Off and on I’ve ventured predictions for the New Year in this space. I actually started doing it this year, but sadly, at least in the political realm, there is nothing to be optimistic about, and, even more sadly, the prospect is so depressing that it’s not easy to find anything funny to say. As Randy Newman sang, “The End of an Empire is messy at best”.
On a personal level, the coming year actually bodes well, assuming the bankers don’t find a way to loot us all of every last shred of our money, so I’ve got nothing to complain about. So, I’ve decided not to complain. At least not tonight.
After all, as Eric Idle sang, we should “always look on the bright side of life”, so here’s hoping that a miracle occurs and the world takes a turn for the better. It could happen.
Happy New Year to anyone out there reading this. This blog will return to doom and gloom tomorrow.
