Does the New Year have legs?

Tradition holds that the Old Year is the Old Man with the scythe, while the New Year is an infant in diapers. However, given the lack of any vital signs shown on this blog over several weeks, this image seems to be the harbinger of 2007 for Two Good Legs.

Let's review: the Democrats take over Congress, Rumsfeld is out, Negroponte moves over to State, and so far this year, Cheney hasn't shot anyone. Surely something there puts the itch to your little blogger fingers, eh?

On the other hand, maybe I need to pay more attention to the fad lists that come out about this time of year -- blogging - out, burrowing - in.
