Joespeh Stalin and Ben Bernanke: Both Man of the year

Sometimes, a picture really does speak a thousand words....
He's in good company, eh?  

[Father Brown]

Yes and no.

Man of the Year, used to be simply given to the man who was most newsworthy in a given year. Now it has been reduced to a person who can be said to be newsworthy and be well liked. Or one who the editors and owners of Time-Life, Inc. feel the need to promote.

The last bad guy I saw to be given this title was the Ayatollah Komeni after the hostage seizure. This caused an uproar by those who did not like him. Since then, it has been given to the politically correct or those who need a little promoting IMHO.

Yes I agree. However, I read a copy of the Time magazine with Stalin. For the most part it was a glowing account of communism under Stalin - no homeless, everyone has jobs, ect, ect.

The propaganda just goes on and on.....

A communist and  murderer of people and head of the FED and murderer of an economy. Both zionist creations. Go figure.
