No I’m not about to break into a version of Ban-Ki-Moon is coming to town. Although naturally I’m sorely tempted. Instead let this serve as an interestingly little compilation of the many, many lists of 2006, and as a reminder that our lists are soon coming to town. Yes next week you’ll get to complete the oD 2006 quiz (exam?) – so get to work re-reading absolutely everything on the site! In the mean time you could also check out:  
  
[The best of Slate 2006](http://www.slate.com/id/2155814/nav/tap1/?ref=opendemocracy.net)– including the rather amusing [Five Best Political Moments](http://www.slate.com/id/2155724/?ref=opendemocracy.net) of 2006.  
  
The National Journals' [ruminations](http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16265019/?ref=opendemocracy.net) on a similar theme.   
  
Also Jon Stewart is happy to be Time Magazine’s [person of the year](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hgjEEN9cbY&ref=opendemocracy.net) – hold on I thought it was me?   
  
[Grist](http://gristmill.grist.org/story/2006/12/18/9480/4666?ref=opendemocracy.net) is pissed its not Al Gore,  
  
In contrast Salon’s person of the year is [S.R. ‘not Macaca’ Sidarth](http://www.salon.com/opinion/feature/2006/12/16/sidarth/?ref=opendemocracy.net).   
  
Adding to your sense of Winterval cheer is Foreign Policy’s 2006 List of Political Assasinations. http://www.foreignpolicy.com/story/cms.php?story\_id=3641  
  
Whilst CNET adds a little visual stimulation with 2006's [worst political mishaps](http://news.com.com/2300-1028%5F3-6134925-1.html?ref=opendemocracy.net) – put it away Katherine.   
Feeling gloomy I stumble away from politics and straight into Canongate’s list of 9 Body Parts you [didn’t know had names](http://www.canongate.net/Lists/FoodandHealth/9BodyPartsYouDidnTKnowHad?ref=opendemocracy.net).   
  
Also not necessarily regular oD territory, but music wise I swear by (or occasionally at) [Pitchfork’s 50 albums of 2006](http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/feature/40007/Staff%5FList%5FTop%5F50%5FAlbums%5Fof%5F2006?ref=opendemocracy.net). I still think TV on the Radio should be No: 1 though.
