The heavy favorite for winning this year’s heralded Time Magazine Person of the Year award is God’s personal allergy “Mother Nature/Natural Disasters.” According to Sportsbook.com, the massive death and destruction caused by the hurricanes in 2005, plus the hurricanes in Kashimir have given Mother Nature poll position at 2/1. Other favorites include Mahmoud Abbas / Ariel Sharon 6/1, Condoleezza Rice at 10/1, The Iraqi People at 10/1, and Pope John Paul II at 10/1. Longshot odds go to Christopher Reeve at 150/1, which we assume is because he died. If “Superman” got up and started walking around last year like he was supposed to, dude would’ve won this in a, um, landslide.
