Time's Goof of the Year
Time has come out with their Person of the Year issue, and to put it bluntly, they blew it. First of all, in the case of Sherron Watkins, she didn't blow the whistle on Enron in 2002, but in 2001, making her ineligible. Second, and more important, it is patently obvious that the newsmaker of the year is George W. Bush by a country mile. He changed the policy of the US towards Iraq, he put the Dems on the defensive in Congress, and he has enough legislative, diplomatic, and military clout that in most issues, the only limitations to his policy objectives are those he puts on himself. No President has had his clout since FDR during WWII. Yet Time saw fit to give the award to these three people whose stories in the past year(except for the FBI story) were really only of minor import. So for Time's stunningly relaxed grip on reality, I give them the No Replacement For Displacement award for most Ideologically Myopic magazine of the year.

MS WILLEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN PUT ON A COVER AS A TRUE WHISTLEBLOWER WHEN SHE TOLD ON DEAR PRESIDENT CLINTON FOR HIS LIES. TIME LIKES LIES BETTER THAN THE TRUTH ANYWAY.
