Countdown to Noah's "12 Days of Christmas Scorn"

Um, no, this isn't quite what Noah's got up his sleeve.

If you were with us last holiday season, you'll recall that it took Noah three installments to do his year-end review, "2008, A Year on Steroids," Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3, which consisted in large part of settling accounts with many of the all-too-usual suspects who had done so much to make the year what it was.

This year he's stored up enough holiday lack-of-cheer to undertake a full "12 Days of Christmas Scorn," which will kick off -- like the 12 Days of Christmas themselves -- on Christmas Day and then run up to Epiphany. Piling on to the objects of his scorn will be welcome, and if by chance he misses any particular objects of your scorn, consider it your duty to turn the rat(s) in. So watch this space starting Friday. -- Ken
