When I sat down to write about 2010, I wanted to tell you how horrible the year has been. Indeed, I could not help but look at the personal situations of my friends and myself, and conclude that the year was one of increasingly bad times.
It's not to say there isn't some truth to that. With the election year politics, the Tea Party, the return of the right and a president who seems to be willing to compromise away well, everything, one does find themselves feeling that there are not even table scraps left.
Certainly, to borrow a refrain heard from many, this is not the change that was voted for in 2008.
