Also, for a blast from the past (ht Krugman from NYTimes), read Time’s double portrait of Cyndi Lauper and Madonna that picks Lauper to be around for the long haul.
“[Cyndi] has the whole package. But Madonna has the look.”

Here's an interesting post from another blog concerning the Time – Person of the Year – Kiss of death.

Thanks for that Austin.
See the long list of Time winner's: Jeff Bezos before the Internet bust, Nixon and Kissinger in 1972, and then in 2006 it was "You!".
A good quote from Mish's blog-
"Most worrisome however, in 2006 Time decided to write on its person-of-the-year cover 'You!'"
Indeed what a warning: "You!" In retrospect it should have been perfectly clear. Boomers were heading into retirement, flush with cash, jobs plentiful, feelin' good … well you know the rest.
