...The One-Minute Pundit

Also in our You-Make-Us-Tired department Zeitgeist ponders cheerleading. We spend too much time before a blasted computer and wish we could be out among the crowds but just because millions are interested in something doesn't make it important. We've mentioned before the Supermanning of America, which counts the obsessive professionalizing of amateur pursuits; and the vast insane explosion of media time to fill and the Web's groping tentacles have created fan clubs for everything. Once we could enjoy things simply; now even the slightest hobby is part of an infernal machine and becomes a trend. We feel quark-sized on the best of days. Can't men ogle women without any significance? And why must everything be embellished with a thousand piles of whipped cream and five hundred cherries?
