The WaPo starts the new year as it ended the old one: hackishly

Broder: Janet Napolitano exudes quiet confidence and she's really competent. She's my kind of "run down the middle" pol.

Krauthammer: Napolitano is a fool and an incompetent and Obama's linguistic war on the word "war" will get us all killed.

Kristol: Because Thomas Jefferson said a lot of stuff about the evil of tyranny, Obama has to do something about Iranian internal unrest.

"Shorter" is the trademark of blah, blah, blah...I am aware of all internet traditions.

Happy New Year.
