Just a reminder that, over the entire lifetime of its wage-earners, the median American household generates about $2 million of income.

Stupid babies need the most attention!

Yearly raises? We've gotten pay cuts for the last seven years. It's actually illegal to give teachers cost-of-living adjustments in this state. Seriously, it's a statute.

I agree with NNP and reject your and the author's classification. This is clearly a competition show, not a reality show. Just like Wheel of Fortune, a bunch of people travel to a particular studio to compete with each other for a prize. Sure both shows have a bit of personal banter with the contestants, but it's not…

Bella Karolyi - hut or net?

Star Wars Christmas special all the way.
