As the year comes to a close, it presents a perfect opportunity for a retrospective look at all the important events.

“It was also a year of Change, especially in Washington, where the tired old hacks of yesteryear finally yielded the reins of power to a group of fresh, young, idealistic, new-idea outsiders such as Nancy Pelosi. As a result Washington, rejecting “business as usual,” finally stopped trying to solve every problem by throwing billions of taxpayer dollars at it and instead started trying to solve every problem by throwing trillions of taxpayer dollars at it.“
But despite all the gloomy news, the holiday season brings at least temporary relief to a troubled nation — especially the children, millions of whom go to sleep on Christmas Eve with visions of Santa in his reindeer-powered sleigh flying high overhead, spreading joy around the world.
2009 was a tough year for many people. It can be nice to try and make light of the situation by using humor to soften the harsh realities we are faced with. Optimism for 2010 is hard to come by, it would be nice to find something to be happy about! At least Avatar was good.
