Good Morning, Fine FReepers! It's almost next year, which means that today's almost last year. Hope you have all had a marvelous Christmas Holiday - one more week and things should return to normal. :)

Am including John Huang's Ping List to read his wonderful new essay.

Altough Bush is my top pick for US Person of the Year, but Pim Fortuyn (the murdered Dutch politician) is my Person of the Year 2002.

Good morning Billie. Here's wishing you and all a wonderful and safe new year.

[Ms. AntiFeminazi]

GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY!!!!

HAPPY MONDAY!

Two more days of 2002 left!

BILLIE!!! You're back!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you!

Did you have a good Christmas?

It's good to see everyone again and to read another of John's on-the-spot and hit-the-mark commentaries again :^)

Y'all have the cutist legs--the back pair are my favorites.

Where do you get your lashes?

[Alamo-Girl]

Thank you oh so very much for the heads up to this excellent essay!!!

Good mornng and happy years old and new to our Hostesses!

I presume all your Christmases were bright...and, bountiful!

Exceptional essay this morning, JH2...Time's refusal to face reality is sooooo transparent...it is farce, tragedy and comedy, all fit for the bottom of a bird cage.

FTH, found my special package waiting for me when I got home...deeeelightful, wow. Thank you, I mutter, humbly as I can. (Carlo3b rules!)

Our Hostesses rule.

JH2 rules.

Glad to be sitting at the corner table again...sipping coffee, reading the news...and, a fine day it is.

Time flunked (flaked?) out on their suggestions. Weaklings.

Good morning, FReeper FRiends!

JH2, fabulous piece! Time would do well to bring you on board.

[Diver Dave]

Mornin' Billie, John.

If Time had wanted to select the proper Person of the Year they should have started the search in the White House and then moved on over here to FR's Finest...

But then that would create quite a problem - how do you select one from so many great FReepers?

Atta Boy/Girl FR FReepers!

Truly excellent, John, expressing how most conservatives view this issue.
Total avoidance on the part of Time.

One has to pity the pathetic liberals, with NO real heroes to nominate - not even 'Jimmah Cahtah' could reasonably be presented as "The Man."

Afternoon, Empress..:)))

Great essay, John. Oh man, you're sooo good! Keep up the good work, my friend.
