\"\"This is the time of year when print, television, radio, and online journalists take a break from the serious business of passing on corporate and government propaganda in order to put together “Best of 2011” lists.<\/p>\n

I thought about making a list of my best blog posts for 2011, but who am I to say what my best posts are?\u00a0 That’s up to you, and your mileage may vary.\u00a0 Some of the things I treasure most will be the very things you treasure least.<\/p>\n

Instead, I’m going to pick out my favorite post titles from 2011.\u00a0 If there’s one thing I’ve learned from blogging, it’s that naming a post is often more work than writing it.\u00a0 And who knows, a post’s title may sometimes be more important than what’s in it.\u00a0 The inset graphic at the left, by the way, is “Adam Naming the Animals,” religious art from the 12th century.<\/p>\n
