Time's Person of the Year
The end of the year brings speculation as to whom Time will pick as it's Person of the Year, although I remember with a nostalgic tear with it was Man of the Year. Often it's very difficult to guess, but I can't think of a year when it's been easier. The part I like about the process is that every year, Time has to explain patiently that the nominee is the person who, for better or worse, has done more to influence the news. Still, that will do nothing to dispel the inevitable criticisms that the selection of Barack Obama is further evidence of the librull media.
Runners up may include Paulson, Bernanke and MikeWaters, but I can't imagine anyone coming close to the President-elect. |

One true factoid....on my resume, under personal, I have listed "Time Magazine's Person of the Year - 2006." I havent looked for a job yet, but if I do, I hope someone asks me about it.

I will cease to watch news, except for financial news. Or really important stuff, such as sports, why Nick isn't the one, and who won Dancing with the Stars.

I love Person of the Year because the U.S. always kicks ass in that event.

The personal section is completely ridiculous anyway. Do employers really care that you like to read books and play basketball? I remember when Wheel of Fortune finally changed its format for the Bonus Round....given that everyone always picked the same exact letters every game, the producers decided to just spot everyone those same letters and allow them to choose a few extra ones. Now, everyone gets R, S, T, N, L, and E. I think personal interests are the same....everyone puts the exact same ones....ski, travel, sports, movies, books......yawn. Why not spice it up with something interesting......"espionage," "beef jerkey," or "breakdancing."

Based off your LSAT and what I would anticipate your GPA to be, you could put that you were Time's 1938 Man of the Year and still get callbacks at a lot of top schools.
