You're right, he forgot Tim Tebow.
The fag who runs /b/?
Well... you could argue that every fag who posts on /b/ runs it, in a way.
So yes. There are thousands of fags that run /b/

The problem with this isn't the choice itself, but the fact that it's going to feel like a pat on the back to a lot of brainless fools like a MISSION ACCOMPLISHED banner and act as their permission to go home, basking in the pride of a(n imaginary) job well done.
A brilliant move by the establishment to get these guys off the street.

My verizon homepage had a "Where's Jessica Lynch now?" and I thought it was relevant to this thread: who gives a fuck? I have always wondered why there was such a fuss over her, why she got the front page and everything - wouldn't it make more sense to give her rescuers the glory? So she's a hero for getting captured and then rescued?
It's always revolted me how the media gave her the spotlight on that. If it had been an older male in the same situation we'd probably get a blurb in the paper and nothing more.

Very perceptive and I agree.
And while OWS was all over the news, there was a complete media blackout over the senate quietly wiping their asses with the constitution and laying down a foundation that future dictatorships can be built on.

tell me about it.
No to the people I mentioned? (Philbin is obviously a joke)
No to the fact that there are so many other choices?

Occupy Wall St. maybe but the Arab Spring and the overthrow of three North African governments by their people is hardly a "fad."
Recall that two governments were overthrown through protest alone.
There were Massive protests also in Bahrain until the Saudi's rolled in and crushed them while the US looked the other way due to our military interests there (the fact that we did nothing was in effect support for crushing the opposition.)
People are still dying every day in Syria protesting against the regime. It's the same in Yemen (our "ally".) But you may have missed that when the news was clogged with European Sovereign Debt stories and our own "Occupy" protest. While our protestors battled police the Syrians were being murdered by their own government and the US was rejecting due process and conducting extrajudicial murders on American citizens in Yemen.
To say the "protestor" shouldn't even be considered as the person of the year, when you look at the dramatic shift in politics all over the world caused by protest, is absurd. Protestors have died demanding change all across the Middle East.
The Occupy movement wishes it had the force of the Arab Spring.

You're so dumb 'Duf! Protesting does nothing. Kid is totally right. Just lie down and take it, that's the way to be.

Even Duf agreed with Kid with the first four words in his post.

You're welcome, ninny. I know you have trouble with long posts and gray areas. Hopefully, pointing out these 2 key moments of lagduf's post helped clear what he was saying up for you.
