Based on the frequent charge that we are just too negative around here, we've decided to set a precedent for happy, inclusive, uniter-not-a-divider rhetoric, by compiling a list of Things Which Don't Suck.  We envisioned this is as a rapidly-changing, frequently-updated list, which takes into account our reader's suggestions.  So far, this has meant you'll be lucky to see it change more than once a month, and it currently reflects entirely our overworked staff's opinions.

E-mail your suggestions to: truedorktimes@truedorktimes.com if you think a different strategy should be in order.


These are a few of our semi-favorite things, in no particular order.

1. The return of retro-punk
Normally, we'd sneer loudly at anything remotely retro. But given the competition (the wallowing, bloated excesses of Creed, Nickleback, Puddle of Mudd, et al.), three chords played simple/ fast/ loud by likes of the Hives or the White Stripes sounds downright revolutionary. Although it's sad to have to re-learn something that was just as obvious way back in 1977, a full quarter century ago.

2. Baseball fans are not stupid
A new USA Today poll shows a whopping 86% of those quizzed think Bud Selig should step down as commissioner. Well, duh. Chances of that actually happening any time soon: 0%.

3. Not being able to remember what Paula Abdul did before she was on American Idol
Wait, wait, it's almost there... nope, still nothing.
Give us a hint, did she cure some disease, or something?

4. Prosciutto
Almost as enjoyable to say as it is to eat.
