2008, The Year of the Scoundrels

2008, good riddance.

What a year for scam artists, connivers and scoundrels. Government bureaucrats, business tycoons and industry manipulators go a bit too far this time and now we're all suffering. I sometimes feel like I buy the club they get to hit me with. Apparently, there's no stopping anyone or anything if the TV tells us it's all for our own good. And the fox keep watching the chicken. How the heck do you put a Senate seat up for auction, anyway?

I'll be glad for the end of the Bush years and remain (stupidly?) hopeful for the Obama era to begin. Godspeed and God Bless, Barack!
