Bye-Bye 2013 By Doug Kase A holiday welcome to our colleagues and friends! Another year gone by, truly a show that never ends! I’ll find a place to start, an event from which to begin, I think Superstorm Sandy is as good as any to just dive in. The wind, rain, and flooding certainly paralyzed our city. A dangling crane was a sight certainly not too pretty. But the city was strong; up we did rise. Then a blizzard named Nemo took us all by surprise. In the meantime, President Obama was elected for term number two, A tumultuous year ahead, looking back, ain’t that true! There’s Benghazi, the fiscal cliff, gun control, just to mention, And of course there’s Obamacare that has caused much dissension. The Costa Concordia again is now floating. Of Weiner and Spitzer, it’s a wonder who’s voting. It’s amazing how Weiner is never to learn, So let’s bring Mayor Bloomberg back for his fourth term. The lights went out at the last Super Bowl. Beyoncé’s lip-synching was out of control. Dennis Rodman took a trip to North Korea. Edward Snowden from the US disappeared and said, see ya! “Gangnam Style” was the dance of the year. Nerve gas in Syria, another war we did fear! Amanda Knox is again going on trial. Allegations of phone monitoring, up they did pile. Wildfires out west, and we all did our best to survive the heat of the summer. Political parties are screwy, adios Dr. Bui, a government shutdown’s really a bummer. Now three girls in Ohio were finally found, Their captor now dead, buried deep in the ground. And the music awards were about Miley Cyrus, So twerking your booty did spread like a virus. “Sharknado” became quite a B movie hit. To Obamacare, Republicans could not commit. One thing should go with the Tea Party hand-in-hand: It’s the Mad Hatter, white rabbit, and Alice in Wonderland. And chef Paula Dean said something quite mean and got chucked off cable TV. She said a bad word, has a mouth like a turd, sticking to cooking is really the key! Of course James Gandolfini left us too soon! “Blurred Lines” was a hit, quite a catchy good tune. “Breaking Bad” is over; it ended too quick! Michael J. Fox is back on TV, not looking too sick. So far, the hurricane season’s not looking too bad. If they don’t raise the debt ceiling, now that will be sad! If the US defaults, the economy it will destroy. And William and Kate had a cute baby boy. Ben Affleck got snubbed at the Academy Awards, And Brad Pitt battled the zombie hoards. “The Conjuring” caused a lot of scary strife! But nothing is as terrifying as living real life. An Al-Qaeda boss by Navy SEALs was snatched. A new iPhone of course can’t be matched! The stock market again continues to soar. In Colorado, the rain for weeks did it pour. Korea tested a nuke; now that could make you puke, threatening a nuclear tussle. But Kim Jong-un is an underage loon as he flexes his military muscle! The March on Washington turned fifty years. The Boston Marathon churned terrorism fears! As to common sense, if Boehner had any, He’d know the good of the few doesn’t outweigh the good of the many! Another shooting in the news Extend the debt limit congress did choose While Sandra Bullock certainly defied gravity The world is just full of too much depravity. December is a month filled with parties and too much cheer. Thus we’ll celebrate again in the start of the new year! So put down your drills, join us for some thrills, and save the upcoming date. You bet your asses, we’ll raise a few glasses and find a few things to CELEBRATE!
