A Political Wish List for the Holidays

The retail stores, despite the greatest economic slump since the Great Depression (we are told), were busy this weekend. There are plenty of sales, but the important things I could hope for can’t be found, discounted or not, on store shelves. Aside from good health and world peace, my list would include some items that feature extra helpings of political nostalgia and just desserts.

I’d like a ban on “whither conservatism?” — and also “more or less God?” — columns. At some point pundits really need to get out of the way and let political leaders (ah, the people who run races and govern) find their own way. It matters not at all whether Kathleen Parker wants less religiosity. It matters much more whether Bobby Jindal can balance budgets and create a political following. Pundits really don’t pick the 2012 frontrunners; the voters do — in three years. (So ditto on the Sarah Palin “savior or curse?” missives. She’ll sink or swim on her own merits.)
