News You Can't Use: Excedrin headache No. 2013: 2-in-3 Call it a 'Bad Year'

How will history remember the last arbitrarily numbered revolution around our cold and merciless sun? Will future wine lovers look at these magical four digits on a bottle, shake their heads and say "Lousy year?" Will history books fondly recall it as part of the apology and groveling era? And what of the average peasant, caught up in this amazing experiment in attempting to parse the passage of time?

"All our losing sports team needs to do is change its name and/or logo and it will instantly get better!"

54 percent called 2013 a “bad year” for the world. Another 15 percent called it a “very bad year"

I guess we just remember the negative, the evil lives forever while all the good goes to the grave. I mean, what about all those excellent scripted comedies on the television? That has to count for something.  

There are almost no issues where a majority of Americans have seen improvement.

Being the world's leader in incorrect answers on standardized math examinations, slip 'n' fall lawsuits and carbonated beverage consumption counts for a lot less than it used to, obviously.
