Via Atrios:

Man of the Year
I've grown to detest all year-end lists and accolades and whatnot. They all just seem to trivialize what has already been trivialized enough.Still, in the alternative universe where I edit Time Magazine the Man of the Year is (drum roll):
The Dirty Fucking Hippie
-Atrios

On behalf of dirty fucking hippies everywhere:
I accept.

For those that don't read Atrios, this is in reference to his repeated recognition of the fact that the only people who predicted the TOTAL FUCKING FAILURE that is the Iraq war before the first boot stepped down in the sand were people me, the dirty fucking hippies who insisted it was a corrupt war being fought for oil. For our trouble we were called traitors. We were told we hated America. We were called cowards and peaceniks and red-necks gave us even more harsh glares than normal.
We were right. The rest of America was dead-ass wrong.
Hate to have to say "Far out man, we told you so." but we did.

Now, years later, time to listen up to another truth no one wants to hear.
We lost.
We cannot win.
Supporting the troops means bringing them home.
NOW.
Not soon.
Not tommorrow.
RIGHT THIS VERY SECOND.
But as usual, we hippies will be ignored. I just hope it doesn't take another 4 years for you to figure our we're right about this too. But it probably will. Morons.
