Best of the Year: 2008
>> 18 December 2008
This time of year, everyone starts making "Best of the Year" lists. Best movie, best TV show, best album, best haircut, etc. These lists are sort of nice; they give us the chance to look back and say, "Yes, some things happened this year that were different from other years." Let's get this out of the way, then:
- Best Movie, not about Batman: Wall-E (Seriously.)
- Best Movie, about Batman: The Dark Knight
- Best Album: "Fleet Foxes" by Fleet Foxes
- Best President of the United States: George W. Bush (Don't worry Obama, your* time will come)
- Best President-elect of the United States: Barack Obama (Told you your* time would come)
- Most irritating phrase: "lipstick on a ______" Pit bull, pig, you name it.
- Best Olympics: Summer, Beijing
- Best Thing-that-didn't-actually-happen: Scientists discover that cashews cure cancer.
*Disclaimer: I address Barack Obama in the second person, as if he were a reader of this e-blog. As far as I know, he does not read this e-blog, and the second person reference was a literary device only. I'm sorry if this was misleading for anyone.

Wall-E was excellent. So much better than I expected. I applaud Disney|Pixar for their willingness to make such a statement through a medium usually reserved for non-social issues.
