Yes, boys and girls, it has come down to this very, very important question.
It’s not about health care. It’s not about government ineptitude about tracking down suspected terrorists. It’s not about asinine rules and regulations making flying even more arduous than it already was. It’s not about war. It’s not about bailouts, foreclosures, or unemployment. It’s not even about a Democratic Congress and Administration who have sold out to special interests.
No. The burning question of the day is “what do we call the new year”? Should it be “Two Thousand Ten” or “Twenty Ten”?!?
As you all know, we’re not afraid to jump right into the middle of the fray and offer our opinion. It’s what we do.
And our opinion is… ::drum roll::
Who cares?!? Call it what you like. It doesn’t matter. At all.
For the most part, we will probably continue on with Two Thousand Ten this year. More because we grew up with 2001: A Space Odyssey and 2010: Odyssey Two than any reason that would involve ridiculous things like number of syllables or because “it sounds cooler”. It was programmed in over 25 years ago when the 2nd book came out. It rolls off the tongue easier.
But we also may say “twenty ten” now and again just to do it. Or maybe MMX.
After all, we’ve always been rebels.
