			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sunday, 11:59pm<br />
Reno, NV</p>
<p>Howdy&#8230;</p>
<p>Quickie post here, cuz I&#8217;m a walking petri dish of germs.  There&#8217;s a slug of Nyquil sitting here with my name on it, and I&#8217;ll be worthless about three minutes after I slam it.</p>
<p><em>Gulp.</em></p>
<p>Done.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the post (while I can still type):  One of the grand traditions of year-end journalism is the round-up of &#8220;worst&#8221; lists.</p>
<p>I love &#8216;em all.</p>
<p>In truth, 2007 had some totally bitchin&#8217; highlights for me and my colleagues.  The gloom-and-doom mainstream media would prefer that we all become quivering masses of hysterical anxiety&#8230; but after you&#8217;ve been around the block as many times as I have, you get some perspective.</p>
<p>Things have been worse.  And they&#8217;ve been better.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s kinds how the world works.</p>
<p>Still&#8230; there are all these wonderful lists to enjoy.</p>
<p>So here&#8217;s a good one, in case you missed it.  Not your standard &#8220;celebrity eats own head&#8221; kind of material, either.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s literally a &#8220;worst of biz&#8221; 2007 list.  By Fortune magazine.</p>
<p>Read, enjoy, discuss:</p>

<p>Stay frosty&#8230; and don&#8217;t catch what I have&#8230;</p>
