Vlad Putin Makes Time’s ‘Person of the Year’

Why does Vladimir Putin deserve to be named Person of the Year? Probably because of his insightful commentary on Call of Duty 4.

Quoting from Time Magazine, the Quintura blog provides a more intuitive reason, if “imposing stability on a nation […] at significant cost to the principles and ideas that free nations prize” can be considered more intuitive. (We’d call it “catty.”)

Some might call it an improvement on last year’s choice, though.
