Pam Thinks This: My Very Own Out/In List

Pam Thinks This:  My Very Own Out/In List

By: Pam Taylor

I like lists.  Always have.  Nonetheless I have often wondered who anoints those at the end of each year with predicting what is no longer vogue and who/what will be the coming year’s attractions.  This year, I decided just as the many prognosticators who preceded me to anoint myself.  Some of my trends look pretty positive; sadly I can’t say, “It’s all good.”

OUT−2010	IN−2011
Barack Obama	Bo Obama
Bike Lanes	Dog Parks
Compromise	Outnumbered
Lasts a Lifetime	Magic Moment
Democrats	Republicans
Republicans	Tea Party
Tea Party	Coffee Hour
Sign of the Times	Is What It Is
Hire the Handicapped the Handicapped	Hire the Formerly  Incarcerated
Be Good	Be Well*
