The time is nigh for the calendar change. Are you ready? If you live in the U.S., be prepared for 2012 to be a year in politics unlike anything we have seen in decades - if at all. What we have witnessed in the past year in Congress will seem like like a bittersweet memory when the election momentum hits full throttle. So many bodies will be thrown under those "buses" that I suspect the coming year's soundtrack will be the whine of sirens from the rash of ambulances needed to collect the dead and injured.
Beyond politics, expect a few surprises on the celebrity divorce/break-up front. It's not that I'm psychic, nor is it unusual for high profile relationships to crash and burn. However, the "I CAN quit you" winds are blowing rather strong in Hollywood and Manhattan and elsewhere in the world, promising a few more blasts of headline-making fodder. What once seemed solid will prove to be made of liquid assets.
But, for now, let's enjoy the last few hours before the dung hits the whirling global fan. There will be many, many opportunities to utilize the Flogging Whip in the coming year. In preparation, I've given the whip a few days off to rest-up for the new scandals, dramas and traumas which will undoubtedly appear.
Have fun (or not) tonight. Laugh with your friends or cry in your beer. Whatever you choose, give a shout (or scream) for the New Year!
Cheers!
