2008 in review

Ahhh, 2008. What a wonderful year. The year that showed us the most sensitive person on Earth might be a cartoon robot, that even Governor's like to get their freak on and that George W. Bush is really good at ducking shoes. 

Billionaires are shooting themselves in the head at an alarming rate, a Starbucks on Fifth Avenue closed and even Manny Ramirez can't find a job.  

The house you live in is worth less than the paper your mortgage was written on, you're unemployed (or very soon will be) and the crooked bank that gave you that mortgage? They were just handed billions of dollars more to invest wisely.

I find it entirely fitting that 2008 will go down as the only time a professional football team played sixteen games and didn't win any. Did anybody do well this year?

But let's look on the bright side. All of that is over now as we've officially turned the page on '08 and in a few days we will have a brand new commander in chief. One that is actually competent, unlike the outgoing one. And if all else fails, we can always go to Gaza or Mumbai on vacation. Wait. Nevermind.
