I'm TIME's Person of the Year?!? $w33t!

How could I not be? I use news aggregators, have a blog, have a MySpace, etc. This is the coolest thing that’s ever happened to me.

That said, I think this is the saddest POTY choice ever made by Time, and they’ll be laughed at for years because of it. I should have known when they asked Dooce* to sit in on a roundtable discussion about it that it wouldn’t have been Kim Jong Il.

This is Time Magazine’s “New Coke.”

*No, I’m not jealous of her success. I’m just think she and her obnoxious husband are incredibly self-absorbed and not as great writers as they think they are.

***
In non-bitchy news, CookieCam’ll be up at 6:00 tonight as I furiously try to catch up.

Edited to redact unnecessary meanness. I called Dooce names and it’s Christmas, after all.

    In regards to Heather. Wow, I wish I could marry someone and she could blog all day and earn money and I could stay home and do nothing like her husband. What a deal!

    Seriously, you are right. She isn’t a great writer (not that I am either) and I think LGN (and much better writing than her or myself) is much more interesting reading then her blog.

    I also think that Time needs to differentiate between Person of the Year, News Story of the Year, and Cultural Phenonmenon of the Year.

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)
