RedState Inspired me. The Best & Worst of 2011 in no particular order.

Worst (Get the ugly out of the way)

I agree with RedState that the Kardashian's represent the absolute worst in what America represents today. However, since I do not know any of my Democratic friends who think differently, their fans must be Republican's.  They certainly do not have many minority fans.

The lies that the Republican candidates are using to try and get the Presidential nomination.  No one is being honest with the voters that a balanced approach is needed to deficit reduction and it must include health care reform either in the form of an improved Affordable Health Care Act or something similar.

The Republican Congress's inability to respect the President and at least let him appoint people to run the government.  Gridlock in the Office of Government Printing??

Where did MF Global's customer cash go?  Unforgivable, but we need the authorities to identify who specifically screwed up and whether it is criminal or not.

Israel's continued expansion of the West Bank Settlements.  How can there be peace if you keep taking the land away from the other side's population?

OK The best

Israel continuing to kick Hamas's pretend Army in the ass with targeted drones blasting the rocketeers to meet their virgins in the sky.

No more Osama Bin Ladan and no more a large number of other terrorists thanks to the drone's and our Navy Seals.

I no longer work for *****; nor do I own two homes anymore.

Everyone I know who found out they had cancer this year, had it discovered early and has a good prognosis for survivorship.

The U.S. economy is recovering; if only a solution could be found for housing so it is more like the cancer story of my friends.  Alas, it is not and the only thing I know is that a government solution is not likely to be a solution.  The market needs to work.  Renting, knocking them down, completing foreclosures, letting paying customer's refinance at lower rates regardless of the loan/value.  Continuing to prosecute the banks is not helping the economy.  Those who committed the ugly loan originations are already out of business.  Taking $ from those who bought them to fix them does not help the economy.  This might belong in the other column.

One of my neighbors in this building is drilling or sanding and it is giving me a headache.  Happy New Year.
