Resolved: Less Bush Bashing

Even bloggers should make New Year's resolutions. Here are mine for 2008:

1. I resolve to hammer President Bush a little less because he has already secured his place alongside Warren G. Harding.


2. I resolve to stay after Vice President Cheney and his neocon friends if he continues his bellicose views about regime change.


3. I resolve to continue to jump all over the National Rifle Association and its unwillingness to compromise on anything.


4. I resolve to mention political polls only if they are based on the issues and not on the horse race.


5. I resolve to follow action or inaction in Congress and be as tough on Democrats as on Republicans. It will be difficult.


6. I resolve to worry more about the state of newspapers in the country without getting maudlin about it.


7. I resolve to follow more closely innovations in the 50 states as Congress dawdles in partisan deadlock.


8. I resolve to blast Republicans who insist on more tax cuts without paying for the billions spent in Iraq and Afghanistan.


9. I resolve to mention a certain CNN commentator only by his initials—L.D.—if he continues with his so-called newscasts on immigration.


10. Finally, I wish all readers a happy and healthy New Year. For as my best pal, Chairman Bill Giles of the Philadelphia Phillies, often says: "Life is all about family and friends." He's right.
