Edward Snowden: Person of the Year (Sorry, Pope Francis, You're Cool, But...)

(Updated below)

Dude rattled their cages, didn't he?

I'm casting my vote with Eugene Robinson. Snowden is Person 2013.

Update. Here's a link to a WaPo article by Snowden's chief U.S. reporter that worked with him. Snowden comes off as a pretty sharp guy who knows what he's doing, and he's already won. (Actually true.)

About the American Human

The American Human is written by Calvin Ross, a retired teacher who at various points in life has been a musician, woodworker, restaurateur, narrator, English teacher in Japan, novelist, technology journalist, and private tutor to Japanese children here in the U.S.

Happily residing in the wine country of Sonoma County north of San Francisco, Calvin has lived in the Philippines, the Netherlands, and the aforementioned Japan, as well as in Chicago, Colorado, Georgia, and many different towns in California, including, of all places, the Mojave Desert.

Calvin, you may note quickly, is a liberal progressive who doesn't think being called a socialist is all that bad, especially since he sort of would like living in Denmark if it weren't so cold. He blogs because he can.
