Newseater - Adult Edition

We were going to do a list of our top five favorite vids from this year except honestly we are list-exhausted. So instead we’re just posting our very favorite, which never fails, no matter how often we watch it, to make us laugh. Other than that we’d like to remind you for the last time this year that we have job boards (what better way to start the new year than with a job!) but also to wish you all a happy and safe and better New Year. See you in 2009.

More lists! Maybe itemizing things makes the terrible year media we just suffered easier to bear. Also it’s a fun way to fill the time between now and opening the champagne. Anyway, here’s the final installment:

• Rex Sorgatz has put together a very smart list of this year’s most notable blogs. Parts of which made us wonder if we spend enough time on the Internet! The list includes the notable likes of, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Nate Silver, NYT.com, Kanye West, Ana Marie Cox, and something called Single Serving Blogs — Rex explains it all here!

• Twitter! And lots of it, in the form of the top twenty Twitter posts of 2008.

• Over at TVNewser you can take your pick of any number of lists and polls. In fact you might call it a list and poll bonanza! We’re not kidding, go see for yourself.

• Meanwhile over at Galley Cat, you can find a round-up of 2008 stories divided into months. Seriously industrious.

• Andrew Sullivan is posting the winners of the 2008 Daily Dish Awards.

• Of course if none of this will suffice, there is always George Bush’s reading list.

• And speaking of reading lists, here’s a sort of list of memoirs that didn’t make it past the ever vigilant guardians of the publishing world.

New Career Opportunities Daily: The best jobs in media

They don’t call them classics for nothing! Twice this week we’ve noticed writers comparing storylines from our favorite Christmas movies to the current economic crisis. First in last week’s Times where Wendell Jamieson noted that in real life George Bailey could have been jailed(!) for losing all of Bedford Fall’s money (the not very wonderful bank run scene is after the jump). And today John Carney examines how Scrooge’s banking philosophy led to the panic of 1847. Bah humbug!

Be that as it may, we here at FishbowlNY are in the (real) Christmas spirit and would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, and we will see you again next week.
