Happy New Year! Time for the 10s!

Enough of the "noughts".

Let's stick a fork in the past decade and its symbols of mediocrity:

• Sport utility vehicles;
• Energy drinks;
• Dog the Bounty Hunter;
• Kansas City Royals;
• Windows Vista;
• Turducken;
• Apple martinis;
• "You are not the father!";
• "You are the father!";
• Ryan Seacrest;
• Wikipedia as a news authority;
• Shamwow®! ("Holds 12 times its weight in liquid!");
• Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes;
• Tyrone Willingham and Charlie Weis;
• WAMU (aka Washington Mutual Savings Bank);
• Subprime mortgages and the home-lending crisis;
• "FOX News";
• "Mission accomplished."

Raise your chai green-tea-and-soy latté and toast the new decade!
