Posted by Bigfoot on December 17th, 2009
The Big Picture feature at Boston.com has 120 photos looking back at the events (so far) of 2009: Part 1 Part 2 Part 3
Meanwhile, in other news, opinion and humor:
The Fort Hood shooting suspect’s condition has improved, enough for him to be moved from intensive care into a private hospital room.
Andrew McCarthy at National Review explains why Gitmo, contrary to what the Obama administration and Sen. Dick Durbin might think, does not cause terrorism.
A nine-ton temple pylon from the palace complex of Cleopatra has been pulled out of the Mediterrean Sea near Alexandria, Egypt.
Communists and (other) socialists protest near the climate change conference in Copenhagen, proudly carrying red flags and even a bust of Karl Marx. I wonder if they stayed around for the snow storm.
Speaking of Copenhagen and socialists, the Obama administration appears ready to offer $100 billion to a fund that would help developing nations deal with climate change.
Closer to home, Obama might be asked to testify in defense of former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich, who is accused of scheming to sell or trade Obama’s former U.S. Senate seat, campaign fundraising abuses and other offenses.
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. A family in Fort Belvoir, VA sends 1550 gift bags to Iraq.
Cops in Arizona apprehend 130 drug dealers and seize $7 million in contraband.
From ARRA News Service, Senator Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark) claims that Congress can force Americans to buy health insurance.

Excellent!
I ran across one at the Telegraph regarding the photos of the decade. I think they forgot that 2010 is the last year of the decade.
