My choices for People of the Year.

Purely subjective choices for People of the Year:
1. Joe Lieberman--the man who gives aid and comfort to Republicans,
conservative Democrats and the health insurance lobbyists who love them.
2. Stanley McChrystal--this generation's version of the general
who once croaked "old soldiers never die, they just fade away"
and prompted President Harry Truman to remove him for defiance
regarding the Korean War; President Obama, facing a similar situation
with Afghanistan, meekly rolled over instead.
3. Lloyd Blankfein--head of Goldman Sachs, the bank
which apparently keeps Gordon Gekko's motto "greed works"
to heart.
4. Jeff Zucker--the man who has made NBC what it isn't today.
5. Oprah Winfrey--the talk-show megamogul who's moving from
syndication to ruler of her own cable network (acronym OWN)
6. Tiger Woods--from all the recent chatter, one would think
that he's the first-ever sports celeb to ever have affairs. Now
the media has shifted to wondering how much endorsement
money he stands to lose.
