Farewell, 2010

Kids of all ages may enjoy Crayola's free New Year's Bag of Fun Coloring Page, where this post's drawing was obtained.

Candidates' announcements for the Republican nomination will come soon. Sarah Palin doesn't have much more time to milk the will-she-or-won't-she attention cow. Her name doesn't appear on general election voters' short list of potential presidents, and she has angered Republicans by blaming the economy's problems on Reagan and the Bushes, so her best bet may be to announce she's running as an independent, then continue to hiss and spit at everyone and everything, from Twitter and Facebook, until November 2012. Will she run for real in 2016?

Do I have any resolutions for 2011? No, but I hope to improve the blog (and my writing).

Will I be partying tonight? No, I'll have to be at work early tomorrow morning and must have my wits about me.

But Happy New Year! nonetheless.


Bonus: The NY Times' The Caucus blog looks at 2010's political revisionism. It features Sarah Palin's 'refudiate' and has the history of the word's origin. No, it wasn't a typo.

Voila!
