2009 vs. 2010
We're about to end the first decade of the 21st century. Cool, right? Well, how many of you expected us to be in flying cars already like they have on "The Jetsons"? It hasn't happened yet, but the future is full of possibilities. Now you can decide which you like better: the just-finished or the just-begun.
THE ECONOMY
2009: One of the worst times since the Great Depression; recession plus unemployment was skyrocketing. Other than that, it was all good.
2010: Economic times will get better as a result of the Great Robot Wars. Unfortunately, we'll be enslaved by those mechanical buckets of bolts. But, hey, it's a job, right?
POLITICS
2009: Barack Obama took over as president.
2010: Kids will be given the right to vote, and Miley Cyrus will be elected by a landslide. Her campaign promise: free hugs every Wednesday!
FASHION
2009: Pink and brown were in. (The combination is horrid, though.)
2010: Pant-less Fridays will be instituted (by Secretary of State Lady GaGa.).
SHOW BUSINESS
2009: Vampires were big, with "Twilight: New Moon," "True Blood" and "Vampire Diaries."
2010: Mummies will be all the rage, with TV shows like "That's My Mummy!" and "How I Met Your Mummy" and films like "Mummy Trucker."
