Toasted Pixel Presents: 2004 Moratorium


For many, the 2004 holidays were a trying time to end the year, with natural disasters and political upheavals all around the world, and more and more parents buying computers.



Below, we've collected the list of other noteworthy events of 2004 that effect us all. Enjoy!

However, the incumbent still got enough support to get re-elected. Perhaps it's because he got some more help in unexpected demographics.

The consensus: Absolutely none of this will change come 2006.
