#3 Chin, chin! RB turned me from a rudderless individual to a righteous conservative. Woke me up.

God bless the union, and the Constitution.

#6 I think that for those of us younger than 70, we will look back on last year and the this one as "The Bad Time". Like the "The Great Depression" was for our parents and grandparents, this will be a time that will leave an impression on us. I think we can all get through this, but I believe that few of us will get through it unscarred.

Happy New Years to you and your people. I hope you get through it with minimal damage and maximum joy.

#9 The toast I made last night:

To Scotland (holding up the Balvenie) and to Ireland (Holding up my favories 16 year Bushmills)!

And no, I'm not hungover, I always look like this in the morning (sucks getting old but beats the alternative)

#13 You just set off a memory,
Fiddler on the roof, singing Locheim, to life.

#14 RJ,
It's the perfect toast in our RB world, mocking the Cult of Death.

#16 Very eloquent, and very true, Barbara. I second your words, and the rest here. And may Rantburg in this year of 2009 give rudders to many more like Thor Thusorong7719, conservative or not.

#17 A Happy New Year to all, thanks to Fred and the mods for keeping the lights on. A Shumba for everyone, Besoeker will know what that is.

#18 Mine, in cheap box-Chablis...

Look, when I am a best-selling author and all the top-rated literary outlets are begging to review my latest book, I'll toast Fred in $20-a-bottle champagne. (Not that Crystal stuff-my daughter drank it once, and couldn't figure out the appeal, unless it was to consumers with way more money than sense.)

Ah, krep, the guardians of the literary scene will never fall for that. I do historical novels, about the western frontier, which is something they wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole - box-Chablis it is. To Fred!
(huzzah! huzzah! huzzah!)
