Eight rhymes nicely, unlike some other digits.
I accomplished the unthinkable: ending my time off. Kinda gives me a waterfall of tears! wah!!! Serves me right!
I wanted to propose we skip right past 2008. 2007 was nothing to write home about, but survivable. 2009 surely will be fine. Also rhymes with 69, but that is another blog :)
Now that the date ends in "08" not only does that mean it is a leap year - which has February 29 in it, a day which salaried people across the land are not compensated for - but it also has a Presidential election.
YIKES!!!! NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Yes folks, it's here, an election year. A year when the BS is eyeball deep. There's enough hot air around that helium will be dirt cheap. Traffic will stop in major cities so rich butt holes can get to expensive fund raisers. There will be a clown on every corner. I will get phone calls from Colin Powell and Barack Obama. TV will have so much mud flying that HD will mean heavy dirt.
Yes my friends, another Presidential election. Multiple mass-media campaigns simultaneously. It's not the steak, it's always the sizzle. Polls everywhere. Please give me a break! We need to stop rewarding the"candidate" that has the most money to spend on TV ads. Put them back on campaign trains. Fire the media consultants, ban polls.
Oh, I will vote - always do - but the things we have to endure in a leap year should be less of a circus and more of an open forum. On the bright side! I guess it will give me 10+ months of stuff to gripe about.
Blessings counted over here!
Happy New Year to all. Is it really too late to cancel 2008?
