We found it odd that the Associated Press, the sacred arbiter of journalism, with tentacles all over the globe, took so much interest in whether or not Tony Parker was sleeping with some random woman who wasn't Eva Longoria.

You might remember, toward the end of last year, when we reviewed each month of the past year leading up to New Years Day. We called it, imaginatively, "Year In Review." We continue today with December. We're finally done now; it's over. And enjoy the trip down the lane of diminishing memory!...
