Bennifer

As the first decade of the millennium toilet bowls to its conclusion, it's safe to say this hasn't been our best ten year meal deal. America had a particularly bad time of it - at one point, Ben Affleck and J. Lo were considered the best actors and top celebrity couple and George W. Bush was a popular president. Could they have picked any worse? No, really? If they chose a chiuaua as president and went tabloid crazy over a married pair of old man farts, they'd at least have expressed a sense of irony and might have done less damage to the countries reputation.

As we get a bit of distance from this decade, wouldn't be surprised if it makes the 80's seem like a sensible period of cultural and political history.
