Yes. It was a pretty horrible year. All over the world. In Your Country. In Your City and State. Even in Your neigborhood. The year 2021 got bad in a hurry…we were barely into January when a rowdy group of political disfunctionals stormed the Capital, eventually breaking in, creating havoc, deaths, and a string of indictments for violence, trespassing, insurrection, etc. that are now playing out in courts…..the fact that the outgoing President, who lost the 2020 election by over 7 million votes–a huge margin–has been accused of inciting the riot (he denies it, but he’s been known to bend the truth and has a verified reputation for lying –30,000 plus in his four years in office– and who continues to spew the most egregious fibs about how the election was stolen from him) …it wasn’t stolen; he lost it…only adds to the ongoing polarization in America.
And that was just January. So…taking stock in December 2021 about what happened in the previous 12 and it’s..sobering….However, still, we’re wrapping up the year with our annual The Year in Lists post, where we show you the good, the bad, the unbelievable and the ridiculous of the past year, as displayed, codified, and captured in lists.
So get a glass of wine or pour a bourbon and settle in, for The Year in Lists 2021. You can’t make this stuff up.
