Well, Time Magazine has named Ben Bernake the person of the year:
The story of the year was a weak economy that could have been much, much weaker. Thank the man who runs the Federal Reserve, our mild-mannered economic overlord…
Yes, they literally called him “our mild-mannered economic overlord.” And that is a good thing. If it wasn’t for him, it would have been much, much worse. Uh huh. You mean worse, like the people would revolt and throw off this sham of a government that is doing its damnedest to consolidate wealth and power into the hands of the few, while squeezing every last penny from it’s poor and middle class? Yeah, thankfully it didn’t come to that…

they got the overlord part right.
Good Housekeeping will name Tiger Woods as “Husband of the Year” this Friday. Take that Time!
“Hitler was man of the year too”.
…to me. Just so long as you make a good point, and you do. Thanks and welcome here!
We can all thank him for his wars, torture, and tax cuts for the rich, who obviously deserved to be rewarded for their unrelenting persecution of the poor and the powerless.
Welcome to DD, atheistben.
We hang here because this place is reality based, civil, and we are all trying to figure out how to cope and/or change our corrupt government.
