man of the year
so time just voted George W as person of 2004 . You gotta hand it to W, he really made a killing... first the elections, then man of the year, next he'll be taking us to the moon.
i admire W not for any of that religious posturing or ordinary-guy air he carries... i admire him because he won. He won and in the end that's what counts. who cares if he is a guy that says he is a christian and looks the other way when people bear false witness against his opponent, or that he appears more infallible than the one he admires most, or that everyone knows his handling of Iraq, the middle east, and more important to me, African issues or the non-extistence thereof, is so abysmal... in the end he won.
For our meagre lifetime on this planet and as long as our generation lives, that might be the verdict. History on the other hand is no respector of persons. When history is done, then will we know how Time's person of the year 2004, ranks with yesteryear's persons of the year. Congrats Mr. President!
