Lego blocks were banned by progressives, Che's hair was for sale and Sheryl Crow urged (almost) giving up toilet paper.

    USA is the only country in the world to have actually used weapons of mass destruction - Atom bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki .

    Leftists are so silly. To ridicule them mercilessly, all one needs to do is quote them.
    Then they get mad and call you names for quoting them.

    No Tom, I'm afraid ol' George would probably write in a candidate, probably George W. Bush, since he is such an admirer. Will shoulda been put out to pasture during the second Reagan Administration, his 15 minutes are long past, and the Sheryl Crow thing is just maliciously passing on information he has to know is not true. But George Will hasn't dealt with truth in any of his articles since the first Reagan Administration...

    George Will is so lame, that if he voted in the Dewmocratic Primary, he would vote for Hillary!

    Comment: Once again a clever and witty look back at the liberal climate; funny for those with a sense of humor...."coudn't you find anything positive" and "an empty summary" from the left he taunts. Sad but true instances in our unbelievable PC society.

    As a resident of Washington, I remember reading about the Lego's ban in a Seattle Day Care Center. I thought it to be the most blatant interference by Democratic control freaks to try and dictate what children's imagination should or shouldn't do. Washingtonians were outraged and Maria Cantwell and Patty Murray got plenty of grief over this. I'm not a great fan of South Park but their Season premiere was right on the money. Imagination is under attack. You have no idea how relieved I am to hear that somebody named their child Wrigley! Never underestimate the power of one, single, good deed. Thank you for your words on Ron Paul.

    Gosh, couldn't you find anything positive about '07?

    Anecdotes are not data. Thanks for a clever, yet empty summary of the year.

    One of my joys for the past twenty years or so has been reading George Will's End of Year summation column-once again it is funny, insightful, cutting, and it contains some surprises--Great job

    I normally like Will's columns, but not this Andy Rooney style snooze. It reminds me that Will wrote the single most boring book on baseball ever. If he wants to kill teenage lust, he should write a book about sex.

    Sometimes Mr. Will, you hit 'em out of the ballpark. I really liked this one. Would you consider doing a comparison of Keith Obermann and Bill O'Reilly? Long-time fan and one of the working poor in America. --Jeff

    Ah, I love knowing just how far and down we are all falling. Thanks, Mr. Will for this yearly update.

    I think that Cheryl Crow's idea of a limit of one square of toilet paper should be implemented immediately in Washington DC. Maybe then our elected officials will be a little more cognizant of the amount of effluent they are producing.

    McCain would augment America's military committment to the Middle East, which is exactly what this country desperately needs at this time: another, bigger, more dangerous war. With John McCain, we are guaranteed that our armed forces will be engaged in an attack and long term bloody occupation of Iran- a country 4 times more populous than Iraq and with a much better equipted army. It will be well worth it though, since our entire nation will be full engulfed in an herculean effort that will be sure to bring the country together in a single unifying cause.

    We are in big trouble extremist and children of moderates all around the world are being seduced by the chapter of JIHAD. If you look at the Madrassa's they are brainwashing futre genereations in that region with the chapter of JIHAD. IT is like subliminal indoctrination. This is very dangerous. THEY ARE TEACHING THE CHILDREN TO FIGHT JIHAD FOR one hundred years. Obama is the only candidate that can change antiamericanism in that region. It just feels right voting for OBAMA

    Ever a beacon of occidental values:capital punishment, endless war, predatory capitalism, environmental depredation--George Will has got it going on!

    Baseball -- whatever its travails -- still provides a much more diverting sporting experience that watching the English House of Lords in action. And if I, in London, can appreciate Mr. Will's references both to our peerage as well as to your 'national past-time', I do not think that it should overly tax an American's memory, to say nothing of his or her curiosity, to attempt the same.

    Rizzuto who? Why does Mr. Will always have to finish up by mentioning players of a dead sport? He might as well have written the piece in Sanskrit.
