are one of the People of the Year.

I vaguely recall some list posted here along the lines of a 100 Worst People that had You listed in the top 5. I've been trying to find that list, but to no avail yet. Anyone recall that?

50 Most Loathsome People ...and guess what? YOU SUCK TOO.


3. You
Crimes: You gaze idly at the carnage around you, sigh, and go calmly back to your coffee and your People magazine. You can’t stop buying useless crap, though you’re drowning in a deepening pool of debt. You think you’re an activist because you bitch all day on the internet, but you reelect the same gangsters at a 99% rate. You consider yourself informed because you waste a significant portion of your life watching the same three news stories cycle over and over again on your gargantuan, aerodynamic television set while you eat processed food. You really thought everything would be okay if Kerry won. Not only do you believe in an invisible man who magically farted out the universe, you also excoriate and marginalize those who disagree. You have a poorer understanding of your country’s foreign policy history than a third world peasant, but you can’t wait to see what Julia Roberts will be wearing at the Oscars. You cheer as Ukrainians challenge an election based on exit poll data, but keep waiting around for someone else to fix your problems. You can’t think, you can’t organize and you won’t act. This is all your fault.

Smoking Gun: You’re fat.

Punishment: You’re soaking in it.


Read this list and laugh out loud at work!

Thank you very much B. "Loathsome" was the word I should have searched for.

Here's the thread that featured our commentary on the past two years--it'll be interesting to see where You ranks on this list for this upcoming January.

Tell me about it. Next thing you know they'll be putting Bono up for man of the year because of LiveAid.

Oh wait...

The Rude Pundit Is Time's Person of the Year:


Of course, he has to share the honor with every Johnny Knoxville-wannabe racking his nuts on YouTube, every Dateline-baiting sexual predator on MySpace, and that horrible Atlas Shrugs chick.

But still, and all, it's nice to be recognized.
