Best of 2006, January Through June

At the end of last year, I put together a list of the “Best of 2005,” just a collection of posts here at Consumerism Commentary that might stand out. There was no rhyme or reason to my selection. Needless to say, I’m very lenient with my definition of “best.”

We’re more than halfway through 2006, so I’ve compiled a similar list for January through June. Continue readining for a look back at 2006 so far.
