 Outside the Beltway 

BAH, HUMBUG!

Robert Garcia Tagorda wonders what the big deal is:

I’ve never understood how the New Year’s significance reaches the level of a noteworthy holiday. For Pete’s sake, it marks a temporal inevitability. Isn’t that a rather pitiful excuse for throwing streamers and otherwise acting a fool?

About the Author: James Joyner is the publisher of Outside the Beltway and the managing editor of the Atlantic Council. He's a former Army officer, Desert Storm vet, and college professor with a PhD in political science from The University of Alabama. He lives just outside the Beltway in Alexandria, Virginia.

It's like birthdays, though: when one considers the alternative, it's a great thing to celebrate. Party on, brothers and sisters.
