New Year Wishes

Apologies in advance, but here are some “New Year” wishes to share. (Each sentence begins with the phrase “I wish that by the end of 2007…”)

I wish that by the end of 2007 that Chicago will be still celebrating a World Series on the north side.

I wish that by the end of 2007 that Chicago will be gearing up for a second Super Bowl.

…that the United States economy will have some real growth that benefits all segments of society and not the artificial growth that only benefits a small percentage as we have seen in recent years.

…that Detroit continues to have a great Labor Day Jazz festival and that I’ll get the chance to be there.

…that people will remember that religion is a personal belief and not a contact sport.

…that people will remember that a difference of opinion does not entitle you to curse, condemn and/or show disrespect to those with whom you disagree.

…that people will recognize that “The New Adventures of Old Christine” is one of the funniest sitcoms on the air.

…that people will recognize “The Office” as well.

…that TV networks will go easy on stop with the dangerous reality programs, such as those that give badges to D-List performers.

…that more people will listen to public radio stations on a regular basis.

…that more people will be involved in their communities, on any level.

…that Donald Trump will stop picking fights before a new season of his reality show is about to start.

…that Paul McCartney and his ex-wife will stop bickering in public.

...that Carlos Zambrano will have signed a long-term contract with the Chicago Cubs.

…that Barack Obama will announce his intentions to run for President.

…that Mitt Romney does not announce his intentions to run for President.

…that people will not be sick and tired of the 2008 Presidential race, which will be one of the most important of our lifetime.

…that Jimmy Fallon gets a star turn in a great movie.

…that people realize that Fred Armison is the funniest cast member currently on Saturday Night Live (with apologies to Darrell Hammond).

…that Kurt Vonnegut will publish another book.

…that our people return home from Iraq.

…that the people from the United Kingdom and other countries return home as well.

…that President Bush will admit that he and his team were wrong and are sorry.

…that you will have had a safe and happy year!
