The Best and Worst of Everything for 2008

After several hours of searching, I have skimmed the surface of various Top Lists and Best Lists for 2008. It seems everyone is a critic, wants to be a critic or just want to infer superiority in their judgement. Opinions vary from one end of the spectrum to the other. This is not require reading, but some are very interesting and funny..some are crap.
