Your 2023 Waggies!

You bought it, you break it!

Dear Wags,

We gathered around the editorial table to stick a fork in 2023. Time to buckle up for 2024, which a few smarties warn us will be The Most Important Year Ever for the Future of Humanity. What is to be our role in the coming struggle? Well, somebody has to fiddle merrily while Rome burns. The past year was chockablock with horrors, but a few things amused us along the way. The Waggies are awarded to guilty pleasures and questionable achievements. After much heated deliberation, here are our awardees.

Yours,

Don’t cry for Argentina, Javier Gerardo Milei. There’s always next year.

The Thanos Smasher of Worlds Trophy to…Elon Reeve Musk!

What a tight category we had this year! Argentina elected an anarcho-capitalist with anarcho-hair. Rudy Giuliani declared bankruptcy after being ordered to pay $146 million in a defamation case. Sam Bankman-Fried is staring down 100 years in prison for crypto skulduggery. Congress…oy! And the GOP presidential front runner faces 91 charges in four separate indictments, which at least the Colorado Supreme Court thinks may be disqualifying.
