Mitt Romney seemed ludicrously upset by Time Magazine'sPerson of the Year choice. The celebration of the nice, or the celebration of success itself (David Petraeus was Mitt's choice), is best left to political ads - Time was marking achievement, albeit of a horrible, tarnished variety.

I would love to ask the Big Faith candidate about Nick Clegg, the newly elected leader of the British political party the Liberal Democrats, who told the BBC he does not believe in God! Talk show host Glenn Beck could lead the charge and the most Christian Mormon in the world would doubtless follow.

The BBC has had some trouble with People of the Year in the past (rigged polls and eccentric results) so I am going to stay properly silent - but you?
