Where's his sidekick Paulson?

wonder how many cnotes he had to print up and give to TIME to make this choice, it was clearly a PR stunt....

I just want to stay somewhere that isn't going to cost a fortune in dollars or points. If I pay dollars I want to earn points, though. I've not done an exhaustive search on properties yet. I've got the same issue in HKG. Right now I've got a reservation at the Conrad in HKG. It's not where I'd rather be (Kowloon) but I can do it all on points and get free breakfast...

It's a no-brainer that full Internet is going to be much more useful than Kiteline ... customer willingness to pay for full access is going to be the real test.

The person of the year doesn't have to be a positive figure. Just a person who had major influence on events that year which is why the above three were chosen. As for Ben Bernanke, well that seems to be a very weak choice and it seems Time has just given up.

Remember when Time was actually relevant as a publication and not just a leftist shill?

So what do you consider to be a balanced publication?

Bernake is a Republican last time I checked.

Then Hitler and Stalin make perfect sense. Khomeini still doesn't.

It could have been worse... they could have picked the representative from the People's Republic of California, Pelosi. :rolleyes:

I'm not too sure about that. He's not too forthcoming since the position is non-partisan but I believe there are things that point to him not being a Republican.

Not disagreeing. But the fact that he's registered Republican kinda trumps things that might point in a different direction. And let's not forget history, he was appointed by Bush in 05.

Which is why the USD has completely tanked against all foreign currency. Making all of our overseas ventures that much more expensive. :mad::rolleyes::mad::td:
