Here's a couple of downer stories for ya:
Wall Street ends third straight year down. Yep, down. So much for my retirement fund:
Weighed down by terrorism, accounting scandals and fears of war, Wall Street ended its third straight losing year Tuesday � the longest such streak since Franklin D. Roosevelt was in the White House.
And the other:
2002 A Year of Anxiety for California
Some of the most chilling news in 2002 centered on a seemingly constant stream of stories of abducted, murdered children and of priests accused of molesting young parishioners.
Oh
that'll put us all in the party mood, all right...
