Tuesday
All the best from Samizdata HQ and wishing all of liberty's friends success and prosperity in the New Year! Champagne for our real friends, real pain for our sham friends.
In the networked world in which we live, right after New Years struck the ladies started a frenzy of sending greetings to all and sundry friends via...
...IM...
...and SMS...
...stopping only to ponder the moral issues involved in sending a compromising picture of a Tory MP to Guido Fawkes...
...resulting in David Carr giving us all his Serious Lawyer Look™ before eating the aforesaid image for the good of the team...
...whilst Adriana recorded everything with her new toy...
...and I went back to plotting
...before everyone else drank the house dry.
Clever word use - and a champ's pain deemed the sham's paean (just having fun with it - Happy New Year 2008 to all!)

I'm proud to say I celebrated liberty and freedom last night :) Patsy Hewitt would be so impressed with me...
Here's to a more free and tolerant 2008, and especially to those who strive for it.

Yep Happy New Year one and all !
Off up the Downs to walk the dog and blow the cobwebs of 2007 away.

A very Happy and Prosperous New Year to You. Many thanks for all the thought-provoking posts in the last year - long may they continue!

Happy new year to all, and especially the managers of this site. I appreciate your continuing courtesy and generosity, and truly value your providing a place where unconventional thoughts and minority viewpoints can be expressed in an open and friendly environment.
And, so, three predictions---one a premonition, one an evaluation, and one a bit of wishful thinking.
2008 will be considered a true turning point in the course of modern civilization when future historians look back upon it.
A great many people, friend and foe alike, will get exactly what they deserve as the year progresses.
The bankruptcy of modern "popular culture" will be exposed in a way so shockingly clearcut that even the spinmeisters will not be able to disguise it.
There. Murky enough to be in the Onion's astrology column.

Like any good American conservative, I regard all years after 1988 (Reagan's last full year in office) with some suspicion, but I hope 2008 is its equal for you. Happy New Year! Confusion to the enemies of liberty!

Forgot to say (no doubt due to advanced age): what an absolutely heartbreaking batch of beautiful women in those pictures!

A bit late (we have an extra day of wild hedonistic abandon up here: that's my excuse) but I wish everyone a happy - and free - New Year.

Please accept belated best wishes from this side of The Pond, from your loyal pain-in-the-arse small "r" republican commenter.
And I'm glad that the Librarians continue to attract such hotties to The Cause, as they raise their glasses and give the age-old toast:
"Next year in Freedomia!"

Phew! No, I think the correct caption for that particular well angled picture is "YUM!"
