As they say, "It's not where you start, it's where you finish."
I cannot say where it was I started the new year in 2006, but I'm finishing it here, looks like.
It's been QUITE the year...but the most joy I've had in it is the fact that the American public finally woke up to the awful truth about the Bush administration...I'd been soudning alarms about Bush since the day he won his first term with fewer popular votes than Gore.
Bush topped the polls recently as the worst villain and best hero in the world. The hero vote was a mere 19%, but sufficient for him to lead. The villain vote was far more substantial...and he topped some truly despicable folks.
Another joyous event was the downfall of Karl Rove. The evil behind the nimcompoop.
And then there was the Democratic victoriy at the polls in November, giving the party the majority in both houses of Congress.
2006 was QUITE the year.
