1. Democracy Inaction
Year's "Best" (i.e. most riveting, most to win and lose, etc.)
Election: Iranian Presidential Farce. Go Green!
Year's Worst Election: Bigotry Triumphs in Maine.
2. Tellythang
Best: Several episodes running up to (but not including) the season finale of True Blood, tied with incredible performance by Chloe Sevigny throughout the entire season of Big Love.
Worst TV: Cable News. Any. All. Yes, I'm also looking at YOU, BBC, for the helicopter footage of Tiger Woods' empty driveway for goodness knows how long, while ignoring real news. Shame.
3. Music
Best: Other than any and all things Radiohead or Josh Homme-related, I wasn't paying attention. Did I miss anything good?
Worst: Everything I was unfortunate enough to hear coming from cars, radios and other public airwaves. And Kanye West. Him being an ass makes me feel no guilt about hating that annoying fucking thing I heard booming from Church Avenue all year. Yuck.
Best Live Show - Them Crooked Vultures, fo sho. Like being reborn...
Worst Live Show - The Amazingly Overhyped Handclap Borefest. Zzzzz.
4. Random
Best Pint - McCarthy's Pub, Dingle, Ireland
Best Wine and Cheese Fridays - George and Jana's office
Best Brunch - Chicken Fried Steak at Two Boots with Tara behind the bar, any time.
Best Road Trip - Ireland, of course, with Maine a very respectable second place.
Best Dessert - Chocolate pudding at 12th Street Bar. Wow. It was really unbelievable.
5. Big Finale
Best All Around: Traveling and having fun with friends.
Worst All Around: The lionizing of Micheal Jackson. You have GOT to be kidding me.
