2006 Redux - 2007 Promises More, but "Hotter, Sexier..."

In an exclusive interview with 2007 AD, the new year promised another akin to 2006 AD but "hotter, sexier, faster..."

"What 2006 was to the world, 2007 will be much the same but delivered with a velocity that will boggle the mind." said the seventh year into the second millennia, "2006 was a big year - given the continued War on Terror, scandals, Sudan et al - but the lack of any major natural disasters offers great potential..."

With 3,000 deaths being surpassed at the end of 2006, as well as Saddam Hussein's hanging, 2007 begins with many hurdles to overcome, but the year remains undaunted:

"Look to China and the Arctic for my first major moves," teased 2007, "And with the Bush Administration about to announce another 30,000 troops being sent into Iraq, well, that's an area for tremendous chaos - much like Britney Spears..."

2006 could not be reached for comment, vanquished into memory, but 2007 specifically thanked the previous year for many building blocks, including "Mark Foley and North Korea, the Pope... These are the cornerstones for another year of greed, lust and fear; just think what Romania and Bulgaria will offer the EU and 2007? Iran, hello? Who knows what I, I mean, Putin, has up his sleeve?"
