People of the Year

I'm not sure if I did this last year. If so, this is my second annual People of the Year announcement. I think I did. I believe I had Vladimir Putin as person of the year and Jim Parsons as entertainer of the year.

Person of the Year - I think I'm going with Donald Trump. He's in the news all the time. Either he is saying something or someone is talking about something he said.

I just looked online at Time's list of nominees.

Abu Bakr Albaghdadi - An Isis guy. Not actually a bad choice, but the person of the year really should be someone I've heard of or that I can at least pronounce his name.

Black Lives Matter Activists - Black lives matter, but I can do without their activists. No.

Caitlyn Jenner - Good Lord!

Travis Kalanick, CEO of Uber - Let's get serious.

Angela Merkel, Head of Germany - For doing what? No.

Vladamir Putin - Sorry, you're a year late. Should have had him last year. He was invading places and mixing it up. He's been coasting lately.

Hassan Rouhani, Head of Iran - Unpronounceable and maybe if this was the 1980's, but its not.

Donald Trump - There you go. Also, how is the president of the U.S. not on your short list?

I was going to pick my highly anticipated entertainer and sportsperson of the year, but I'll do that next time.
