James Lileks column at American Enterprise Online is a worthy read as we wind down 2005 and prepare for 2006. Lileks covers the year that was, including advances in Middle Eastern democracy:
This global advance will soon screech to a halt, however, when the world learns that prisoners in Gitmo are kept awake with loud Madonna music.
Social Security reform:
Within 48 hours, Bush foes have many citizens convinced his plan will force all seniors to exchange their checks for vouchers good at Cat Food Distribution Centers run by the Enron corporation.
The death of Pope John Paul II:
To the horror of many, his successor turns out to be Catholic.
A great evening read.
