You are free to be every bit as miserable as you choose. Some people just like to wish one another well for the New Year.

And I read it as sort of poking fun of DU in total, not poking fun at actual important things.

I know you have a good sense of humor, so why not take this post in that spirit?

Regardless, I hope you and your family have a terrific New Year!

How many wonderful liberal, Feminist and progressive women AND MEN will you attract with this? I hope the admins are reading this. It would surely be a disappointment for their holiday cheer and their wishes for the New Year at DU!

Aren't you special?
