I have no New Year’s Resolutions for myself, because I am perfect just the way I am. But I have a few for my blogroll.<\/p>\n
The 2 Blowhards<\/a> should resolve to lose the epistolary format, as the English novel managed to do about 200 years ago.<\/p>\n Colby Cosh<\/a> should resolve to write less well, and less frequently, to make me less envious. (He demurs<\/a>.)<\/p>\n Cinderella<\/a> must<\/em> resolve to stop reading The Guardian<\/span>.<\/p>\n Sasha Castel<\/a> should resolve to get married, and merge her blog, and move to England.<\/p>\n Steven Den Beste<\/a> should resolve to heed Pascal, and make his articles shorter because he has time. (Floyd McWilliams makes the same point<\/a>, but longer.)<\/p>\n AC Douglas<\/a> should resolve to be more peremptory and superior.<\/p>\n Gene Expression<\/a> should resolve not to shy away from controversial topics.<\/p>\n Mark Riebling<\/a> should resolve to stop changing the picture of himself<\/a>. You look mahvelous. Really. I mean that. (He has disregarded me already, a mere week into ought-three.)<\/p>\n The Man Without Qualities<\/a> should resolve to stop mixing italics with bold and bold italics, seemingly at random.<\/p>\n Eugene Volokh<\/a> should resolve to keep his nasty temper in check.<\/p>\n Those of you I missed, there’s still plenty of room for improvement, believe me. And thanks to all of you for all the great reading this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I have no New Year’s Resolutions for myself, because I am perfect just the way I am.
