Thoughts, Barely, By Xmastime

One thing I never got about The Sopranos is how Tony would walk down to the end of the driveway every day to get his newspaper. I mean, we're supposed to believe that at any given moment someone wants to knock him off, right? And how long would it take someone with a brain to see that every morning, at such and such time he comes waddling down to the end of his own driveway, gets the newspaper, STANDS THERE FOR A FEW MINUTES LOOKING AT IT, all while in his dopey bathrobe? And yet nothing ever happens. I guess it never occurred to any of these geniuses. Wtf?
