   When I say that I rarely watch network TV news, I'm not exaggerating.
   My mom visited today and turned on ABC news (local and Eyewitness
   news), and I realized that I haven't seen these talking heads for more
   than a decade. When did Joel Seigel get so grey?

   Do you remember the scene from 'Crocodile Dundee', when Dundee checks
   out his New York hotel room and notes that he hasn't seen TV for more
   than twenty years. He turns it on, sees an episode of 'I Love Lucy'
   and says "yup, that's what I saw"...

   According the ABC news:

   1. the NYC area is about to experience a semi-apocolyptic 'historical'
   weather event on April 15th that will 'pound' and 'hammer' us to
   smithereens.

   2. Eating bread is bad for you, eating bread with butter is downright
   deadly.

   3. The most popular toy on the market is bad for kids. It will
   endanger them and rot their brains.

   4. Everyone is screwing up in Washington, New Jersey's governor is
   messing up his life and getting his bones broken, and 'they' hate us.

   5. All of this week's movie releases are good except the one with
   Bruce Willis.

   Yup, that's what I saw.
