In a little bit of magazine news, Salon.com's Broadsheet points out that Time magazine's annual "Person of the Year" coverstory hasn't featured a standalone female pick since 1986(!!!). They go on to suggest options ranging from Lady GaGa to Hillary Clinton, but I'm still reeling from the whole "1986" thing.[Note: For serious, Time: you picked Ted Turner and Jeff Bezos. Why not J.K. Rowling?]

That's sort of worse than the Publisher's Weekly flap. Appalling. But then TIME is rather conservative so I'm almost not surprised.

I know... but it's still totally depressing. Particularly on a year with SO MANY excellent female canidates!

I actually even would have been okay with them picking Stephenie Meyer--I'm obviously not a fan of her work, but there's no denying that she's been tremendously influential.
