Epilogue 2008

So there you have it. If you still don’t believe the end of days is truly upon us, what with the Swiss bankers lying down with Black Holes and the re-emergence of bone fide pirate states, the final harbinger of doom has to be the emergence of Newfoundland as a Have Province while Ontario finds itself in a position where it must “bank” on handouts from the rest of Canada.  The world has clearly flipped polarity. In closing, and at the risk of causing the year to completely implode under the weight of so many International Year monikers, I will dub 2008 the year of the Pirate (and/or the International Year of Words ending in the long vowel e sound as in Ponzi, Piracy, Gimme, and proroguy).
