TIME Magazine reports:
With eleven days left to go before TIME's 2015 Person of the Year poll[1] come to a close, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, the upstart candidate for president, holds a wide lead over global notables among TIME readers even as he trails Hillary Clinton in voter polls and fights a long-shot battle for the Democratic nomination.
The self-described "democratic socialist" currently leads Malala Yousafzai, the Nobel Peace Prize-winning activist, with 11% in the TIME reader poll compared with her 5%. Sanders also leads Pope Francis and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Barack Obama and is far ahead of entertainers like Adele (2%) and Jennifer Lawrence (1.7%).
[...] Hillary Clinton has earned 1.3 % of the vote.
[...] Sanders is also beating Donald Trump in the reader poll.
[...] Voting on the reader's choice poll ends Dec. 4 at 11:59 p.m. and the winner will be announced Dec 7.

While TIME says that Hillary's popularity in national voter polls is still higher than Bernie's, they fail to mention that Hillary's numbers are slipping while Bernie's numbers continue to climb.

Completely OT, but on-thread, a friend of mine made the masks for a burlesque production of Cinderella [out.com] and gave me and my wife a couple of comped tickets. There was a girl in it who did pole dancing while singing full-on opera. One of the most impressive athletic feats I've ever seen.
Made me look at pole dancing in a completely new light.

damn near tore my arm right out of my shoulder socket.
How those scantily clad young things hang upside-down by their ankles is completely beyond me.
