2008 is about to go into memory lane. 2008 was quite an interesting and turbulent year. Here is what I think are the top 10 news event for 2008.

1.) Hurricane Ike
2.) Economy Recession
3.) Tropical Cyclone Nargis and Sichuan Earthquake
4.) Mumbai Terrorist Attack
5.) Summer Olympics in Beijng
6.) Midwest Flood of 2008
7.) Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich is arrested on corruption charges
8.) Bernard Madoff’s Ponzi Scheme revealed
9.) New York Governor Elliot Spitzer resigns after prostitution scandal
10.) Israel launches attack on Gaza Strip

Hurricane Ike was number one because I went through it and it was a real mess. Many people are still homeless due to Ike. It was one monsterous storm and I do not want to ever go through it again.

Here is the 2008 Top 10 Rotten Scumbags. We all love to hate them.
1.) Lori Drew-Scumbag extraordinaire and sad excuse of a mother that drove 13 year old Megan Meier to suicide. Proof why some people should not procreate.
2.) Casey Anthony-Another scumbag mother who killed Caylee Anthony.
3.) OJ Simpson-Was acquitted of murdering Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman in 1995. He was sentenced to prison for armed robbery in Las Vegas. Arrogance is one’s downfall.
4.) Fred Phelps-Nutcase leader of Westboro Baptist Church. Protest funerals of dead soldiers and victims of high profile crimes and disasters.  This is self-hate at its worst.
5.) Wendy Portillo-Dumb and idiotic teacher who got other kids to vote out 5 year old Alex Barton. Don’t use 9/11 or some other horrible tragedy to garner sympathy.
6.) Michael Crook-The Fred Phelps of the blogging world and professional loser.
7.) Clark Rockefeller-Rotten imposter and kidnapper.
8.) Diantha Harris-Rotten scumbag teacher that intimated 9 year old Cathy Thompson.
9.) Bernard Madoff-Rotten scumbag con artist who ran a massive Ponzi scheme.
10.) Markos Moulitsas-Wacko blogger who is despised by both left and right.

Osama bin Laden is not on the list only because he would be number one all the time. Also, he deserves his own category, the worst person ever besides Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler. Anyways, all of them will rot in Hell for eternity because they are freaks of nature.

Cheers to 2009. Hopefully 2009 will be a better year. Happy New Years to all!
