Remember the OWS protestor, Justin Wedes, who along with his sanity-challenged companion, Ketchup, was featured on the Colbert Report as a spokesman for the Occupy Wall Street movement? Camera hog Wedes was notable for his massive self-righteous chip on the shoulder which caused him to give "down twinkles" to what he claimed as the moral failings of the "One Percent."

Well, down twinkles to Wedes himself who has been exposed in the New York Post as a scam artist forger who tried to cheat the taxpayers out of nearly $5000 for a government grant despite the fact that his "One Percent" family from the plush Michigan neighborhood of Huntington Woods could easily afford to just give him that money:

Will Justin be shamed into changing his name to "Mustard?" And what happened to his sanity-challenged "female-bodied" girlfriend, Ketchup?

According to Breitbart, the protester of the year on the cover of time is also the mother of the year who parked her 4 year old daughter on the train tracks as part of their attempt to shut down the ports.

Well! Our friends in the media were right, after all, that nothing good could ever come out of the Tea Party!

Oh, wait...

So, since TIME named “The Protester” as person-of-the-year, doesnt’ that mean that the’ve really chosen “Scam Artist-Forger”? It fits!

Time who? Time what? They are irrelevant. At one point in history somebody actual read their magazine in a Dentists waiting room. Now the mostly fill up recycle bins. I haven't opened a Time Magazine in at least a decade..and I do read a lot of news.

“Time”, the ever-shrinking Leftist rag, didn’t print one word or one picture of the Tea Party rallies in 2009-2010, when millions of U.S. citizens with jobs and families and personal hygiene were involved in the fight against our oppressive federal government.

Now when a paltry few smelly, homeless, jobless riffraff gathers to become a public nuisance as they beg for more freebies, “Time” includes them as Person of the Year.

No wonder no thinking person subscribes to this relic of the ‘60s.

It's an ancient artifact from the 60's . It was a big deal then. We got it at home and I remember a lot of the covers. Boris Artzybasheff did a lot of them, although I never heard of him until he appeared on the cover, I guess when he died in 1965, done after his own style. A Google image search shows a lot of his covers, but not the one of him, AFAICS.
