I’m sure Time speaks for a lot of you in describing the past 3653 days (including three leap years) as having been a “Decade from Hell.” The bright clean new century we were promised so long ago turned out to have started with the Bush coup, 9/11, two useless stupid wars, continued eco-deterioration, and a world economy that just kept contracting for most of us even in its officially “good” years.

But at least we got Ratatouille and the iPhone.
