  • For the year 2008 in review, CLICK HERE

    This is a great link from Guypithicus, I loved it!

    Who is your person of the year from 2008?

     

    Usain Bolt DESTROYED the field.  Can you find Usain Bolt in this picture?

    Don’t look over by the runners in the picture.  Look waaaaaay over there to the right after the finish line. 

    I had to go wide screen on it he won by so much.  I mean Bolt is damn near putting his warmups back on

    and eating his post race snack before the rest of the “greatest athletes in the world” even cross the finish line. 

    And he ran a 9.69.  And he started clowing and high-stepping like Deion Sanders at the 80 meter mark. 

    And he rocked the crazy point it out pose before the race.

    These pics are so crazy.

    The FASTEST human alive. EVER!! USAIN BOLT is my choice.

     

    We lost some great writer’s in 2008. My runner-up choice is —

    Nobel prize winner Solzhenitsyn dies at 89 Alexander Solzhenitsyn

    Moscow – Alexander Solzhenitsyn, the Nobel prize winner for literature who was exiled from the Soviet Union and graphically

    portrayed life in Soviet labour camps, was dead at age 89, the news agency Interfax reported early Monday.

    The agency quoted literary circles in the Russian capital.

    The world famous writer and historian had not been seen in public for months. He died from

    the aftermath of a stroke, according to unconfirmed information.

    Solzhenitsyn’s main work was the Gulag Archipelago in 1973, which described the years of

    Stalinist terror using thousands of details and individual cases.

    The 1970 Nobel winner has reportedly been seriously ill for months.

     

    And who can say Au Revoir to 2008 without adding one last word and face:

    Take care, Mr. President.
