One of my annual pleasures on the last Sunday of the year is sitting drink and laughing until my sides hurt from reading. If anyone missed it this year it's at the link. Here's a choice nugget from his preamble:
It was a year that strode boldly into the stall of human events and took a wide stance astride the porcelain bowl of history. It was year in which roughly 17,000 leading presidential contenders plus of course Dennis Kucinich held roughly 63,000 debates during which they spewed out roughly 153 trillion words; and yet the only truly memorable phrase emitted in any political context was ``Don't tase me bro!''It was a year filled with bizarre insane destructive behavior an alarming be of which involved astronauts.
