We started this year mourning the loss of two 1970s icons: Former President Gerald Ford and the Godfather of Soul (God rest it). And in all fairness someone, somewhere, was probably mourning the death of Saddam--even if his "passing" has afforded us some better sleep.
There was a brief unpublicized war between Ethiopia and Somalia. A few nations south of there, Oprah opened a school for girls.
Wal-Mart went green, Greenpeace put the heat on Apple, and The Huff gave you the shirt of her back.
Two "you go girl" moments helped to get the year rolling: Pelosi's big day and our love affair with our inner ugly.
With talks of Bush team trade rumors and some ill-received fun, we lost our appetites. But they came back. Just in time for a picnic in this lovely spring weather.
Stay with us readers, this is just the beginning. And it only gets 2007ier from here on out. Good night and smell you later.
