Usually I like ABBA since it is music performed with some sense of artistry. But I found the lyrics somewhat depressing. This song felt more like it was following a bad year with cautious hope for the future. With that "might as well die" attitude in their lyrics, I wondered if ABBA was Lutheran. Anyway "thank you for the music".

We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day. - Edith Lovejoy Pierce
Happy New Year, All!
May joy, adventure, and kindness find you all.

May we none of us have occasion to consult Mr S this year. As for a quotation to start the year, I am torn between:
Exert that will of your own when you're alone -- and
I have been waiting for these visitors; help me.

Happy New Year fellow Sloggers, for many of us 2012 has been a rough, trying, and sad year.
May 2013 bring hope, happiness, and joy to us all.

We know this guy.
He has a job. He makes $48,800 a year.
He ought to be able to get by on that.
But he spent $70,800 last year.
He ran up $22,000 on a credit card. In one year. Idiot.
The kicker? He has done that for four years running.
Put about $25,000 a year on a credit card.
On a salary of $48,000.
And he was in debt when his four year spree began.
His total credit card debt is over $325,000.
And he makes $48,000 a year.
The double kicker? He doesn't care. He plans to do it again this year.
Sure. He plays lip service to getting real about his budget.
Plans to hit his grandmother for some money.
He says she's rich and she owes him.
Because she is rich.
He's been nagging her for months. He wants three grand from her.
He says if the stingy bitch will cough up the dough he'll be OK.
$3000. That's his plan.
What a moron.
Would you hire this Mooch to run your country?
You did.

Well, the Pope just warned about the dangers of unbridled capitalism; presumably the N.O.M.bies, in states where they've lost, will be right on that.

Happy New Year, Dan, Terry, DJ, Stinker, Beautiful Slog Peoples!
My new years resolution is to smile more (if that's even possible). Here's hoping the reaction it will bring in return will cause a different kind of revoltion. One that will spread around the corner and down the other street. (Either that or it'll make people wonder what in the heck we've been doing ;) Great face and brain exercises too!
Muwah! xoxox

Happy New Year to all.
I intend to spend it much like I spent that non-event Mayan Apocalypse, with booze and white choc chip macadamia cookies. In fact, that's how I intend to spend every feast day from now on.

Happy New Year everyone !
Let's hope that 2013 allows same-sex couples to marry in France too, despite the Pope and his clique !

so true.
American'ts don't pay nearly enough in federal Income taxes.
'cause ZERO just won't cut it anymore.
how much do you propose taxing the Moocher 47% ?
does the smart Democrap citizenry support taxing itself?
do tell.......

@13 in the hopes that reason might prevail in 2013, did you complain as much during the Bush years when the Clinton surplus was frittered away and the structural foundation was laid that has created the current massive annual deficits?
AND, @13, have you watched the O'Reilly/Stewart 2012 Oct. "debate"? Did you notice that O'Reilly's own charts showed that the main thing that has changed between the Reagan 80s and now is that federal spending as a % of GDP is actually only a fraction higher, but tax revenue as a % of GDP has gone down substantially. This was O'Reilly's chart!! That means LOWER TAXES have caused this problem, NOT expanding government.. A good business invests in its future, a smart citizenry supports government taxing enough to invest in the education and infrastructure for the future, and wise business leaders know long term profit comes from supporting a healthy, well educated, well paid work force (look at Germany).
happy 2013 all

Another year,
another $1.3 Trillion in Obama Debt.
But not business as usual-
oh no;
the slope of debt is steepening;
Obama has moved to stealing 46¢
instead of 40¢
of every dollar he spends from The Children.
Very Ironic that the first Black President is selling our children to China.
Revenge must be Very Very Sweet, indeed.....

Same to you, Dan, and to Terry and son. Happy New Year, Slog buddies! If I could cast a working spell, my desire would be that we all get good things done this year and help make the world a better place. I'm told the tiniest little thing can make a huge impact on the outcome. Best wishes for 2013, everyone!
And let's hope for better television.
