Well,
we're done with that year that so many people wrongly described
as the beginning of a new millenium and have now begun the year
that actually is the beginning of the new millenium (so long
as you're a Christian, that is--not that those other people matter
much). And while the year 2000 AD had a far less apocalyptic beginning
than anticipated, its ending more than made up for any disappointment,
granting the title of "leader of the free world" to a
pampered, dyslexic ex-president's son whose carelessly concealed
criminal record was surely wiped clean when he accepted Jayyy-zis
some years ago and began honoring him by executing everyone
he could get his hands on from atop his throne in Texas' governor's
mansion.
While
the "election" may have been a severe letdown for any
starry-eyed patriot who believed that democracy still functions
the way it's supposed to, luckily the year 2000 also yielded some
pretty cool stuff, which, upon reflection, will hopefully help us
to cope with the tumultuous four years that lie ahead. If you were
able to make it through these two of many existing paragraphs of
disenchanted citizens' gripes, read on and find out what BREDSTIK
had to appreciate from last year's offerings.
