Time 2011 Person of the Year: The Protester
I think this was a great choice- how about you? Could there really have been any other?
We have seen popular uprisings across the globe- from Tunisia to my own state capitol (Hartford). This year it seemed like every one finally got the opportunity to speak out and make a change.

while I consciously ignore all GOP candidates and hoopla until someone is officially nominated. I JUST CAN’T TAKE IT ANY LONGER.

really played a power move with the scheduling of his address.
Not to mention… he is the commander in chief, and those silly GOP debaters are merely contenders for the privilege of running against him.

Allegations against former IMF director Dominique Strauss-Kahn have been thrown out this morning. Citing the lack of credibility with Nafissatou Diallo, the hotel worker who accused Strauss-Kahn of sexual assault, prosecutors deemed there was insufficient evidence and reason to proceed with the trial.
