Like that's going to happen. The new year year always turns out to be like the old one, if not worse. Merry Crisis and Crappy New Fear. :skull:

Doesn't everybody want the current year to be better than the previous one?

what people want and what they get most often diverge, sometimes wildly. only the winning 1% consistently get what they want, exactly, in full and with alacrity.

Words turn me on. I can't get over "and with alacrity." Too much of a straight line.
"and with relish"
"and with a flourish"
"and with a discount"
Aren't you glad you don't live with me? :lol:

i think "and with a relish" has the best flow of them all.

like each syllable lines your mouthparts up for the next.

It will be a better year for political comedy.

Until Trump shuts it down that is.

Alec Baldwin better have a sanctuary set up in Canada if he's smart.
