Here Comes 2023

Samoa is always the first country to ring in the New Year. American Samoa, its neighbor just 101 miles away, has to watch in envy and wait a full day. There are 39 different local times in use - including two which are more than 12 hours ahead of UTC - which means it takes 26 hours for the entire world to enter the New Year. So, if you really, really, really love to hum "Auld Lang Syne," the list below will get you in the spirit - over and over and over again.

Ever since I've gotten older. I have loathed New Years. It's a sign that the dirt nap nears.

From what I've been hearing, something may spark a nuclear war. After all, the ineptitude of the Biden Administration has made enemies of half of the world. Nuclear arsenals are expanding.

You're full of smelly brown stuffs. I'm no fan of Biden. He's not that bad. You're talking out of your keister again.

Biden is loved worldwide compared to his predecessor.

Putin on the other hand is about as welcome as a child molester in an elementary school for the blind.

The Monkey House in DC might have a little trouble getting started this year.
