2005 In Review: The Bad and the Ugly
Huffington Post bloggers have their end of year blog posts up. Mine is a top ten list of the Villains of 2005. You can add your own in the comments.
Arianna has some resolutions she'd like George Bush to make:
- "Next time the mother of a slain soldier camps out in a ditch outside my ranch, I'll meet with her right away";
- "Next time a Cat 5 storm destroys a major American city, and my point man is more worried about the way his clothes look than helping the victims, I won't say he's doing a 'heck of a job'"; and
- "No more equating loyalty with competence. Sorry, Harriet."
Nora Ephron has a one line resolution for the President, and yes, it's funny.
Bill Maher writes his thoughts on 2005.
Maybe next election, people will start to think, who gives a damn if I want to have a beer with this guy?
Predictions? Bob Cesca has very funny ones, that leave you wondering if maybe they could happen. That's a scary thought, here are just two:
- "PRESIDENT CLINTON will be arrested, tried, and convicted on charges that Bush wiretapped American citizens without warrants."
- "THE 2006 MIDTERMS will be cancelled by the president, claiming that a possible Democratic majority in Congress would jeopardize national security by diminishing his authority; and that a change in government here would damage the Iraqi democratic process."
Alec Baldwin predicts a Cheney, not Bush, impeachment before 2008.
There's plenty more, so head on over and read a few.
HuffPo, in my opinion, is the blogging success story of the year. Every blogger I read stops there multiple times a day. Arianna put her heart and soul, as well as her vision into the site and it paid off big time. Congratulations, Arianna, and thanks for inviting us non-celeb bloggers to join in the fun.
