Happy New Year
Now that the sun has gone down, I just want to take a few minutes to wish all my neo-con friends a happy and prosperous new year, 5767 on their calendar. That's pretty impressive as far as civilizations go. The Chinese year is probably at most on year 4703 (although 4643 is the popular choice) but most Chinese don't think along those lines as their calendar counts only in unnumbered cycles of 60. For the Indians who are on the Vikram calendar it will soon be 2063 (on the official calendar in India it's 1928). Christians are just past 2000, of course, and the Muslims have yet to hit 1500--on the Persian calendar it's 1385 and for Islam elsewhere it's the year 1427.
