Stick a fork in it
2008 has been one of those years you want to hide under the couch and forget about, like a cat hacking up a fresh hairball. On this, the five hundred and thirty-second day of the year, I've had my fill. Enough with the psychopathic Santas, the killer drones, the avuncular ponzi artists, the run-up to the meltdown, the perp-walk of public officials, the apocalyptic weather, and all the other rubble of civilization as we know it. Sheesh!2008 has been so nasty one of the hottest holiday releases stars a guy in a Nazi uniform wearing an eye patch. Ho ho ho. Don't wait for midnight; bring the ball down in Times Square right now. The sooner 2009 begins, the sooner I'll develop some perspective on 2008. Have an undisgruntled New Year.

Love it! Great work, Dale. You've summed up the year as only you can.
No kidding. (Except for the presidential election result, imho.)
Hello Dale,
So you did not enjoy the ramifications of the overabundance of human parasites on spaceship Earth this year. My guess is that you subscribe to the "economist's" theories of ever increasing growth of human population, human consumption, human production and human greed as the best of all worlds. My philosophy suggests it is time for the so call intelligent apes to fish or cut bait. Cutting bait equates to continuing the status quo of the unrestrained policies mentioned above, which as theorized by NASA's Dr. James Hansen, in his latest emailing, leads to humans turning the Earth into a sister planet to Venus; uninhabitable. You didn't enjoy 2008 then it is time to fish by advocating for restraining and reducing human population, massively. Learn what Nature discovered billions of years ago, STASIS, is the watch word for all life including, "HUMANS". I have lived in the North Country for more than half of my 66 years. The changes in the weather here are as undeniably caused by human use/misuse of the Earth's energy reserves as are the poor air quality I observed in CA, MD, TX, LA, ..., during my military and federal career. Humanities's triple witching point of global warming, peak oil and economic collapse have but a single cause, far too many humans on the Earth. Since I was born the number of humans has more than tripled and the numbers of our wild animal brethren has been reduced by 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 and in many cases 100%; why? Ignorance, greed, too many humans; all of the above? As Ross Perot was wont to say "do you foller me?"
I accept all you stated but you left out that despite all those negative aspects the hoi polloi elected Barack Hussein Obama and the hope that has instilled in our people, our children and the world.
peace out
How did you come up with 532 days in 2008?
If there is a reference, I can't think of what it is. Maybe you just felt it took so long to be finished?

Hey Dale! Can you spell "h-o-p-e"? There is still some out there..it just needs a few (million) more souls to keep it up...
and what did you mean by "five hundred and thirty-second day of the year"? Did I miss something?
I tend to look at all the things you mentioned as signposts that need attention paid to them... they are pointing to give us a hint of the new directions we should be going.
Looking forward to better decisions made by all humans in 2009,
Repectfully Yours..
