So, yeah, 2007. Lots has changed, lots has stayed the same. Life be life, yeah.

Gotta quote the decider here as he opines in the Wall Street Journal:

“I believe that when America is willing to use her influence abroad, the American people are safer and the world is more secure. I believe that wealth does not come from government. It comes from the hard work of America’s workers, entrepreneurs and small businesses. I believe government closest to the people is more responsive and accountable. I believe government plays an important role in helping those who can’t help themselves. Yet we must always remember that when people are hurting, they need a caring person, not a government bureaucracy.”

What he says: “I believe that wealth does not come from government. It comes from the hard work of America’s workers, entrepreneurs and small businesses.”

What he means: First you take it from the small guy then you hand it over to your cronies under the guise of a “war for their hearts and minds”.

What he says: “I believe government closest to the people is more responsive and accountable.”

What he means: Let’s open their mail and make sure that we know what they’re thinking.

I’m sure there’s more to say, but ‘07 opened with a virulent cold taking over the CasaWeX fambly, so we’re up to here in snot and sinus pain. I’ll leave you with the Top 25 Censored Stories of 2007.
