Here are the news headlines I did not post yesterday because they were too depressing, so of course I’m posting them today when they’re no less depressing.
Time Magazine has called these past 10 years (2000-2009) the worst decade ever, mainly because how badly George W. Bush and Dick Cheney screwed us in the U.S. and the rest of the world as well. I call these past 10 years The Aughts with the Naughts.
