As we ring out 2007, and ring in 2008, our bloggers are looking back on the year that was (goodbye "wide stance," bald Britney, juiced up ballplayers, Melamine-tainted pet food, recalled toys, heavily-armed school shooters, Karl Rove's historical revisionism, Miss Teen USA's views on education ("like such as..."), Bill Clinton's fears of "rolling the dice," Don Imus apologizing, Michael Vick apologizing, David Vitter apologizing, Marie Osmond dancing, Lindsay Lohan rehabbing, Alberto Gonzales testi-lying, Blackwater thugs, and fired US Attorneys) and looking ahead at the year to come (hello primaries, conventions, November 4, and the end of the Bush presidency), as well as offering up their New Year's resolutions.

2008, One Day at a Time
Rachel Kramer Bussel | Posted 12.31.2007 | Living
This year was a big one for me in many ways, but two of the biggest are that I stopped drinking alcohol and gave up my 4-6 liter-a-day Diet Coke habit.
For 2008: A Star-Spangled Banner Waving Somewhere
James Moore | Posted 12.31.2007 | Politics
The stars and stripes have been transformed from a symbol to a brand. In 2008, maybe we can raise our flag again guided by principle rather than political expediency.

I hope the Queen's people tell her hundreds of thousands of YouTube views are good. She doesn't have to know that dogs on diving boards get more attention than she does.

Humanity's habit of violence is counterintuitive to progress. Now more than ever we need a choice to leave the religion behind in favor of science and fact.
Release 0.9: A Different Take on New Year's Resolutions
Esther Dyson | Posted 12.31.2007 | Business
Most New Year's resolutions seem to be driven more by remorse than by determination... and they are usually the same resolutions you had a year ago. Remember?

New Year Revolutions
Joan Z. Shore | Posted 12.31.2007 | Politics
What has been happening this past year is deliberate and domestic; we cannot blame whimsical Mother Nature or wicked foreign terrorists. And so we sit back and kvetch.

May 2008 be for you what 2007 was for Martin Scorsese, Jordin Sparks, Harry Potter, Tina Fey, Forest Whitaker, Amy Adams, Amy Ryan, and Amy Winehouse (when not in rehab).
A Holiday Reflection: Charity or Justice?
Paul Abrams | Posted 12.31.2007 | Politics
We need to ask ourselves whether it takes a tragedy, where no human responsibility can be found and thus people feel a common humanity, to evoke a response.
The Year of The Dreamer
Jon Robin Baitz | Posted 12.31.2007 | Politics
Today, on the last day of a ruthless bitch of a year, I believe that our best hopes lie with Barack Obama. He is, in my opinion, a dreamer, an idealist, and our best hope to regain stature, pride, and to find a path to peace that is both lasting and fierce.

No one guessed when Nixon won we'd fallen down a rabbit hole we'd be 40 years climbing out of. In 2008 I know we can.
New Year's Letter from God
Jean Carnahan | Posted 12.31.2007 | Politics
Dear Creation, I want to clear up some things that have been troubling Me. There is a wicked and blasphemous rumor floating around the Universe that I Am a card-carrying Republican.

Robert Weissman | Posted 12.31.2007 | Business
Like every new year, 2008 offers renewed hope, and the chance for new beginnings. There really were some important gains in 2007 that suggest countervailing forces to concentrated corporate power are on the rise.

The idea that random processes could produce something as complex, beautiful, and varied as life is far more miraculous to me than anything written in any of the holy books.

I've lived with migraines for fourteen years and after trying every remedy under the sun I finally found something that helped ease the pain: words. They were written by Joan Didion in 1964.
