Seriously, when was the last time we had a news cycle like this? Or a year that started off as interestingly?

• Tunisia
• Egypt
• Bahrain
• Saudi Arabia
• Libya
• Earthquake/Tsunami
• Partial meltdowns
• Volcano
• Libyan intervention

And March isn’t even over yet. What’s next? Is this all just one big lead-in to the end of the world in 2012?

Also, see The Awl‘ s chart of topics going back to 2010.
