And The Time Readers' Choice For Person Of The Year Is...
Earlier we presented the person that Time's editors thought is worthy of the title "Person of the Year" 2012. Below, we show a slightly different version of utopic leaders, this time showcasing the person of the year however as elected by Time's readers (and yes, we were just as shocked there are any left). And the winner is...

Boehner Won't Get a Deal Because Obama Wants To Go Over the Cliff
Obama is not interested in avoiding the fiscal cliff. As I have written before, going over the cliff gives him everything he wants: higher taxes, deep cuts in defense spending, and the ability to position himself next year as a tax cutter. More than chalking up a win for the American economy he wants to bring the Republicans to their knees.

Moving the deck chairs one foot toward to the aft of the ship isn't going to counteract the fact the ship was steered into an iceberg. The captian is going down with the ship no matter how long the band plays.
Time Person of the Year is about as meaningless as a Nobel Peace Prize. Although they probably look nice sitting there on the mantel side by side.
Time Magazine? I don't know anyone under the age of 70 who still reads it.
a staple at the dentists office
reading it makes dental work more pleasant
" The captian is going down with the ship no matter how long the band plays."
NO, This criminal manchurian captain just LOVES to go "down". Period...
Obama in the company of Hitler and Stalin. Who says history doesn't repeat? Peas in a pod.
Sweet peas, of course.
FORWARD SOVIET!
Good. It's a screwed if we do, screwed if we don't. The faster this collapses, the sooner we can all get on with our lives in a couple of years.
I think going over the fiscal cliff is pretty unlikely, gven that it's just one more aspect of the con, however, why would going over it be a bad thing? It's all smoke and mirrors, anyway. +1
Dear Mr Corzine -
Congratulations on being chosen Time's Man of the Year.
- The Editors
Bet he feels pretty stupid now about provoking a revolt in the GOP ranks in order to compromise with Obama. Let the record show I called it spot on as it was unfolding.
His strategy is to let us "go over the cliff", then reverse the taxes on anyone he wants (under $250K, $400K) by Executive Order.
“Diet, injections, and injunctions will combine, from a very early age, to produce the sort of character and the sort of beliefs that the authorities consider desirable, and any serious criticism of the powers that be will become psychologically impossible. Even if all are miserable, all will believe themselves happy, because the government will tell them that they are so.” Bertrand Russell – The Impact of Science on Society – p62
People are too stupid to resist at this point, and all of us that got through the indoctrination unscathed, will be rounded up and put in re-education camps.
Well, dear comrade, I think it is time for you to be reprogrammed. Big Brother doesn't like dissidents.
Increased chocolate rations!!!
YAY!
i loves me some big bro...
I guess I was late to the proverbial party, but when I saw people carrying signs demonizing the NRA for the CT shootings, I thought, "it's too late. People are so stupid, this country is just fucked."
I'm not sure what to call the perversion we now live in, but I wouldn't call it "America," at all...
Great quote, and exactly in line with one of the better ZH posts ever: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2012-12-17/hey-you
Spread the link if you haven't already!
are these covers for real???
Yes. Except for Kim Jong Claus.
First one is real too...
One year ~ YOU ~ was the [POY]... So that's francis_sayer in the 3rd row 3 from the left... [future's so bright I gotta wear shades]...
What does, Ho Ho Ho, mean in Korean ?
"I'm amused at asking a prostitute to do some gardening"
It's.... "Ho...Ho...Ho-Ho... Hoppa Gangnam Style..."
They must have a rule to nominate each president at least once - how else can you explain DubYa, Nixon (twice) and Clinton (twice).
They don't show much imagination. Well, not until 2010 when Zuckerberg won it.
Just goes to show that not all imagination is a good thing.
It'll never work; it's not round. (your avatar).
That's amazing; they certainly have an odd point of view on things.
'Nuff said. Did any of those guys receive peace prizes?
Didn't you receive yours in the mail? I thought everyone got one now, all based on the committee's new criteria - doing nothing.
I nominate Slewie the Pi-rat.
What about his wife?... After all... Chiang Kai-shek's wife got to share the prize...
Kim Jong-un was a 4chan joke, Tyler.
Time seems to have left him in despite the 4Chan manipulation, which just points to the size of the overall farce.
And poor Satan, still just dying to get into the club.
At least he has the Rolling Stones.
The thought of having to share my drugs with Keith Richards is the only thing keeping that fucker alive.
I'm sort of hoping we can at least get a good running start before we go over the clif.
The "Thelma and Louise" theory of national finance?
why is he so pudgy and the rest of the country nothing but skin and bones?
Because, just like his father, he never "uses the restroom."
Dont you have to win a Nobel peace prize first to qualify for such an honor?
You forgot about kissinger, he should be up there with the rest of the psychopaths.
Tyler, you did not mention 4Chan's role in all this...
So when is ZH going to have a troll of the year?
Bernanke gets enough awards.
But he does not post here...
Oh well then you're a lock.
Maybe you could write a litle diddy about FLAK for Festivus... (But be careful of copyright infringement ~ Springsteen already published "Blinded by the Light")...
Flak is too old for a song, there is no way I am reading 7775 posts looking for gems. I did that for Trav and Robo and nearly lost my mind.
Naw, try "Gimme Back my Bullets" by Skynard...
I don't do covers.
If you wan't to go Skynrd... "What's Your Name" or "Oooh That Smell" would, more suitably, fit the bill...
I would think that for you the following from King Crimson would fit

Confusion will be *your* Epitaph....
The ADL does it for him. Perception must be managed.
Your answer was disingenuous.

