CURMUDGEON'S LISTS
It is one of the tricks of lazy journalists and bloggers everywhere to simply draw up lists of one sort or another -- in the hopes that the debate about those lists will obscure the fact that the writer really didn't come up with much in the way of original thoughts that day. So here are a few lists of mine.
