i dunno, the dude from Time said on Drudge's radio show last night that the weather was such a major issue in 2005 and that charity giving was a huge part of that story.
I dunno, I couldn't really think of who'd have been better for Person of the Year. Maybe it shoulda been Ahmednejad? Rafic Hariri? Chavez?

I have always wondered if Bono was conceived during a rerun of the Sonny and Cher show and was just too embarrassed to call himself Sonny.
What was wrong with Paul David Hewson as a name, anyway?
Sorry, I couldn't resist as I find single-named performers almost as fatuous as athletes who refer to themselves in the third person.
