Change is good...that's what I keep telling my colleagues. It's difficult and hard. It's challenging and rewarding. It's fraught with peril. It needs to be done...yesterday!

What are your top twenty?
Just visiting, but I love these.
patricia, I thought you were hammering. Or something.
A Freaking MEN! :P

Pawed!
Agreed on 20 out of 20.
Nutrisystem commercials. Nancy Grace. Global warming. 2016 Olympics - I'll probably be dead before 2016.

oh wow, this will be fun!!! thank you for the distraction from my bipolar 2 depression. shit, Oprah and her money, Tyra Banks, Glenn Beck, Mitt Romney -- i worked for him. that was enough, polygamy except for on Big Love, i'm a cat person, Palin to the nth power of course, face transplants -- glad they exist but Yuck!, have to think some more. love love lvoe and gratitude! so many many many things.
erectile dysfunction!
I agree with you, except for Dancing With the Stars. But then...I'm a retired dancer and still a part time dance teacher, so have some excuse for that.
They're so close to yours that it's not even worth mentioning---I gotta know about health care ---cause it cost so much money I don't have and it's so shameful the way it's set up. . .wait I'd replace it with Glen Beck.
Great list Sheepy. I'll add: anything from the mouth of Suze Orman; eat less and exercise more; socialism; Bank of America; swine flu; and any "news" meant for the sole purpose of increasing fear among Americans.
AMEN!! I couldn't agree with you more..
What will people talk about? Great post!
I dunno... if Rush takes Paris home for the night... I wanna hear about that... ;)
1 and 2 for the win. Please people stop talking about them!! :)

Also, just stopped by to say WELCOME BACK MR. SHEEPDOG!! You look good, fur is all shaggy, and you have a twinkle in your eye.

And have you been gargling with liverwurst?

:)
No Bill "never been right about anything ever" Kristol. He'd definitely make mine.
Great idea (and thanks for the attribution). I'd add Rod Blagoyavitch and OctoMom to that list.

I so agree. All of these things are on my list of "will someone please shut off this particular news spigot?" would willingly know nothing about any of these things, but cultural osmosis is merciless and living on a desert island is a nice conceit, but impractical in real life.

I'm forced to add three more right off the top of my head:

Glenn Beck

Acorn

Teabaggers

Rated.
Can't argue with a one of em.
Very funny list you have! I will put my thinking cap on and get back to you. Of course I'll have to find my thinking cap and dust it off first...

:)
I have to say, oh well. Sucks to be you. Right?
You will not hear about them from me.
Does that mean you are against certain elements?

Like the really important things: We need to know about David Letterman's sex life?

I'd like to hear about healthcare reform.

And: Jon and Kate caused global warming through over breeding with Tom Cruise looking on over Ronald Reagan's Tomb and Tom Steele's a footnote. If Brittany Spears and Paris Hilton get together they will need AIG to insure their talentless careers.

Sarah Palin will always dance with the stars, this is the dance of the delusional.

Michael Jackson... he no longer dances the dance of the delusional.

Then there's Obama...
Patricia -- thanks for stopping by

Zuma -- I could have made it 25 but thought I would be too much of a curmudgeon.

Miko -- Thanks!

Tia -- It felt good to say it.

Little Willie -- I'm with you on the Olympics.

Teddy -- Beck is a good add.

Melissa -- Too funny.

Eva T -- I understand

Roger -- Your point is well taken. I work in health care and you can't get away from it.
Oooo... this is fun. Thanks. I like homework.
That's it? That's right you said twenty, my bad. You just reminded me of the things I thought I had forgotten about. Damn I'll never try typing that last sentence again on medication. Nice post, thought provoking. dammit. the other o/e
Amen brother. Say it again. My list would have to be like way longer than yours, due to our media overload. I hat to say it but I think it is not time (I think it should be) for true healthcare reform so it is depressing to hear about it.

add: The Kardashians and Tyra Banks' weave or no weave issue. Please.
Love you sheepdog, but may I include "lists", lists of things people love, hate, did, did not do, ate, did not eat, turn ons, turn offs.....

:)
OD -- Thanks.

Lisa -- Great additions, particularly B 0f A. I can't wait (NOT) to hear about the ousted CEO's mutli million severance package.

FE -- Thank you.

Buffy -- I was hoping people would exchange ideas and have an intelligent conversation, but I am soooooo naive.

Surly -- That would be like driving past an auto accident, you have to slow down and look.

m. a.h -- Gracious thanks.

Tink -- Drano actually.

devligrrl -- Bill Kristol is a great example of nepotism (conservative affirmative action). If his dad wasn't Irving, he'd have to find like a real job.

John -- I always provide attribution. Two great adds btw.

shiral -- "Ditto's" on the great adds. Thanks for the comments.

Cap'n -- I salute you!

Susan -- Understood.

Deborah -- you've been talking to my youngest daughter. that's HER favorite comment to me.

latethink -- great minds think alike.

Jay -- well if you tie it all togetherlike that, then we only have to hear about it once.

Cymraeg -- I always admire the brevity of our Brit cousins.

Michael -- I can't stand him, but ignoring him is not a good thing either.

Trig -- Thanks for stopping by.

C.K. -- Don't overthink this.

Other o/e -- Those meds are a mixed blessing.

Con -- could you be more explicit? ;)

Brenda -- I hear yuo on this.

Stellaa -- Yeah, this is gratuitous, I know.
I agree with all of them

After 9-11
I thought they would never stop crying and rehashing, but they finally did
Haha. I put all reality shows on that list.
I would add I-Phone apps. I don't have one and can't afford one.
Also, I'm still trying to figure out who Megan Fox is?
Great post. Glad your all healed up!
Hmmmm, no Glenn Beck, Dick Cheney, Iranian Uranium or Acorn?
Great stuff and I'm sure that this list can be augmented.
Agree EXCEPT for health care reform... if we don''t continue to hear about it it will never happen.
Great list!
A few of my own are....

Lady Gaga (including her penis or lack thereof)

Levi Johnston

Shitty politicians on any reality show that bills them as a "star" or "celebrity". You are neither. You are a walking national punchline.

Facebook

Twitter

Idiots who get fired for posting whatever got them fired.
Hence the adage "Think before you speak."
Ooh! One more...

The reason women have sex. Who gives a shit? Just let us have it and enjoy it without calling us whores.
