New Year's Bits of Tid: HAPPY 2010!!

• I got a New Year's kiss at midnight... from Mom. We've liked to celebrate New Year's Eve together ever since I was in elementary school.
  
• Sorry to be such a grouch, but as I write this, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Steny Hoyer, Harry Reid, Carl Levin, Debbie Stabenow, Jennifer Granholm, Andy Dillon, Mike Prusi, and all the other elected Dems have done NOTHING for us THIS ENTIRE DECADE!! They're just like the Republicans in that regard! Why should I vote for them? {/sarcasm}
  
  Sorry, I couldn't resist. :-D
• In these economic times, let's be chillaxin' and have a bromance with the 2010 Banished Words List! It's an Obamalicious New Year's tradition that Lake Superior State University's language czars came up with in the 1970s. We could use this as a shovel-ready teachable moment that will surely be too big to fail.
• Even though we haven't persuaded her to move from Washington to Michigan (yet), many of us admire Darcy Burner for her courage and dedication to progressive ideals. Well, she's got a post on Daily Kos about her resolutions for the new decade. Perhaps you can adopt them for yourself.
• The bad news: One year from today, Jennifer Granholm will step down as Governor. The good news: Terri Lynn Land, Mike Cox, Mike Bishop, Andy Dillon, and others will also be out of their current offices. May they all be unemployed one year from now!
• I predict a World Series championship for the Tigers around the middle of this decade - despite losing Granderson. Also, the Lions will win a plaof game before January 1, 2020. You heard it here first.

HAPPY 2010!!!