This was very much brought to you by 4chan.
I also liked when they in an online poll decided "Hitler did nothing wrong" should be Mountain Dew's new flavour:

Sort of a "Dew the Jew"?
.
Should put a picture of him droning some innocent paki's on the cover. Oh...wait.... those were insurgents
Maybe they were waiting to board a bus...
http://www.thestar.com/news/world/article/1304366--outrage-over-hours-long-gang-rape-on-bus-sparks-protests-across-india
Good grief. I thought Indians were more civilivzed than that. That's pretty awful.
What about the you/we/us shiny mirror cover? Surely WE deserve(d) to be Person of the Year. I mean, after all, if it weren't for us all this screwing by the other indivual Person's of The Year would not be possible. In fact we ought to ALWAYS be the Person(s) of the Year. OK, maybe just the muppets of us...but still.
In other news it is reported that there is a three way tie between V.P. Joe Biden, Nazi Pelosi, and Elena Kagan for the coveted 'You must have confused me with someone who gives a shit about the Constitution' award.
The London Whale is my POTY.
should be The Fiscal Cliff Huxtable: The Doctor, errr, Budget That Doesn't Work
Is Kruschev really evil enough to belong in that group? The others I can see -but Kruschev? Just because he's a communist?
Another thing - Bernake is still in power -there is still a chance -albeit a very slight one -that he will stop being evil and stop trying to destroy the country. Granted there is a better chance of looking up in the sky and seeing a herd of cows fly by -but miravles do happen.

The shoe
I am an ardent anti-communist, however, Kruschev had some balls. He was the political officer (commissar) responsible for Stalingrad during the Battle of Stalingrad, during the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet People.
Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you!
Nikita Khrushchev
I once said, "We will bury you," and I got into trouble with it. Of course we will not bury you with a shovel. Your own working class will bury you.
Nikita Khrushchev
Support by United States rulers is rather in the nature of the support that the rope gives to a hanged man.
Nikita Khrushchev
Sadly, he was right in some ways.
So, communism, workable only by totalitarian rule, is not evil?
See, I am right again, SLIME always has and always will honor tyrants.
OMFG
Wizard of oz ought be in there
One doesn’t recall Pravda ever selecting a man of the year, but it would not have been Solzhenitsyn. It would have been the current tyrant in the Kremlin. Time Magazine’s tyrant, however, is merely a representative of America’s tyrants; and these tyrants not only can pull Obama’s chain whenever they want, they can pull the media’s chain as well.
Much of America’s catastrophic dilemma is due to a controlled media…and, yes, controlled is the operative word. For when Time Magazine and all the rest carry only that information which supports the tyrants, then there’s no other word than control.
Dr. Kent’s Blog likened what’s going on in the USA with Lenin’s Decalogue Manual to Seize Control of a Society “which he used in the 1917 Russian Re-Revolution (The October Surprise) usurping control from the original Russian Revolution which occurred earlier in the spring of that year”:

The next "Man of the Year" (or Decepticratic candidate in 2016, take yer pick)
How many confirmed kills are required to get your picture on the cover of Time?
How many kills does Obama have under his belt?
Only brown children count in that confirmed kill tally. But only if you can piece together the bits of sauerkraut after a hell-fire missile attack to actually prove there was a group of children there to begin with, plus NO crocodile tears required .
Any truth to the rumor that Mr. Obama has also been nominated for a Golden Globe and Oscar for his seemingly gravity defying tearful display while discussing the tragedy in Newtown.
Let's see, a Noble Peace Prize just about 4 years ago. Then this year the EU wins the prize. Now this. The Oscar rumor has to be true. You can't make this shit up.
Why didn't he show that Time chose Hitler as their 1937 "Man of the Year"? That is really all you need to know about the man and the magazine to understand where they stand on ANY issue.
What's the problem ? Hitler probably deserved to be "Man of the Year" 1938 - EVERYONE talks about him and hardly anyone mention Stalin......how many schoolchildren know of anyone except Adolf Hitler - he is a Superman - EVERYONE on the planet knows about him and noone seems to know about Stalin or Khrushchev 1957 or General Westmoreland 1965.
What is a magazine? irrelevant media format.
Some Magazines never go out of fashion
