Welcome to the apocalypse
She’s a better choice than Obama:
Miley Cyrus Named a Finalist for Time’s Person of the Year
A couple of hackers may have conspired to have Miley Cyrus win Time magazine’s online Person of the Year vote, but the pop star is actually being considered for the magazine’s annual honor, making Time’s list of 10 finalists, it was revealed Monday morning.
Along with Cyrus, other contenders for Time’s 2013 Person of the Year are Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, Pope Francis, 2012 winner President Barack Obama, Iranian president Hassan Rouhani, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, NSA leaker Edward Snowden and gay rights activist Edith Windsor.
[…]
Still, Time’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2013 Person of the Year, revealing their choice on Wednesday’s “Today” show.
These are the same people who picked “You” for the 2006 POTY. I could be catty and say that Miley is a perfect choice because she represents the triumph of talentless celebrities in today’s culture. But that wouldn’t be true.
Miley actually does have some talent, and IMNSHO she’s a lot smarter than people give her credit for. I’m not buying her raunchy rebel public persona. She does too good a job of keeping it between the lines to really be that out of control.
That’s not to say I approve of her act, but I truly believe that it’s mostly an act. I’ll believe otherwise the first time she gets arrested or gets admitted to a hospital with a drug overdose.
Who would you pick for Time’s 2013 Person of the Year?
I agree with your assessment of Miley’s act. She reminds me of women in other generations who pretended to be dumb or helpless because that was what they thought was the way to succeed in society. Both acts annoy me.
I blame Obama, she was Hannah Montana when Bush was President 😉
When celebrities have real drug and alcohol problems the first warning sign is when their performances and public appearances get erratic – showing up late, canceling, having meltdowns on stage. The second sign is when they stop working and never show up on television shows.
Justin Beiber ? That boy is off the rails.
Accepting myiq’s assessment of Miley’s talent and intent, her “act” still troubles me b/c she seems to be mirroring the worst/darkest/vilest of today’s young women. It’s no secret girls tend to mimic ‘stars’ She has no duty to be the conscience of the nation, but ‘skank’ is hardly a look that needs approval. It can be seen for free in rough parts of almist every town.
Yep sad too. 😦
This oughta go over well in south Florida:
He’s bowing again
Of course. Two of a kind. “Birds of a feather……” and all that.
Here is the transcript along with video of Obama’s eulogy. Shockingly he doesn’t talk about himself until the very end, that must have been so hard for him.

Photos of the Obama, er, Mandela memorial ……
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2521146/Nelson-Mandela-memorial-service-World-leaders-gather-South-Africa-remember-president.html
Started an hour late ’cause Obama’s motorcade got stuck in traffic.
Seriously, an hour late? So even though his speech wasn’t all about him as he probably wanted he still found a way to make himself the center of attention.
I don’t know if this link will work but OMG scrolling through the pictures at your dailymail link there is one where you can see right up Michelle’s dress……OMG facepalm
Surrounded by their flunkies. Rice and ValJar hovering like stooges. I guess they didn’t get a seat.
LOL, it’s why I love the Daily Mail photos, they would never be approved by the WH. That guy below looks like he’s trying to catch a peek.
Always a lady /snar/
Mooch should keep her knees covered at all times.
“Look, there’s MY name.”
I must admit that I am shallow enough to covet the diamond necklace that Miley is wearing. It would look great on me!!

I may not agree with Miley about her act. so I just do not pay to see her. her choice and my choice.
but this brat, katie perry, hell would freeze over before I would spend a dime to see her. when you take backtrack over your parents , you have a big problem
Unreal! What an ungratefull little bitch. If I were her parents I’d tell to piss up a rope.
Katie married Russell Brand. In one swoop she outdid Taylor Swift.
When one races to throw oneself over the cliff, is that really “winning”?

years and years and billions and billions of dollars and nothing changes.
that is a sad and unacceptable way of life for people in this country
On the Time magazine website the Iranians had taken over and were nominating their freak Prezzie. He outsmarted Bronco as did Putin and Bashir Al-Assad. But as I recall it doesn’t have to be a person but can be a thing of the Year so I nominate Obamacare as thing of the Year for the near bankrupt Time to get a little bump in sales.
Lulu, Big Pink agrees with you:

http://therightscoop.com/obamas-two-books-have-almost-no-mention-about-mandela-or-apartheid/
when bomber billy ayers ghost wrote backtrack books he forgot Mandela and apartheid
Steve Stockman filed to run against that asshole Cornyn. It will be, um, contentious. LOL.
I always like a good food fight.

when GW was president I was a democrat so I looked at him with a jaundiced eye. Since he left office and my eyes cleared, I have gained respect for the man. Will probably never agree on some things but will say the man and his wife do have class. they put their money and their time where there mouth is

