Happy 2010!
Jan 01^st, 2010, 9:58am

Welcome to the second decade of the millenium! Let's hope it's a helluva lot better than the first one.

I got thinking yesterday about where we were ten years ago, both personally and globally, and was gobsmacked by how much things have changed since then:

- We were still living in our "old" house, where we'd been for 15 years.
- Our beloved black lab/Irish setter, Shanty, was still alive and frisky as ever.
- I was about 80 lbs lighter (75 of those went on within a year of the accident).
- The Boy didn't have his driver's license yet.
- Dave-Girl was in the 8th grade and sad because she didn't have a boyfriend.
- Mr Cat had a mustache and I didn't.
- I was working at a job I loved and planned to stay there until I retired.
- You could still bring anything you pleased onto an airplane, and didn't have to take your shoes off for inspection.
- Only the Muslims knew - or cared - what a Muslim was.
- We had a cabinet-style TV.
- Nobody had ever heard of Lady Gaga, reality TV, "American Idol", or global warming.

Feel free to add to the list!

I was working for Target Stores, Bloomington, Mn.

No one cared how many Arabs you carried on an airplane.

No one had heard of Paris Hilton.

French waiters had ten less years of snootiness under their belts.

No one traveling by air had smelled burning Nigerian underpants yet.

Al Gore was only a minor annoyance. I hadn't yet had any dreams of Barbara Boxer being eaten by polar bears. Nancy Pelosi's photo had not been approved by the FDA as a homeopathic cure for child constipation.

Fighting the never-ending battle for truth, justice and etc.

Don Cherry, host of CBC's Hockey Night in Canada , was asked on a local live radio talk sho, just what he thought about the allegations of torture of suspected terrorists. His reply prompted his ejection from the studio, but to thunderous applause from the audience:

"If hooking up one raghead terrorist prisoner's testicles to a car battery to get the truth out of the lying little camel shagger will save just one Canadian life, then I have only three things to say: 'Red is positive, black is negative, and make sure his nuts are wet.'"

I'm sure Cherry's politically correct puppet masters at the CBC won't be too happy about that.
