The USPTO does not routinely accept "almost anything" at first. I hate reading stupid slashdot comments on patents. Slashdotters generally know nothing about how the patent system works. Stop spreading FUD.
Try and make a comparison to first action issue patents to patents with a more substantial prosecution history. You will find that patents will generally not get issued by the USPTO without some fight by an Applicant or his Attorney.
Usually, bad patents issue on Fridays and Mondays when Patent Examiners are pressed to make their numbers look good.
