The New Year's Eve celebration drew spectators from around the world, despite cold and blustery weather.
** A vision of sugar plumbs (or, in this case, dancing bananas) ... **
A projection for the future, starting tomorrow:
The Epstein thing will still be on-going, starting Fridays tens of millions of Americans are going to receive their new healthcare premiums, people will continue to be snatched from the streets of America (Details on your local TV news, sound up, down or muted, same impression - *), the on-going war in Venezuela will get hotter, the buffoons running federal agencies will continue to prove their incompetence, writ large, inflation and rising prices will continue unabated, and ostensible allies will be further insulted and isolated, while economic adversaries will continue to, as they say, Laugh all the way to the bank, while laughing and insulting the Trump right to his face.
Oh, and did I mention that there will be a major national election in less than 11 months?
* Thank you to the Trump administration for this in-kind contribution to the Democratic Party and its candidates (oh, and shrimpsizedgenitalsdisguisedbyataco"Dan" too!).
No need to spend a single dime pointing how cruel, yet totally incompetent, is the entire Trump Administration...
Oh, and to all my dear friends on the Reich ** right side of the aisle...
The Happiest of New Years to you and yours
** - in keeping with the Trump's theme of unity this new year.

Lyrics excerpt ...
...
The lyric had its origins in a love song from Bono to his wife, but was subsequently reshaped and inspired by the Polish Solidarity movement.
[Verse 1]
All is quiet on New Year's Day
A world in white gets underway
I want to be with you, be with you night and day
Nothing changes on New Year's Day
On New Year's Day
[Chorus]
I will be with you again
I will be with you again
[Verse 2]
Under a blood red sky
A crowd has gathered in black and white
Arms entwined, the chosen few
The newspaper says, says
[Pre-Chorus]
Say it's true, it's true
And we can break through
Though torn in two
We can be one
[Chorus]
I, I will begin again
I, I will begin again
...
[Verse 3]
And so we're told this is the golden age
And gold is the reason for the wars we wage
Though I want to be with you, be with you night and day
Nothing changes New Year's Day
...
I have heard disturbing rumors that onepigironsmoothbrainaut, or perhaps shrimpsizedgenitalsdisguisedbyataco"Dan" are the actual Barbie Doll Man of Eugene.
Can anyone here confirm or deny that well documented and verified rumor?
Many thanks!
And Happy New Year
