AKIC 2007 bests and worsts

AKIC Man of the Year 2007

The honor goes to U.S. General David Petraeus, the commander of the Surge in Iraq.  His generalship has lead to use of the word victory.

AKIC Woman of the Year 2007

My Wife, of course.

AKIC Wuxi Expat of the Year 2007

Really, no Wuxi Expats did anything to distinguish themselves this year.  So the winner is nobody.

AKIC Villain of the Year 2007

It can be no one else but Al Gore.  His campaign to spread fear-mongering about supposed Climate Change has resulted in the curtailment of free speech, free scientific inquiry and free markets.  His campaign, if it is not stopped, will do little to solve the problem of pollution; and it will lead to more poverty.

AKIC Day of the Year 2007

August 23, 2007 was a great day for it was the day of the birth of my son Tony.

AKIC Quote of the Year 2007

His majesty, the King of Wuxi, the Liberator of Hans Island said:  "I didn't do much this year except try to be  a good husband and father."

AKIC'S Favorite Blog of 2007

www.seablogger.com.  It was the first site I would visit every time I turned on the computer.  Allan Sullivan is prolific, intelligent and literate.  It amazes how he found the time to be on a boat, and blog so much and so well while battling a serious illness.
