1. The shootings at Virginia Tech
2. The U.S. home mortgage crisis
3. The war in Iraq
4. Rising oil prices
5. Recalls of Chinese toys and other products
6. Global warming
7. The Minneapolis bridge collapse
8. The Presidential campaign
9. The immigration debate
10. The Iranian nuclear program
What do you think of this list? What would you add or subtract? Personally, I'd move global warming and the Presidential campaign up a few notches. Also, the AP list came out before the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, which I'd definitely say makes the top 10 stories of the year.
The order is subjective but here's my list (bamboo - 12/29/2007 11:30:34 PM)
1) war in Iraq
2) Va Tech shootings
3) Prez campaign
4) Home mortgage crisis
5) corruption/abuse of power in Washington (GOP)
6) Global warming
7) Iran
8) Bhutto assassination
9) Recall of Chinese toys....
10) Immigration debate
List (Gordie - 12/30/2007 1:19:23 AM)

10. Immigration, Collapse of Minneapolis Bridge, Complete failure to handle our Domestic Problems, Bush Veto of SCHIP Twice, For VA; The funding of Transportation, VA Democrats Taking control of Senate, Failure to Impeach Bush and Cheney
Can't decide which one rates for the number 10 spot, plus the list goes on.
The AP is out with its list of top news stories for 2007. Here's the list:
