Happy New Year!

Welcome to 2009!

2008 was a hell of a year, wasn't it?

But, we must move on - and like the song says "let auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind".

Right?

Yes, of course. With a few small exceptions:

1. the Wall St. bailout funding exorbitant severance packages and the 50 year inflation protected bonds our kids and grandkids will cover to pay for them

2. the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan
3. the War on Terror(TM)
4. the auto industry bankruptcies
5. the Illinois governor
6. Gitmo
7. Katrina
8. The Great Depression II
9. Deflation
10. Unemployment
11. Healthcare
12. The Great Wealth Transfer Boondoggle
13. Georgia
14. Ukraine
15. Gazprom
16. China
17. Africa
18. China in Africa

...and the beat goes on.

My New Years Resolution is to get back into this blogging game and write about them and more!

What's yours?
