Whether or not the green aspirations of regular Iranian citizens will be met, to me they have helped resurrect the identity of a nation, or at the very least, repaint it in a different hue.

Sunday Roundup

Read More: Ben Bernanke, Time Magazine, Lobbyists, Time Magazine Person of the Year 2009, Politics News

This week, Time named Fed chair Ben Bernanke its Person of the Year. The magazine says its choice is "not an award," but rather a recognition of the person who "most influenced the news during the past year -- for good or for ill." Based on that criterion, Time should, without a doubt, have picked Washington lobbyists -- because no person or group was more influential in 2009. After an inspiring presidential campaign that promised to take on the special interests, the lobbyists flexed their muscles (and their wallets) and showed who really runs the show in DC. Lobbyists carried the day on health insurance reform, banking reform, financial reform, drug pricing, cramdown legislation, and credit card interest rates, to name just a few. And every time they won, the American people lost. It's Time for a reshoot. The Lobbyists: The Real Persons of the Year.

Time Magazine Overlooks Google Founders Again

If you take just 30 seconds to consider all the ways Google, for "good or ill,'' has embraced our daily lives, maybe then you will appreciate my confusion of how the editors of Time magazine continue to overlook, year after year, Google.
