And as the Opinion Page finally docks at the port of…
OK, forget it. That opening was pretentious, anyway.
We've been through a semester filled with thrills, budget chills and "Horowitz!" Yet, we've finally reached the end of the line. Finals have reared their ugly head, and it becomes time to finally put our collective noses to the grindstone. Our only opinion here is one we're sure you'll agree with — we're too stressed!
However, there is a bit of business to wrap up before we leave for the semester. The Opinion Page loses a treasured fixture with the departure of columnist Mike Hahn, who will no doubt be raking in the dough after his highly publicized boxing match with Sen. Judy Robson. But the rest of the news is good, as we're happy to invite new columnists Ryan Greenfield, Suchita Shah and David Lapidus on board for next semester's foray into local politics.
However, let us not pretend like we're checking out completely. In the midst of all this rest and relaxation, we're formulating plans for expanded online content and an ambitious project that will blow you away or anger you greatly. Either way, our plans for expansion have just begun and our theme weeks were just a sampling of the debate we plan to spark next semester.
But for the time being, it's high time we mosey on out. So, for all of us here at the Opinion Page, merry _______ and a happy New Year.8 Comments | Leave a comment

Also, bring me more of Suchita. And I guess Lapidus too. Maybe they can plot a county board race together.
Your use of "y'all" is gramatically incorrect; that's the SINGULAR form. The PLURAL form is "all y'all"
Suchita Shah -- shes the hot topic. what will she write about next?
As if she needs another soapbox....
I'll be interested to see how Mike Hahn's face reconstruction goes over winter break. He thinks he can look like Reagan, but I think it's unlikely.
The only soapbox Suchita has is the one to make her look taller. I don't know what you're talking about, 11:57
oh suchita. the tokenized poc for the dems. suchita for emperor!
Y'all is necessarily plural. 'You' can certainly be plural, but in this case, it must be. Would it make any sense to say 'all' if you were referring to one person?
'All y'all' is totally redundant. Get with it!
