You won’t see me out tonight wearing a pointy hat and blowing some noisemaker or rattling one.

To me, today is just the end of another month and tomorrow will be the start of a new one.

I’ve been the reveling route before and nothing is worse than spending the first day of the month regretting the way you spent the last night of the month.

I have Netflix and I believe there is some sort of football on so there will be no regrets Tuesday.

Speaking of regrets, however, there are a few in the column area that I never got to or didn’t have enough material to cover.

1. Rob Parker and his now infamous cornball brother tirade about Robert Griffin III. Essentially the ESPN analyst questioned Griffin’s blackness because he has a white fiancée and, dread of all dread, may have Republican leanings.

As a Redskins fan and admirer of Griffin, my idea would be to reconstruct the grounded quarterback into what Parker expected him to be — namely someone like Dez Bryant who requires a team of a babysitters around him to monitor his behavior or someone who shoots himself with a concealed weapon in a club.

Personally, as a fan, I’ll take a cornball brother any day over an idiot.

2. Person of the year. I actually had a column all written and at the last minute kind of lost my nerve.

The Reader’s Digest abridged version goes as follows:

Mitt Romney has been selected as rrspin’s first person of the year because no other candidate mirrored the sheer apathy of the nation’s voters or the shamefulness that has become politics.

Reports coming out of the Boston Globe show Romney had no desire to run for the nation’s highest elected office yet did so, duping millions of gullible voters who were so certain he would win, repair the nation’s economy and get the country back on track.

Instead of simply stating he did not want the office, he continued to run an inept campaign, taking with this stump of lies any chance of an electable candidate from the Republican Party stepping forward to give President Obama a run for his money and perhaps winning.

The arrogance of the Romney campaign left the pathway blocked for Ron Paul and his revolution of liberty and Constitution and, in our opinion, left the Republican Party in shambles and in dire need of an overhaul.

3. The fiscal cliff. Ron Paul warned us about the fiscal cliff before it was cool to talk about the fiscal cliff. That’s why Ron Paul would be my first choice for rrspin’s person of the year if I didn’t find myself in such a cynical mood over Mitt Romney and Rob Parker.

4. Unlikely predictions for 2013 that include the Republican Party overhauling itself and that the Redskins make it deep in the playoffs. The Redskins making it deep in the playoffs could be more reality than a Republican Party overhaul because we have that cornball brother leading the team.

Other than that, if you’re going to put on a pointy hat tonight or rattle a noisemaker, do so responsibly. Don’t be a cornball brother or sister. Happy New Year — Lance Martin
