TWENTY-FOUR? Once every 2 weeks? Was there no other news this year?</i> Well, considering that you've been in a compa for the last 8 years, I'll let this slide. The answer is pretty much "no", alot of attention was focused on the election. Still, 24? TWENTY-FOUR? Once every 2 weeks? Was there no other news this year?

Or the first half of it, at least, just like FDR. If he can help to pull America out of the Republican-created Depression, he’ll be the person of the 21st century.

They totally should have done more Ann Coulter covers. The bias is in the twenty four other times his picture appeared on the cover this year.

As a strange person on the internet, it is my right to demand that Barack Obama produce a gold-embossed Vault Certificates of Conception, Quickeneing, and Birth. This way we can determine if he is indeed of English-speaking national origin and therefore included in said omnibus "You" entry. Until he releases these documents, his achievement of this honor from Time Warner publishing will be forever marred by this totally legitimate scandal me and Peggy Noonan invented over cocktails in Georgetown. And Ferris, the only bias Time Magazine observes is the bias toward Making Money (something print media seems to have some trouble doing lately). If Barack Obama was the big story for the past couple weeks, then he gets the cover. They're under no obligation to throw a bone to Tom Tancredo just because.

Obama's win was as unsuprising as Phelp's win for Athlete of the Year. The bias is in the <b>twenty four</b> other times his picture appeared on the cover this year. Overkill, no?
