The Antagonist Annual. . . Millennial Awards




by Joe Carducci




   With the cold war over, the Antagonist editors were able to lease the computer mainframes within Cheyenne Mountain (it's easy, you just have to wait for the Chinese to take a break) to plow through the complete English language annals of this millennium to determine with absolute precision the top personage of each of the categories below. Americans can sleep secure in the knowledge that the impregnable computing fortress can still deliver, though I believe I saw it blanche while calculating the category, Battle-Ax of the Millennium. The editors make no claim that these are our choices, as they have been objectively determined, but the category choices are ours alone.
