AP covers here. Time’s cover story best sums up their reasoning for choosing us for the award this way:
…for seizing the reins of the global media, for founding and framing the new digital democracy, for working for nothing and beating the pros at their own game, TIME’s Person of the Year for 2006 is [The BRAD BLOG].
Thank you, Time. We are humbly honored to accept this prestigious award.
Working for nothing…AND LOVIN’ IT!!! (Get Smart)
When do you think they’ll shut down the internet(s)?
I wonder if TIME thinks that’s a good or bad thing!
Congratulations Brad. You deserve it!!!
You’ve worked so hard to get the facts out, where mainstream media has failed us miserably.
You and all the other progressive bloggers out there are our only hope of saving this democracy.
Thanks,

Time must have turned over a new leaf. 😉
Congratulations Brad! It’s nice to see all your hard work recognized. Now let’s press on, and drive a stake through the slimy, corrupt heart of the beast that is this “administration” before it manages to slither away! Thank you for your profound commitment.
🙂
hey, YOU — and i mean YOU! — don’t forget to give yourself a pat on the back for being Person of the Year, for ‘seizing the reins of the global media’ and ‘beating the pros at their own game’!
Two things:
If you can read this, thank a TEACHER.
Secondly, for being allowed to read this, thank a VETERAN.
These two groups of selfless Americans are the foundation and the support structure for all of the freedoms we have.
And if you are a teacher or a veteran… may God bless you and keep you and your loved ones. Thank you for the work you have done and continue to do to make this country great.
Lastly, congratulations to all of you — and that means YOU, too — for the work you’ve been doing and will continue to do in the new year.
YOU truly deserve this recognition as Person of the Year!
Very clever.
Wish I’d thought to do that!
Only one thing, Brad: bloggers don’t read the mainstream media. I was having some work done on my car the other day and saw the magazines on the table in the customer waiting area–Field and Stream, Entertainment, Redbook, and uh–Time. Oh yeah, there was a WatchTower too. Let’s just say I did not so much as glance at Time–haven’t in about 7 years.
But you certainly deserve recognition for doing good work and building a keen-eyed following.
I’m going to pat myself . . . . . but not on the back 🙂 (-: . . .
JOJ: LOL!
WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON
Is anybody else in the country seeing this. MSNBC looks terrible lately. All day yesterday, it looked like it was being broadcast over an extremely bad internet connection, (even the commercials). It literally looked like an MPEG video blown up from a resolution of 320X200.
All the other stations were just fine including FOX and CNN which are on either side of MSNBC. I have Comcast cable because I am not allowed to have satellite at my condominium. Was Comcast making sure Keith Olberman looked horrible the night he was reshowing the special comments. Comcast was found to be blocking E-mails that it didn’t want sent, so this isn’t so far out there.
good work, Brad–but ‘ewe’ left someone else out!

Wow, I totally missed this, must have been getting ready for Christmas. Congratulations, you sure deserve the recognition, Brad.
If we somehow overcome the voting corruption in time to save the 2008 election, you will deserve the Nobel Peace Prize. No shit.
Thank you for your tireless work and dedication.
