No suspense

Time has named Barack Obama Person of the Year. Yawn. They don't even try to explain why. They don't have to.

Obama's not just head and shoulders above the competition. He's legs, torso, head, and shoulders higher. They're all ankle-biters compared to him and his epoch-making impact. Henry Paulson? Seriously?

Some years you just have to go with the story that's a two-by-four between the eyes. To do otherwise would identify you as a perverse dolt.
