Think your New Year's resolution is cool? San Francisco's city supervisor Chris Daly has almost certainly got you beat: He's vowed to drop an F-bomb at every remaining Board of Supervisors meeting for the rest of his term, which ends in January 2011.

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Daly made his New Year's resolution official by announcing it to the rules committee last week and then reiterating it on his Facebook page, writing "For 2010, I vow to use the word 'f---' in each of my remaining Board of Supervisors meetings."

That oughta liven up those mind-numbingly stale bored board meetings, right? Apparently, the idea for the New Year's resolution came from a desire to make the meetings more exciting is at least a part of the motivation behind Daly's quest to add some color to the city government's dialog. Will this New Year's resolution fall by the wayside in February just like any other less cool New Year's declaration?

According to the Chronicle, San Francisco Board President David Chiu contacted Daly immediately when he heard about his profane resolution. In order to drive home his displeasure with Daly's linguistic commitment, Chiu bought a bar of soap and delivered it personally to Daly's office.

As president, Chiu could potentially put the kibosh on Daly's New Year's resolution -- the president has the power to remove anyone exhibiting "insolent behavior" from the chamber. So far, though, Chiu hasn't issued any formal challenge to Daly's right to swear. Other than the bar of soap.

One thing's for sure, this isn't the first time that Daly has made a splash with his colorful language. In December, he reportedly let loose with an "f-ing a-hole," during a meeting with the police chief.

As a father of two, Daly apparently is trying his best to keep the F-bombs in the bomb bay at home. At board meetings, however, he finds the word completely appropriate. According to the Chronicle, Daly claims that there's virtually no chance of his profanity being overheard by children watching the meetings -- because the meetings are far too boring to hold anyone's attention.

While I might not go so far as to call Daly "brave" for resolving to intentionally drop F-bombs at City Hall, I think he may be onto something here. Traditionally, people make New Year's resolutions that pretty much set themselves up for failure. For example, how many people resolve to lose weight or get in shape, only to phase out their resolutions by early spring?

What if people resolved to do something that they already expected to do, but hoped they'd fail at, like an anti-resolution -- e.g. "in 2010, I will eat myself into major discomfort no less than five times." Then, if you fell short of your resolution (like usual), you'd feel like you'd accomplished something.

What do you think: Is 2010 the Year of the F-bomb? Or should Chris Daly have his mouth washed out with that bar of soap?
