You're right, I don't "like" them, but it pretty much confirms my
opinion of the deteriorating IQ of the average America. (There are
times I think we deserve what we get, in terms of government - and am
grateful I'm not likely to be around more than a maximum of twenty years
more.)

Perhaps the difference is that you are content with pablum whereas I
prefer intellectual content! (Orwellian "double-speak" is alive and
well - the trouble is, too few Americans nowadays recognize it when they
encounter it.)

There are times when I envy him! (Unfortunately, with my retirement
income all in U.S. Dollars, retiring abroad just wasn't feasible.)
