2005 In Review- Bonfire Of The Inanities

From Barry Crimmins at the Boston Phoenix comes the absolute best political year in review article I have read so far. All of the major stories and issues are covered in an informative, yet humorous, way. It's quite engaging. He starts off with Duke Cunningham's tear-filled confession, moves onto to Diebold, then the media, then the Plame case, more Congressional scandals, how 'Camp Casey' helped reshape the war debate, the aftermath of Katrina, the Miers nomination, the wiretapping scandal, then the Iraqi elections, and wraps it all up for us in four well written pages.

The bonfire of the inanities-

Seriously, could it get any worse?

Highly-recommended read. Grab a glass of champagne, print it out, and enjoy.
