It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

Meaning it's time for Dave Barry to look back on, and make fun of, the last year.  A sample:

September: …

In domestic news, President Obama returns from his Martha’s Vineyard getaway refreshed and ready to tackle the job he was elected by the American people to do: seek reelection. Focusing on unemployment, the president delivers a nationally televised address laying out his plan for creating jobs, which consists of traveling around the nation tirelessly delivering job-creation addresses until it’s time for another presidential getaway.

I predict that the best thing about 2012 will be that it won't be 2011.  If you've forgotten why that's good news, Dave Barry has a few reminders why.

    My favorite bit so far:

    In Europe, the economic crisis continues to worsen, especially in Greece, which has been operating under a financial model in which the government spends approximately $150 billion a year while taking in revenues totaling $336.50 from the lone Greek taxpayer, an Athens businessman who plans to retire in April. Greece has been making up the shortfall by charging everything to a MasterCard account that the Greek government applied for — in what some critics consider a questionable financial practice — using the name “Germany.”

    He really does not appear to be making it up: DHS really has come out with a warning about that terror hazard known as the turkey fryer.
