| Good grief, is 2008 over yet? Between the financial armageddon and a dystopian political campaign worthy of a Vonnegut novel, it's felt like an eternity since America acted sane. Just reading the news makes us reach for a stiff drink. Naturally, New Year's Eve 2009 feels even more symbolic than usual, and some intense bacchanalia is the perfect way to give 2008 a Farewell-And-Don't-Come Back message. So this December 31st, drink up, drink long, and drink to the future. |
