    Putin and Kerry in the top two? We're all going to die from other people's stupidity.

    With that said, is it wrong that I like Putin more than Kerry?
    Dishonest money makes for dishonest people.

    Andrew Napolitano, John Stossel. FOX News Liberty Infiltrators.

    Nope. I like Putin more than Kerry, too - waaay more.

    Putin may be a goon - like virtually all heads of state - but at least he doesn't appear to be a goon hell-bent on Total World Domination (US pat. pend.).

    If I were choosing a "Man of the Year," it would be Putin on the strength of his Valdai speech alone ... (sorry, Rand ...)

    No, that's perfectly reasonable.

    Rand can't be their pick for 2014, 2015 and 2016 and I'm thinking it would be better for him to have it in '15 or '16.....but it is good to get him some votes to get up there close.

    Ferguson protesters lead TIME’s Person of the Year poll

    While readers might enjoy throwing in their two cents, it will be TIME’s editors, and not the readers, who ultimately pick the Person of the Year.

    I honestly believe that the most influential person in the world right now is Vladimir Putin. His actions are shaking the ground everywhere.

    The short list:

    Time editors have narrowed their list down to the eight individuals below and will reveal their selection for the 2014 Person of the Year on TODAY on Wednesday. The candidates are, in no significant order, as follows:

    The Ebola caregivers, who are currently fighting the biggest Ebola outbreak in history.

    Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, who gained attention for his staging of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, as well as for his nation's controversial conduct in Ukraine.

    The Ferguson protesters, who contested the death of unarmed 18-year-old Michael Brown, who was shot by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri.

    Taylor Swift, the world's best-selling pop star, above the likes of Beyoncé, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga. Swift decided to pull her music from Spotify, contending that the service needs to pay artists more for their material.

    Tim Cook, the CEO of tech giant Apple, who stepped out of Steve Jobs' shadow with the announcement of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, Apple Watch and Apple Pay. Cook also came out in 2014, making him the first openly gay Fortune 500 CEO.

    Roger Goodell, the commissioner of the NFL, which has been plagued by scandal in 2014. From domestic violence concerns and the Ray Rice case, to serious fears over head injuries, Goodell and his multi-billion dollar league are at a crossroads.

    Masoud Barzani, the Kurdish politician who has led the Iraqi Kurdistan Region since 2005. Barzani has been weighing the possibility of independence for the Kurds, all while fighting ISIS.

    Jack Ma, the founder and CEO of the Alibaba Group, which debuted on the New York Stock Exchange as the biggest tech IPO in history.

    The winner is....

    Time magazine has selected the Ebola fighters, who have fought to contain the deadliest Ebola outbreak in history, as its 2014 Person of the Year.

    The title, according to the magazine, goes to an individual or group who, for better or worse, has had the biggest impact on the world and the news over the course of the previous year.

    "It’s an incredible honor," Dr. Kent Brantly, medical missions advisor for Samaritan's Purse and the first American to be affected with the virus, said Wednesday on TODAY of the shared title.

    "Those who paid the highest price for their service are themselves West Africans. It’s an honor for me to be considered as a part of that group."

    ...

    On Wednesday, Time revealed multiple versions of the cover on TODAY — each highlighting a different Ebola fighter to represent the group. Among those featured on the covers: Ebola survivor Dr. Kent Brantly, Dr. Jerry Brown, nurse aide and survivor Salome Karwah, MSF volunteer health promoter Ella Watson-Stryker, and ambulance team supervisor and survivor Foday Galla. The issues will newsstands Friday.
