Do Just Enough Evil.

As always a bit behind, I've been working on resolutions for 2006. First you need a theme for the year, then the resolutions follow. Thanks, then, to the folks at Google for helping me find the theme for 2006!

The company that says their motto is "do no evil" has found a way to support the wanton repression of the Chinese government. Leave it to the Googleplex geniuses to figure out how to attenuate evil.

“We actually did an evil scale and decided not to serve at all was worse evil,” said Google Inc. CEO Eric Schmidt.

Worse evil. Next they'll be working on a way to be a little pregnant. (Another innovation in service to the Chinese government, perhaps?)

So is 2006 to be the year of just enough evil? Will that be how I finally get the remodel started? Perhaps. Will it be the Democrats' secret weapon to recover in the midterm elections? Not sure if just enough evil can prevail in the face of overwhelming evil. (Yes, modifying absolutes is addictive.)

Let's just hope this theme for the Year of the Dog doesn't bite us in the ass.
