Bernanke is Time's person of the year
Time's person of the year is Ben Bernanke. It doesn't mean much, except that a few editors figured sitting in a room decided they could try to steer history and sell magazines by putting him on the cover. But already the blogosphere is unhappy with another example of kowtowing to power by mainstream media!
And yes, in response to the Time announcement, Godwin's Law violations are already being committed across the Web.

I hear if you have a car with a bad automatic transmission you can pour sawdust in the fluid reservoir to get it to work a little longer.
It should be noted that the banks are repaying their bailout money by borrowing from the public at 0% and then loaning right back to that same public at 3-4%.

Ben Bernanke, Chairman of the Federal Reserve, is a Baby Boomer. He’s 55, born December, 1953, in Georgia. Biographical Tidbit: Bernanke grew up in small-town Dillon, South Carolina, where his Mom was a schoolteacher, and his Dad and uncle managed the local pharmacy. During breaks from high school and college, Bernanke waited tables at South of the Border, a popular roadside attraction.
