Now I Know Why Columnists Vacation
I’m learning the hard way why columnists and bloggers take vacations between Christmas and New Year’s… the same reason the rest of the world takes the week off. Nothing is happening.
I suppose I could do the same year in review stuff everybody does at New Year’s. But that would be completely and totally depressing given the horror of a year 2008 turned out to be.
I could write about the birth of Sarah Palin’s granddaughter. But that doesn’t strike me as real news, unlike the announcement of Bristol’s pregnancy.
I could comment on the handicapping already underway regarding the Republican nomination for President in ‘12. But isn’t it a little soon?
I’m deeply tempted by the website put up by a woman seeking to find a husband by 1-1-10. But too human interest-y for my tastes.
Gaza War? Done that. Besides, what I know about the Middle East these days could fit into a small thimble (not to mention a single blog entry).
Bailouts? I’m getting to the point I was in 1986 when I left politics after eight years in Washington: if I had to write one more speech about a balanced budget, I was going to throw up. Ditto for “rescue packages” today. Gotta give it a rest.
Blago? What more remains to be said? The guy’s got nerve. And hair (putting him way ahead of me).
Barry O? Hiding in Hawaii.
Dems stealing an election in Minny? What else is new?
Caroline? Yeah, yeah.
The good news is that I have a reservation to attend the debate among the candidates for the Republican National Committee chairmanship Monday. That at least should provide some drama.
But I think for now, I’m going to have some dinner and take a nap.
