Another year is behind us, so what better way to reflect than to take a look back at TWI’s best, most popular, cleverest and head-smackingest blog posts of 2009? All day, we’ll be re-running our favorites.
Throughout the year on The Independent Streak, we followed the nation’s biggest stories, including: the inauguration of a new president, the economic and foreclosure crises, tea parties, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, birthers, the remaking of the Republican Party (such as it was), the debates over torture, climate change and health care reform, and countless others.
In retrospect, it was a pretty wild time. Let’s hope 2010 is, if nothing else, no less interesting. Enjoy!
