Our Man Of The Year 2022

Well, it was almost Elon Musk.  We mean the man who bought Twitter and announced.  "This is a battle for the future of civilization.  If free speech is lost even in America, tyranny is all that lies ahead."  

But then we looked at the numbers.  77.8 million Americans are on Twitter and like wow!  But that also means that 252.2 million Americans are not.  A further look at the numbers reveals that only 45 million of those tweeters use Twitter on a daily basis.  That means 285 million Americans or 86% of the population, do not.  This means that most Americans never, even look at it.  So, if your tweet got banned, as one of ours was, odds were, no one was going to see it anyway.  Boo hoo babies.

Of course Elon also has space ships and rockets but so far they've only gone up and down.  They haven't gone, where no one has gone before.  They haven't gone anywhere at all.  Except up and down.  Of course he has his electric cars but only the rich can afford them.  So, sorry Elon, not this year.  But maybe next year.

And, that brings us to the guy above.  The Man Who Would Be King.  We mean, he has been the Man Who Would Be King for decades and now, he is King Charles the III.  He got over being dumped by Princess Di and skewered by all her followers in and out of the Mass Hysteria, for quite a few decades.  Then he got to marry the woman he loved and unlike the other guy who tried that, he got the Crown too.  Also, somewhere along the way he lost that nerdy, doofus looking persona he used to have and now, he looks distinguished.  Maybe it's the white hair or maybe the guy just added some character along the way.  Some people do.  Either way, as you can plainly see, if anyone ever looked like a King, it's this guy.  

So, here's to our 2022 Man Of The Year, King Charles III.  Long live the King.

Runner ups were Amy Schneider Jeopardy Champion of Champions, who would have been our Woman Of The Year or Transgendered Woman Of The year, whichever she preferred.  Great Thunberg who would have been our Kid Of The Year.  Then it was a toss up between Amber Heard, Kanye West and whole bunch of  people who got fired over there at CNN, all of whom shed a river of tears.  If any one of them had been picked, they would have been our Cry Baby Of The Year.

But cheer up also rans and everyone else too.  As, they used to say in Brooklyn for their beloved Dodgers and now they say it up in the Bronx for the Yankees.  Wait till next year.
