Year in Review: The World
It's time for some Year in Review Action. Our first topic: The World. Now, admittedly, I didn't spend alot of time in the World this year. I spent most of my time inside my own skull, which, as most of you know, is located on some other planet. So, to do a semi-accurate review of the World at Large, I need to use an outside source. Namely, the News. According to the News, the World Sucked Ass This Year. Hurricanes killed people and wrecked places. Tsunamis killed people and wrecked places. Tornados killed people and wrecked places. Earthquakes killed people and wrecked places. Bush got caught lieing about a bunch of stuff, but apparently none of it was bad enough to get him impeached. Some gal couldn't cope with the grief of losing her son in Iraq. She wanted answers from the President. The Prez went into hiding. Half the country called her a bitchwhore and demanded she be burnt at the stake. The other half wanted her to become a newly minted Saint. She was just trying to deal with her sadness. A bunch of people got pissed off that some gal who was a vegatable might be killed. A bunch of people got pissed off that some gal who was a vegatable might not get killed. The gal couldn't voice her opinion cause she was a vegatable. Lots of folks died in Iraq. Good guys, bad guys, civilians, young, old, tall, fat, skinny. All dead. Blown up, shot, and blown up some more. Some folks died in Afghanistan too, but we forgot about that place, even though that was supposed to be the place that started this whole mess. The rich got richer. The poor couldn't get any poorer. The Middle class worked its ass off and still pretty much became the working class poor. Gas got retardedly expensive. We all got poorer still. We found out that gas shouldn't have been that expensive and that we all got robbed. Nothing happened to the bad guys. The Taliban got away. Arrested Development got cancelled. The weather got weird. Someone came up with the term carbon footprint. People tried to get thin, but we all still ended up getting fatter. The movies pretty much sucked and didn't make much money until Harry Potter came out. A bunch of sports guys acted like dicks. A bunch of celebrities acted like dicks. I occassionally acted like a dick.
Long story short, the World was the World. Same as always.
Nothing has any meaning. Everything is signifigant.

Carbon footprint's been around longer than this year, but the media picked it up in '05. I think the tsunami was actually an '04 thing. Christmas to be exact. And don't forget that since the Dems don't have the votes to oust Bushy, they're picking off the lower guys like corrupt senators (aren't they all) and ineffective advisors.
Oh yeah, and there's the new Pope.
Don't forget about the Michael Jackson trial *shu-MOAN-uh*.
I like how Arrested Development being cancelled ranked up there in your World Happenings.
