We were just trying to bring in 2009 last night at my cousin's house, so we turned on the TV - me and my cousin both people who have soured on watching TV, but we wanted to celebrate.
There's Bill and Hillary, and my cousin is almost vomiting and says he doesn't even want to watch. I said we should just watch a little while the ball drops in Times Square. Then we see Dick Clark and my cousin is shocked - he looks so old. Man, people love to hang on to their old, dead idols. I mean, it could be a good thing - revering someone even if he's old. But I can't help but think that people are just regressive, when I see the Clintons and old Dick Clark, who can hardly talk - it's like we're going backwards in time! Man, why can't we be fresh and move on? But that's not to mention the old, dead things that the Clintons represent! Bringing back to life the evils of the Clinton era! That just reminds me that Obama is not change, but more of the same old corruption.

Poor Dick Clark! I think everyone was just used to him looking so much younger for so long that you could forget how old he was. Now, though, he's like 152, so it's gonna show!
As far as the Clinton's go....same ole', same ole'.
Obama? I'm trying REALLY hard to give him the benefit of the doubt since he's actually not even in office yet, but from his cabinet choices, I say, same ole, same ole.
I'm still praying he surprises me and I'll have to send him an apology! And I will...if that should happen!
gabrielle, please look up the new world order, thanks.
I know what you mean. We are revering old baby boomer icons, instead of someone who has actually spent a long life in service to others. Like the late Mother Theresa, or Billy Graham, or Dr. James Dobson. Rev. Graham and Mr. Dobson are still serving. Mother Theresa served until the day she died. I guess the problem really is that our society does not revere service.
Anon. you are new, aren't you?
I know what you mean about Obama. it doesn't hurt to have hope.
I guess Clark had a stroke. You know, it isn't bad to revere people you love even when they're old, it's just that I suspect it's a thing of not wanting to let go of the past.
It was hard to watch old Dick but I admire his courage...I think. I think I'd call it quits if I were him. God Bless and Happy new year.
God bless and happy new year to you too Inklenaomi!
