Happy new year! I know it is kinda of late saying that but this is the first post since 2009. Anyways, welcome to a new decade. Last year, there were many events that made 2009 either memorable to you or a year that you just want to believe never happened. In politics, we had Barack Obama, our first African-American president, take office, the healthcare debate, the undiebomber from Nigeria, and many of you know that we are still in a recession. As many of us Californians know, our state is in debt and even after the end of 2009, we are still billions of dollars in debt.
