IT IS RESOLVED… — by Steve Nadis
I’ve never been big on New Year’s resolutions. They’ve always seemed phony to me. And contrived. (Though that may be the same thing.) But I have no problem making resolutions for this blog. In fact, I believe there is not enough of that sort of thing in the blogosphere. What then shall I resolve for Call Me Snake? One thing I’d like to see is more openness. More transparency (which again might be the same thing.) Flubberwinkle complained, for example, that our bumper sticker contests and other competitions seemed to be “rigged.” That was sobering to hear and led to much soul-searching. You can be sure we’re all working very hard to address that issue. To give you an idea, one strategy we’re batting around is to bar any family members of Call Me Snake from winning these contests. (Being a runner’s up or earning honorable mention, however, would still be allowed.) There are any of a number of things I could resolve for Call Me Snake. Rest assured that I am exploring various possibilities as we speak. I should have these policies ready shortly–just in time for 2008.

Given this morning’s news–that Bush’s new “plan” calls for even more troops in Iraq–I think the best resolution we could all make this year is to pressure our government as much as possible to end this stupid, stupid war.
Excellent point, Gatemouth. That is, I’m sure, a more important resolution than closing loopholes on CMS contests (though you may have been an unwitting beneficiary of said loopholes).
