Idol Comments from the 'Net

Well done America! You have now sealed the fate of American Idol forever. No longer will anyone question the futility of this once promising format.

After that outburst of anger towards the devastating result of seeing LaToya London prematurely kicked off the show, I took time to calm down and examine what I had written – In truth, I saw it coming.

Tuesday night, I believe LaToya sealed her fate. Not because of her lack of talent. Not because of a poor performance. Not because she is unworthy of the title of American Idol. She received fewer votes because she is a consummate professional. She did not at anytime display crocodile tears to win votes (Jasmine’s tears were probably genuine; after all she is just a kid, but!) LaToya did not prance up and down in gleeful joy at positive comments from the judges, like Diana does. Nor did she respond to negative comments with attitude or as some have said, showed spunk! LaToya London just did her job, exceptionally well, and behaved in a calm, professional manner. Tuesday night, LaToya was just LaToya, no pretense, no playing to the camera, no nonsense. Obviously America wants something more than just an American Idol.

All true, yet I still have to wonder, why does the American public really care? Sure, its fun to see the little person ascend tot he dizzying hieghts but is it worth getting all in a froth?

Ain't That a Kick in the Pants

After three years of dedicated service, my most recent employer decided it was time to part ways. This after arriving home on a Saturday afternoon from a week-long business trip to the happy-time town of Miamisburg, OH. So, back into the roiling waters of the job market I go. Anyone need a moderately talented trainer skilled in needs analysis, scope preparation, curriculum development and course facilitation?

He's Baaaaaaack!

After a long absence, I am back and blogging about the things that get my goat, raise my interest and keep me from slumbering at night. With all that is happening in this wacky world we live in, I am sure there will be plenty to write about. Watch for articles about politics, news, food, drink, deals, etc. Its like your on-line home for a "Today" show-like experience only snarkier. For now, peruse some of the older (OK, very old) posts on this blog to get an idea of what I have in store for you. You will soon find yourself embroiled in wild rants, questionable raves and challenging discussion. Can you dig it?

Welcome

Ever step out of your house early in the morning, sniff the cool, moist air of the new day and just know that everyone, everywhere is out to get you? Have you ever woke up in the middle of the night, sweating, breathing hard, your heart pounding in your chest from a particularly vivid dream involving alien abduction, leisure suits, and fruit cocktail? Have you ever gone to the grocery store gotten a cart with a jittery wheel, fantasized about the produce, wondered if the surveillance cameras saw you stuff the rump roast down your shorts, and tried to purchase beer with food stamps? Me either. I was just wondering. Welcome to my blog. I plan to use this little slice of the Internet to post some of my random thoughts. I'll post reviews of restaurants, movies, and anything else I feel like reviewing. I'll post travelogues with info about trips I have taken, places I have seen, and people I have met. I'll post rants about politics, the economy, public figures, and p...
