Readings for the Year of the Rat

Published on December 29, 2007

The Year of the Rat is for the opportunist, the proactive, the profiteer and the politician.

This, indeed, will be a year to keep a watchful eye on those who run the world financially, intellectually and dictatorially.

The Rat year is also one of change, reform and the year to put well-thought-out strategy to work.

Worldwide, it's a time when security will count and when political giants will want to protect what's theirs.

As for the average Joe, the Year of the Rat means 12 months to turn losses into gains and instability into security. It will be a time to enjoy the simple pleasures and to be confident enough to be a contributor to the Rat revolution.

And now for something completely different...

Except for 1984 (Reagan's landslide and reaffirmation of conservatism), Chinese Calendar's Year of the Rat (starting every 12 years on New Moon in February) has not been kind to Republicans - 1948 ("Dewey Wins!"), 1960 (JFK-Nixon), 1972 (Nixon's Watergate begins), 1996 (Bob Dole), 2008? (Bob Dole, part 3 1/3 ?)

Well it is called the year of the (Democ) rat for a reason.

I was born in the year of the Rat

So! You are age 11, 23, 35, 47, 59, 71, or 83. Assuming that you were not born on the first day of the year.
