In honor of the end of the passing of another year, I will join the ranks of internet lists everywhere for a year end round up. The internet, although good for lolcats and checking to see if your friends have changed their status to single, but occasionally there is something on the internet that will make a difference, intellectually. Although OBVI the best pop culture writing you can read on the web is right on the site you are on, but many of these come very close. Happy reading!
