This week we said goodbye to 2015, a year that definitely could have been improved upon. And since resolutions are easier to make for others than for ourselves, here are a few we'd like to see for 2016: President Obama: To borrow from another political leader (the Emperor Palpatine) to give into your anger and use it to do something about gun control. Ben Carson: To go back to brain surgery. Jeb Bush: To stop trying to kick the football every time Donald Trump holds it out for you. And, after finally dropping out of the race, to devote yourself to remaking the Republican Party. Americans: To not give into fear by giving up your core values and principles. For all of us: To get more sleep, so we can be healthier, more creative, more productive and make better decisions in 2016 than we did in 2015.