$500,000 per minute……cost of backtrack’s speech at memorial
To answer the question – The Klown for person of the year
{{embarrassed curtsy}}
From that finalist list I’d choose Edward Snowden.
I started to type up a list of why, but it comes down to worldwide impact, and some of these people are just regional impact peeps (Sebelius, Cruz, Windsor, Cyrus). I think this past year he has had the most impact worldwide.
Let it be Snowden.
HONK
Upon reflection, he’s had the most……and probably longest lasting, international impact, IMSLHO.
Pope Frank is a contender when you measure lasting, international impact.
I agree with you about the Pope, but this is probably not his year (yet). I would go either with Snowden or, as Big Pink suggested, Obamacare. (Time has done “concept” POTYs before, right?)
It’s da Pope.
Speaking of Snowden …. 😉
Wow! Are they sending aid from Bosnia?
So I guess the women on the Time list are just tokens notice how the men have actually accomplished something. Time’s attitude towards women is offensive and accounts for their decline. Miley is doing all she can to conform to the only image Corporate Music has for women. I guess they are giving her an award for mindless conformity to her corporate masters.
Most people seem to miss the fact that there is a lot of money behind Miley’s antics.
Yeah, sex still sells . I guess disgusting sex sells even more . And Miley is disgusting . I would go with Cruz or Snowden . Where is Malala Yousafzai ?
….so you’re saying she’s being pimped?
I’m saying she is playing the lead role in a very sophisticated marketing campaign.
I think she is just kissing whatever skanky male ass is directly in front of her to get gigs.
LOL !
O has a new girlfriend? Look at MO’s expressions. There’s trouble brewing.
Oh!!! goody a juicy scandal… 🙂
WTF??
😯
I don’t WTH Christie thought he was doing there, but damn that’s not right. Is this photo shopped or is it real???
exactly
This is some funny shit:
So, Obama could screw up Mandela’s funeral? You Betcha ! Toooooooo funny
Tsk, tsk! Kids these days. {{shakeshead}}
That’s pretty bad when you need the Secret Service to protect you from your wife.
Well , in that one shot , she is pulling up her sleeve . I wonder which one she was going to punch ? Him , or her ?
Pity the poor agent who has to decide between them. Which one to protect? Hmm. Which one? Hmm. Which one? Hmmmmmm.
{{headscratcher}}
I’m liking Michelle more today. How did she pull that off? I used to send my daughter to Daddyize my husband when he was getting vapid broad adoration and I was sick of it.
I’m compelled to agree with Michelle on this one. O’s behavior is rude and undignified.
Miley Cyrus is disgusting…so derivative to the point of being redundant (it’s all been done before but only better)! Just want to slap that stupid tongue right back into her mouth! She and her mommy manager must sit around all day scouring past performers to see what elements they can copy into her “act” and then call it a day. For once I agree with Paglia. Miley’s antics (because you can’t call it art) are so uninformed and dumb they are insulting to watch! Big deal she makes tons of money! But so do the Kardashians — who at least claim no talent except to have made their mark on branding and the reality show genre. If TIME chooses her for person of the year, I hope it’s for her utter cynicism and ability to foment disgust.
Sorry for my rant, but Miley Cyrus always puts me in a bad mood!
She’s not my cup of tea either. But I don’t take her seriously.
Because she’s very young, I hope for her sake she figures out what her artistic vision is. Otherwise, she may wake up one day with many regrets as she’s summarily pushed off the world’s stage by the next flavor of the month or shock-jock performer.
But a lot of young people do take her seriously , and equate her antics with “music”

http://weaselzippers.us/2013/12/10/obama-shakes-blood-stained-hand-of-mass-murderer-robert-mugabe/
the other handshake that some how got dropped from the NBC news report
Went to the doctor for my physical today. The wait times weren’t bad, however, she spent maybe ten minutes with me and most was spent typing on her computer. Didn’t really care for this ‘new’ visit as I never received any answers for my digestive problems. Will wait for test results before I make any decision about looking for a new doctor. It’s been 2 years since my last visit and if my problems and pain continue I will go to the ER where I can have tests done immediately and start treatment same day – now it will be at least 2 days before bloodwork and a week before results are read. Ugh
Hope all works out well for you, piper.
I hate waiting for test results.
I hope you feel better soon

this is so sad and so true
And we have our “official” White House photo of the day ….
It’s actually much worse IMO if Miley’s behavior is just an “act” because at least if it was actually herself she was displaying she’d have the excuse of youth, stupidity & drugs for her ridiculous behavior.

Taylor Swift is a guest on the Victoria’s Secret show coming on at 10pm
