I'm pretty sure that 87% of all writers and bloggers begin their year-end recaps with some statement like "It's hard to believe that 2011 is almost gone!" or "Can you believe 2012 is only two days way?!" That thought occurred to me because I almost started this post with the same damn thing, but then it occurred to me, it's really not that hard to believe that the year is ending. Is anyone really surprised by this event? Sure, the days go by faster than they did when we were in school or whatever, but New Year's Day consistently takes place once every 365 or 366 days. To act surprised by this would mean you're either dumb or don't comprehend time, which in all honesty, doesn't sound like that bad of a thing.
Anyway, we've decided to countdown the top Oklahoma news stories of 2011. Today we are going to feature 20 — 11. Tomorrow we will review the top 10.
