Rolling Stone Magazine ran its "people of the year" crapola in its most recent issue, available here.  I usually tend to avoid these year-in-review pieces; this year's been no exception, even with the painful, tragic collapse of the Yankees and the subsequent freezing over of hell that was the 2004 baseball season to look back on and celebrate.  This one's worth a click because they let a couple interesting people speak for themselves--some might call it "lazy" journalism, but I like the idea that the reporter asks relatively good questions and the subject answers them.  Barack, of course, got his two cents in... I have to say, if I didn't find him so incredibly genuine, I'd think he sounded like one arrogant junior Senator in this interview.  Once again, Happy New Year to the servers at Livejournal and the rest of the ether.

One of my New Year's Resolutions, by the way, is to reduce the --s,...s, and ""s in all of my writing by at least fifty percent.  Wish me luck...
