"It was a momentous year, a year of events that will echo in the annals of history the way a dropped plate of calamari echoes in an Italian restaurant with a tile floor. Decades from now, our grandchildren will come to us and say, "Tell us, Grandpa (or Grandma as the case may be), what it was like to be alive in the year that Angelina Jolie, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Britney Spears and Katie whatshername all had babies, although not necessarily in those combinations." And we will smile wisely and emit a streamer of drool, because we will be very old and unable to hear them.

And that will be a good thing, because there are many things about 2006 that we will not want to remember. This was the year in which the members of the United States Congress, who do not bother to read the actual bills they pass, spent weeks poring over instant messages sent by a pervert. This was the year in which the vice president of the United States shot a lawyer, which turned out to be totally legal in Texas.

Also there were many pesky problems left over from 2005 that refused to go away in 2006, including Iraq, immigration, high gas prices, terrorism, global warming, avian flu, Iran, North Korea and Paris Hilton. Future generations are going to look back at this era and ask us how we could have allowed Paris Hilton to happen, and we are not going to have a good answer.

Did anything good happen in 2006? Let me think. No....."

Seriously, though. What do you think was the most important development in the past year?

The Democrats taking control of Congress and forcing Bush to cooperate and compromise with the other 50% of Americans and actually hold his feet to the fire

I beleive that the most significant event that people will look back and question is why the people in darfur are being slaugtered and noone is helping them because most countries are too busy worrying about what is going on where the oil is.

The earth continues to turn, people will get better or worse, and it will continue to be entirely up to each person what they make of a year.

the wildly successful physcological warfare campaign of the media, anti american internationalist forces, and the democrat party.

They actually got alot of liberals to think President Bush is worse than saddam.

Is that crazy or what?

To name a few: Saddam's execution, the Democratic takeover of Congress, and Rumsfeld's resignation.
