the 50+ TV lists at $1,380. That could be four months of rent for some people, and it was probably more expensive in 2006.

"television has improved"? Really? Maybe on HBO or Showtime, but the big three looks like a frigging wasteland to me. Unless you happen to like Daning with the Stars, Survivor, Big Brother, America's got talent, the Bachelor, The Next American Idol, Duets, Minute to Win it, Deal or no Deal.

Yeesh, give me re-runs of MASH or Bonanza.

Thanks for dragging the Ten Commandments into it, which millions of us foolish Christians are spending $1,500 on monuments of for their personal entertainment.

Further, one can be richer than the average bear without being Donald Trump. Heck, even I, at $12,000 a year for a part-time job realized that I was richer than many of my neighbors because I own my home (free and clear) while they pay rent.
