Best Of 2006 Per Mr. Kool Robbie
Sometimes the snow comes down in June
Sometimes the sun goes around the moon
I see the passion in your eyes
Sometimes it's all a big surprise
'Cause there was a time when all I did was wish
You'd tell me this was love
It's not the way I hoped, or how I planned
But somehow it's enough
But now we're standing face to face
Isn't this world a crazy place?
Just when I thought a chance had passed
You go and save the best for last
That’s right folks. I’ve saved the best for last... me. And my opinions, which are obviously, yes that’s right... the best (which I have saved for last). So, here goes nothin’ (literally and disfiguratively speakin')...

POP CULTURE STORY OF THE YEAR:
Let’s see, we had the seemingly never-ending trailer trash escapades of K-Fed and Britney which culminated in the world premier of her bald beeve and c-section scar (YES!! I mean, yes?), Boratmania, The OJ book/no book, the Mark Foley scandal, Tommy Hilfiger beating up Axl Rose, Michael Richards’ insane racist meltdown and even creepier Letterman apology segment, Sam Craighead getting addicted to weed, Tom Hanks’ Da Vinci haircut, Lance Bass’ gay old time, everyone hating on David Blaine, Mel Gibson and Danny DeVito drinking way too much (or so they said), all the various adoptions by Angelina and Madonna, that wacky Tom Cruise and his force-fed scientology love-slave captive Katie Holmes and their new baby Zorat, the five-year anniversary of 9/11, the Unholy Two, Rosie v. The Donald, Pluto being stripped of its planetary status and the deaths of James Brown, Robert Altman, Don Knotts, Ed Bradley, Jack Palance, Steve Irwin, Arthur Lee, Red Buttons, Syd Barrett, Slobodan Milosevic, Aaron Spelling, Chris Penn, Lou Rawls, Kirby Puckett and CBGB’s (among others).
But at the end of the day, Stephen Colbert's near heroic White House Press Correspondents' Dinner speech was not only poignant and hilarious, but for me it was clearly the highlight pop culture story of the year. Let’s face it, if this year’s elections would have gone any other way than they did, I’m pretty sure most of us would have crawled into a tight little corner and ate a pound of Xanax and cried for at least the next two years. But, once the ballots were counted it proved that even a good majority of Republicans were sick of Gee Dub’s asinine shit. We all wanted to be the one dogging him out, but having our good friend Stephen do it kept us off that pesky FBI watch list. Still we all lived vicariously through him that one glorious evening (or whenever it was that you watched it on YouTube) and thus it was each and every one of us dressed in that dapper tux, dropping those weapons of mass joke bombs. Each and every one of us was smart and stylish and virile and funny as fuck! You know what? Screw it! My favorite pop culture story of the year was when I roasted the president at the White House Press Correspondents' Dinner. I was so friggin’ awesome! Didn’t you think? Wow, thanks. I was pretty great. We’ll have to do this again next year! Yeah, I do smell pretty good –- thanks for noticing -- it’s Old Spice. Call me.
2007: CRANK IT UP, MAN! IT’S GONNA BE A DOOZER, I MEAN A BOOZER, I MEAN A DOOZY!!
I mean the NDA will dominate.
