Darn Teenagers...

  As a college student in Washington, DC, I'm expected to be politically knowledgeable. I used to think that I was. But when one of my professors started talking about the Supreme Court, and listed the Justices, I realized that I, like ALL of my peers, could not name more than a few without studying a textbook or Wikipedia.That fact inspired this list:

THINGS I CAN LIST BETTER THAN THE U.S. SUPREME COURT JUSTICES

• The cast of Jersey Shore
• The Dallas Cowboys' starting roster for each of the past 5 seasons
• The Dallas Cowboys' Cheerleaders
• X-Men
• Avengers
• The Wu-Tang Clan
• Dinosaurs
• Words you can't say on television
• American Idol winners
• American Idol losers
• American Idol judges
• Ben and Jerry's flavors
• Simpsons characters
• Crayola colors

  Makes you feel optimistic for my generation, doesn't it?
