I don't get it

Things I don't get that everyone else seems to like:

1. Arrested Development (weird people and not a single character I can relate to)
2. Curb Your Enthusiasm (Larry David is annoyed by picayune things. Lather, rinse, repeat.)
3. American Idol (Marx was wrong. TV is the opiate of the masses and this is the Greater East India Company of the whole shebang)
Survivor (when they give them weapons and it's winner take all, call me)
Season's/Grottos (abominations both)
Light Beer (you need to seriously reexamine your life if you're male and drinking this crap)
The Rolling Stones (They should have stopped them dead in their tracks after Undercover was released)
Rita's Water Ice (C'mon people, it's just frozen sugar water)
The latest/greatest cellphone (I use mine for work and the occasional personal call)
Ringtones (enough. Put is on vibrate already)
Text messaging (it has it's place but sending me Anna Karenina on my cellphone is not going to endear me to you)
Black license plates (have you nothing better to spend your money on)
Golf (If I want to spend 3 hours outside trying to enjoy myself a maddening game isn't what I'm going to do)


more as I can think of them

You may not be cynical enough to appreciate Arrested Development. (Imagine, I'm saying that to a New Yorker.) You're not supposed to relate to them, as much as laugh at them.

I love Season's, but agree on Grotto's.

The rest of the list (other than Curb Your Enthusiasm, which I've never seen) I completely agree on.

I concur with everything but golf (although if it gets as maddening as it can get, I just leave the course).

I can't understand why anyone likes Rita's tasteless stuff. However, I do like Curb Your Enthusiasm. Not enough to watch it regularly, though.

iPods indeed. They're nice and they have their place but people, take them out of your ears once in a while. There's a whole world going on around you.

Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project

Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project . Thank God they're going after this guy. He's been so brazen with his porkbarreling and the whiff of corruption around him has been ripe enough to smell from here. I'd rather have a 100% democrat run Congress if they were ethical. Term limits. One term for Senate, two for the House, one for the President. Some fear that would increase the power of lobbyists. Simple, ban any former members from being lobbyists and limit lobbyists to terms as well. (I'm not sure how that would work. Just a thought.) The other answer is transparency. No earmarks without a floor vote. No spending of any kind without a floor vote. All spending committees (intelligence aside) open to the public and recorded and available on the web.

First, fourth, what's the difference?

Black Pope could follow Barack Obama's election, says US archbishop : "The election of Barack Obama as the first African-American US President could pave the way for the election of the first black Pope, according to a leading black American Catholic." Except that we've had three black Popes already. The last one was 1700 years ago. You'd think he know that. I knew we had them in the past. It took me all of .000048 seconds on Google to find that out.
