Okay, first of all, how many billions of hours are wasted by taxpayers filling out IRS forms? I DON’T CARE! How many billions of hours have I spent in the last two months filling out these ridiculous registration forms for every single freaking newspaper known to mankind! Augh! The forms are all the same! They’re obviously made by the same people! Why can’t they share! It’s not like there’s any money to go around! It’s not like I represent a totally different demographic when I read a different newspaper. Quit asking me!

And another thing: You know those questions what country do you live in? And it usually lumps the UK, USA, Oz, maybe New Zealand, Canada, all the English speaking countries all up at the top because it’s an English-freaking-webpage? Why can’t they do that with states? Rank them by the number of internet users. If I don’t have to scroll past 600 countries with a GDP of about 50 bucks to get to USA, why should I have to scroll past all those states to get to Washington?

PS. Freaking errors. Why the hell do I need an ultra-secure password to read Dave Barry? Why can’t I use my regular password? Why do I have to add a number? Am I at risk for identity-theft if evil hackers find out I’ve read the latest one, but none others since 2002? Will that make all the difference to them? The icing on the cake? “Ah hah! We had her SS#, bank #s, mother’s maiden name, credit rating, but now we have her Dave Barry preferences! Now we can rule the world!”

Grr.
