Hmmm.

Being from Maryland, where the blue crab is the state bird if I'm not mistaken, wishing someone crabs is quite the congenial salutation.

Also, I remember when a columnist in a New York newspaper ripped into Bob Ross (of "Joy of Painting" fame) because, despite Bob's artsy, mellow, nature-loving demeanor he made money. Ran a good business.

Apparently, in the eyes of some, the fact that Bob Ross was financially successful somehow made him less real or sincere or enjoyable.

If you do something well enough people will be willing to pay you for it and pay you well. And more power to you.

I was also going to suggest BBC. I guess Topix.com is a little disparate (if that's a word and if I spelled it correctly). But it's interesting to search by zip code and see all the sources and feeds that pop up.

Topix.com's user comments quickly devolve into flame wars, though. Best avoided.
