Who Watched American Idol Last Night?

I saw the last part of it where the 16 year old juggler has a coniption fit when he walked out. Come on, 16 year olds are very smart and in tune with how to read and what stuff is all about. American Idol is a singing and performing competition. If it were an acrobatic compition for juggling then the show would have been called American Circus. What was he thinking? Was he thinking that his juggling would help his voice? His tantrum was horrible.

Justin Timberlake And Britney Spears

Now that Justin Timberlake is not together any more with Cameron Diaz he can get on with his life. Justin is the marrying kind and Cameron is not.

I saw Cameron on the Oprah show a couple of years ago and she made it crystal clear she was not interested in ever being married.

Have you heard the words to Justin’s songs lately? I think they were meant for Cameron. It’s obvious that he loves Cameron more than she loves him. Don’t you just hate that?

Ultimately, I’m hoping that Justin and Britney get back together. They should have stayed together. Perhaps Britney has learned whatever she thought she needed to learn and now that can get back together. But, will Justin have her back?

I’d like to see it happen. How about you?

I Haven’t Changed My Mind

I still believe that illegal immigrants should be deported. Why should they be rewarded for breaking our laws?

Did you hear about the pizza parlor down in the south that is allowing it’s customers to pay in pesos for their meals?

How is that right?

Poor Britney Spears - I Feel Sorry For Her

This is what she has to say on her blog:

Dear Fans,

It has been a while since I’ve addressed you personally here on my official website. The last couple of years have been quite a ride for me, the media has criticized my every move and printed a skewed perception of who I really am as a human being. Behind every decision I have made in my public life there always seems to be an apparent contradiction. I have come to terms with that which is why I usually don’t pay much attention to it.

The last couple of years have been very enlightening for me and now that I’ve had the time to be “me,” I’ve been able to sit down and think about where I want to go with myself as an entertainer with absolutely no strings attached. I am now more mature and feel like I am finally “free.” I’ve been working so hard on this new album and I can’t wait for you all to hear it and to go on tour again! I would like to exclusively tell you that I am working hard to release the new album sometime later this year, but the date is of course not certain yet. I look forward to coming back this year bigger and better than ever, and to also reaching out to my fans on a more personal level. I noticed today that one of my biggest fansites is shutting down soon and I want you all to know that I do understand all the reasons that went behind making that decision, and I am sad to see it closing. If I were you I’d be unhappy too if I had to read what I’ve been reading every day. But trust me, I get it. I know I’ve been far from perfect and the media has had a lot of fun exaggerating my every move, but I want you all to know that I love my fans so much, and I appreciate everything you have done for me, so Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

Love,
Britney

Don’t worry Brit. You are doing the right thing divorcing his sorry ass. We all make mistakes when we are young. Now that you are in your mid twenties you are going to discover so many things about yourself that you never knew.

Don’t let the media get to you. You know, it’s really sad when we turn our TV’s on at night and have to put up with the latest “girls gone wild” ad while flipping through the channels. You would think that the media would try and focus on that instead of the fact that you supposedly didn’t have any bottoms on under your skirt.

Who cares anyway, right? I can’t tell you how many times I have gone out not wearing any bottoms myself. Anybody could have seem my “stuff” had I been stalked the that you are stalked by the press. So don’t worry, ok?

Hang in there and I am looking forward to hearing your new music.

FeedDemon 2.0 Sucks

I am looking for a new feed reader that doesn’t cost any money. I am sorry that I paid for the FeedDemon service. I will not do THAT again. Does anybody out there know of a news reader that is free that has an excellent track record? I am so tired of the “debug” notifications every single time I try to read somebody’s feed OR attempt to take a look at somebody’s blog via FeedDemon. The technical support for this aspect of the problem is horrible as well.

WEATHER BULLETIN

Up here, in the Northern Plains, we just recovered from a Historic event— may I even say a “Weather Event” of “Biblical Proportions” — with a historic blizzard of up to 44″ inches of snow and winds to 90 MPH that broke trees in half, knocked down utility poles, stranded hundreds of motorists in lethal snow banks, closed ALL roads, isolated scores of communities and cut power to 10’s of thousands.

FYI

George Bush did not come. FEMA did nothing. No one howled for the government. No one blamed the government. No one even uttered an expletive on TV. Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton did not visit. Our Mayor did not blame Bush or anyone else. Our Governor did not blame Bush or anyone else, either. CNN, ABC, CBS, FOX or NBC did not visit - or report on this category 5 snowstorm. Nobody demanded $2,000 debit cards. No one asked for a FEMA Trailer House. No one looted. Nobody - I mean Nobody demanded the government do something. Nobody expected the government to do anything, either. No Larry King, No Bill O’Rielly, No Oprah, No Chris Mathews and No Geraldo Rivera. No Shaun Penn, No Barbara Striesand, No Hollywood types to be found.

Nope, we just melted the snow for water. Sent out caravans of SUV’s to pluck people out of snow engulfed cars. The truck drivers pulled people out of snow banks and didn’t ask for a penny. Local restaurants made food and the police and fire departments delivered it to the snowbound families. Families took in the stranded people - total strangers. We fired up wood stoves, broke out coal oil lanterns or Coleman lanterns. We put on extra layers of clothes because up here it is “Work or Die”. We did not wait for some affirmative action government to get us out of a mess created by being immobilized by a welfare program that trades votes for ’sittin at home’ checks.

Even though a Category “5″ blizzard of this scale has never fallen this early, we know it can happen and how to deal with it ourselves. “In my many travels, I have noticed that once one gets north of about 48 degrees North Latitude, 90% of the world’s social problems evaporate.” It does seem that way, at least to me. I hope this gets passed on. Maybe SOME people will get the message. The world does Not owe you a living.
