Rather than celebrating Russia's Putin & America's Bush, Time Magazine should be apologizing for them.

I can see it now, Putin and Bush will share a table, the waiter will ask Putin what he is having and Putin will say the steak, then the waiter will ask about the vegetable and Putin will say the vegetable will have the steak too!

You know what Bushie,I too look forward to your meeting. Like minds should be put in pot and stirred !!!

If we're lucky we could come out with some one other than YOU !!!

Acually ,do you expect Hitler to show up and give you some more POINTERS ??????

Bush: I'm Looking Forward To Seeing Putin At The TIME Man Of Year Alumni Meeting - Where should that meeting be held?

.

Why does Putin appear much less presidential than Bush? Time people are not only ignorant (they started interviewing Putin by quoting his wrong birth-day '46 instead of '52) - they also have a bad taste..

So much for man of the year and Time`s choices, Bush , they chose one time with absolutely no reservation.

This year Putin, somehow sids stepped one of their own "Gore ", the Nobel Laureate and chose Putin instead ! Then, they could not even find a decent picture of the Russian, this one makes him look like a criminal.

ITALIAN SAYS 9-11 SOLVED

Ow, the scrubbers are getting out of control.

They just wiped out all the responses from Vogons to my defense spending thing. They weren't that unreasonable, and we were having a good discussion.

This isn't good.

On the other hand, I have a name for the scrubbers that should be familiar to anyone who ever read Stephen King.

Let's call them ... wait for it ... the Langoliers.

I didn't think such a wonderful moment should languish on a back page where only the fearful post.
My great thanks again to you all for this honor, I am humbled....

Femi vcan you spare another hanky I'm welling up?

I am proud, truly. Thank you all, it really does mean a lot to me to know that my impact is this strong on all of you.
Considering the makeup and demographics of the esteemed panel I couldn't be more pleased to be the recipient of this award.
You know what they say about aiming high.
Will there be a ceremony as well?

Holy Great Spirit! The native Americans are trying to acquire a nuclear weapon! The US must bomb them(again) to protect our friends in the Middle East.

Hey Libertarians! Here is your big chance. Are ya walkin' or talkin'?

This is a warning from TIME.

I hope somebody catches the hint.

Can't wait for Bu$h to join his fellow criminals as they rot in Hell. Of course, some might consider Crawford, Texas to BE that Hell.

Negative ghost rider, you are wrong. Don't be stupid

What Bush really meant was that he can't wait for his number to come up at the Fletcher Memorial Home:

take all your overgrown infants away somewhere
and build them a home
a little place of their own
the fletcher memorial
home for incurable tyrants and kings
and they can appear to themselves every day
on closed circuit t.v.
to make sure they're still real
it's the only connection they feel

"ladies and gentlemen, please welcome reagan and haig
mr. begin and friend
rs. thatcher and paisley
mr. brezhnev and party
the ghost of mccarthy
the memories of nixon
and now adding colour a group of anonymous latin
american meat packing glitterati"

did they expect us to treat them with any respect
they can polish their medals and sharpen their
smiles, and amuse themselves playing games for a while
boom boom, bang bang, lie down you're dead
safe in the permanent gaze of a cold glass eye
with their favourite toys
they'll be good girls and boys
in the fletcher memorial home for colonial
wasters of life and limb
is everyone in?
are you having a nice time?
now the final solution can be applied

(Pink Floyd, from "The Final Cut")
