Time magazine wanted to name Osama bin Laden as man of the year for 2001. Their judgment just sucks.

I'll point out the obvious violation of no link being provided in a breaking news thread. But I am not a mod, so this is the best I can do....

They merely name the person who had the most impact, whether it be good or bad. | |
