Uh, Happy New Year?

Just an observation while at work today: Some people seem to be in seriously cranky moods, judging by our message boards.

We had some rather innocuous features today (to be expected on a holiday) that seemed to stick in people's collective craws. There was the obligatory first baby of 2009 story, a nice piece on how seventh-graders are trying to make the Chinook the state dog, and another feature on a guy who enlisted in the Army at 39 (Note: These stories always bring out both sides in the the message board debates, but in light of the other "lighter" stories, thought it was worth a mention).

What happened to hoping 2009 is better? Yikes.
