Person of the Year?

Bashar Assad, President of Syria 
Jeff Bezos, Amazon Founder
Ted Cruz, Texas Senator
Miley Cyrus, Singer
Pope Francis, Leader of the Catholic Church
Barack Obama, President of the United States
Hassan Rouhani, President of Iran
Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of Health and Human Services
Edward Snowden, N.S.A. Leaker
Edith Windsor, Gay rights activist

Althouse weighs in on the list of the finalists for Time magazine's Person of the Year.

The award has deteriorated. That's why even though I was a winner in 2006 I keep forgetting to mention it in my biography.

I'd say that Pope Francis and Jeff Bezos would be respectable choices. A few of the others would be jokes unless the award was for Incompetent of the Year. Putin should have been a contender. He was far more influential than the other political leaders on the list. 

Quick guess: They'll give it to Snowden.
