TIME person of the Year 2007

Michael D at Balloon Juice is right.

I'd prefer TIME choose the person of the year who made the most positive impact, but they don't solicit my opinion. Never have. Never will.

You knew this would happen. I find it amusing that people don’t realize that Time’s Person of the Year has never been about rewarding people. It’s always been about recognizing impact.

Gore was many lefties' choice. But even Al feels he's failed.

But it's hard to celebrate recognition of an effort that has thus far failed, and I'm not finished yet, but thus far, I have failed.
