befuddled friday 2

It's another befuddled friday and I'm wondering--have we morphed back in time a couple of decades?

Miami Vice is back onscreen
Skinny jeans are all the rage (but not for us gals with booties, okay)
We're immersed in celebratory consumerism (see My Super Sweet 16 and Laguna Beach, for instance)
And perhaps worst of all:
There's another Bush in the White House and Israel is back in Lebanon

Damn! Can we have some peace?
