Rice Butt dissing him and accusing him of being President Bush's "yes man."

ARRRGGGG. Have to calm down.

[ExDemSince92]

Felonious Triple Axel.
He's a bad bad bad man.

[Military family member]

Scott Peterson, not Hamilton. Scotty Hamilton is a professional Ice skater

[Military family member]

NOT SCOTT HAMILTON,

It's Scott Peterson.

Hamilton is an ice skater and former Olympic champion

[Military family member]

I don't believe Arafat will be it. He really didn't do anything this year, but die. By the Time the nominations come around, Arafat will be forgotten.

Bush has a real shot at it, and deserves it.

I think it will go to the Bloggers and other online forums such as Free Republic, because of their impact on the elections.

If anything has changed the world in the past year, certainly they have.
