Bye-bye to the first decade of the 21st century. Surprisingly, I don’t have much to say about the passing of 2010. The year had a few highlights, but many more low points, in public life. You can read about them at any news site of your choice.

I have some hope for a better 2011, but there is not much reason to think our pols will get their act together on governing in an intelligent way. I am looking forward to the 9th Circuit’s decision in Perry v. Schwarzenegger, the California Proposition 8 appeal.

To the few of you reading this, best wishes for a Happy New Year.
