New York Group Will Set Shredders in Times Square to Get Rid of Bad Memories of 2007

In the spirit of starting anew, a business group and the city's sanitation department are inviting New Yorkers to shred their bad memories of 2007.

Everything from photos of ex-lovers to lousy report cards will be fair game when the Times Square Alliance and the New York Department of Sanitation set up shredders in the Times Square Visitors Center for an hour on Dec. 28.

Recycling bins will be available for items that can't be shredded, like embarrassing fashion mistakes, annoying CDs and irresistible — and fattening — chocolate chip cookies. The organizers say they'll also provide stationery for passers-by to jot down memories they wish would go away.

A grand prize of $250 will be awarded to the person deemed to be most creative in letting go of old baggage.

Better get there by noon: At 1 p.m., a sanitation truck will pick up the distasteful, the disturbing, the downright depressing — and cart it all away.

1. What are they doing? Following the White House's lead?

2007 not a great year for B*sh.

Two more months of his current approval rating, and he will be the most unpopular President in American History. Truman will be out of the cellar. (Truman deserves much better than the record for most unpopular. He was a great President. BTW, B*Sh seems to think that because he is unpopular, too, that history will vindicate him the way Truman was vindicated.)

2. I wish I could do that

2007 was the WORST year yet for me and my family. I would like to just fucking forget the whole thing!
