Anyway, not all of these were posted in 2022, but they were the most read.
This year, we're doing reverse order.
No. 10 was early in 2022, and was about the truth of the Minsk Accords and related issues in the background to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the tussles that led up to that. (Well, not all the truth, as it turns out; it wasn't until early December that we learned German ex-Chancellor Angela Merkel had pushed them as a way to string Putin out while re-arming Ukraine from NATO stocks.)
No. 9? My hot take on platitudinous high school graduation speeches, both the student ones and the guest speaker ones.
No. 8 may involve eating crow. It was about the possibility, and more the desirability, of Phat Albert Pujols returning to St. Louis.
No. 7 is from way back in 2004 and started trending again late this summer and I have no reason why. It was about the Snooze, aka THE Dallas Morning News, pushing Shrub Bush to go further right with second-term Cabinet picks.
No. 6 is also old, but trending because it relates to the Jan. 6 committee and I goosed it. It's about felon Joey Dauben, updated with more of his comments about Ali Akbar, aka Ali Alexander.
No. 5 was also from the baseball preseason, in which I urged Cardinals head cheese John Mozeliak to sign Zach Greinke. Early hindsight made me want to retract and eat crow; later hindsight said that, his injury issues aside, it wouldn't have been a bad addition.
No. 4 was a series, not MAGAts, "just asking questions" about why don't we have non-mRNA boosters? Sadly, BlueAnon in general and People's CDC types in particular, choose not to address this issue, rather, just bitching about the Biden Administration and saying (at times) "masks forever" without proposing other constructive ideas. Like pushing the actual CDC for non-mRNA boosters. (Personal note: I got the Johnson and Johnson original and have never been boosted; and, per that post, I think the clotting death concerns over it are not THAT much less than the cardiomyopathy death concerns over mRNA shots.)
No. 3 was my first big piece about the Russia-Ukraine war. The Russian-Ukrainian linguistic division in left-bank Ukraine, Joe Stalin's role in setting Ukraine's boundaries and other issues of major relevance were all analyzed.
No. 2 was my highly irreverent chops-busting of Americans boo-hooing the death of Liz Windsor.
No. 1, like No. 7, was old, and started trending this summer, perhaps goosed by code in a Chinese-language comment that I since removed. It was about the Chevy Volt being an electric lemon.
