Dave Berry has his 2008 in review column up at the Washington Post. He is a funny guy, go give it a read here.
How weird a year was it? Here’s how weird:
# O.J. actually got convicted of something.
# Gasoline hit $4 a gallon — and those were the good times.
# On several occasions, “Saturday Night Live” was funny.
# There were a few days there in October when you could not completely rule out the possibility that the next Treasury secretary would be Joe the Plumber.
# Finally, and most weirdly, for the first time in history, the voters elected a president who — despite the skeptics who said such a thing would never happen in the United States– was neither a Bush nor a Clinton.
