1. Well... I'm guessing Kim K's big wedding must have knocked it off the list...

Priorities...ya know.

2. I agree it seems odd, but I'm glad it didn't.

3. But really...

It was a gigantic story when it happened.

One of those stories that you know where you were when you heard it.

6. Not for me. Not at all. I couldn't tell you where I was, don't care either.

Don't even see that it's going to make any difference at all in anything. We'll still be fighting this ridiculous "War on Terror," for the next century, just like getting Noreiga or any of the drug cartel or tyrants never seems to end that War on Drugs.

Another bad guy is dead, someone will take his place and we will foolishly continue to spend billions, nay trillions of dollars of wars and their industrial complexes.

4. Yes, that was quite a surprise. I also would have put the tornados higher.

"Freak weather" doesn't quite do it. "Global warmiing consequences" would have been better.

5. This is a fun related page. All kinds of top ten lists. Top Ten Pat Robertson Gaffes

and more.

How fun.

7. What about the eurozone mess?

Seems to me it was one of the biggest stories of the year. Or is Europe too exotically foreign to be included?
