Top 5 Things Richie’s NOT Thankful For [GALLERY]

Since I'm stereotyped as the eternal "Mr. Negative" on the morning show (and I have NO idea where that came from, by the way!), I thought I would carry that theme through on this day of giving thanks, just to keep things in perspective.

OK   Here's my list.  And I've checked it twice (and then I'll ask for yours)

1.  The horrendous weather these past months.  (floods, hurricanes--someone call Al Gore and admit the painful truth--he was right!)

2. Our lame, do nothing, accomplish nothing, complain about everything CONGRESS. (and it's too bad, because it really gives some of our local lawmakers a rotten name, and we have some good ones!)

3. People who criticize the Kardashians. I think they're brilliant marketers.  More power to them.  If the media was stupid enough to follow your or my every waking move, wouldn't you try to cash in?   (And that one kid is a great dancer to boot!)

4. Any family member who brings over that disgustingly sweet jello stuff with the marshmallows in it.  Sorry to go "Andy Rooney" on you here, but "don't you just hate that?

5. The person who said that it's OK for men in their 50's to dye their hair.  Note to self-disregard my previous blog on the subject-this will be my last time!  I can't take the rejection.

Now, what are YOU NOT thankful for?  Or thankful for should you choose to go all positive on me.   Would love to know.  Happy Thanks (or NO thanks)giving!
