This soldier boy’s teeth are scaring me.

It's like he could bite you without opening is mouth.

[silent_jonny]

It’s round so the patients can’t get lost.

LOLOL!

It’s fitting that John Kerry, hobbled on crutches (did he get another purple heart?), leads “Marsha” Coakley’s losing entourage to the stage.

[silent_jonny]

I’d post more but it seems I have time to bake 3 dozen cookies before FR catches up.

Yes.

I hope it's better tomorrow night.

Harry Reid: Scott Brown will be seated in the Senate "when the proper paperwork is received".

Hm.

[skateman]

Pickins is full of gas, allright!

The guy with the guitar (something Semple?) was just on a news break and said his golden ticket was revoked for some reason.

The Sleestack guy?

[silent_jonny]

Hi, EG :)

[skateman]

I wonder if a recall election is possible?

[retrokitten]

Amen, Sarah!

“Me and my homies do some drive-bys then we go to breakfast with Snow White, fo’!”

[skateman]

Zero takes it on the chin!

[silent_jonny]

Thanks again jonny!!

My pleasure!

Well--not so much tonight with the FR lag :)

[silent_jonny]

You’re welcome :)

[retrokitten]

It's closed now, but they actually did have a round building! LOLOLOL

But I think it was the administration building. ;-)

[silent_jonny]

thank you Mass! A great night, I hope there are many more to come.

Me too!

I sooooo want to see Harry Reid's concession speech in November :)

[retrokitten]

Yeah, I think so. Let me see what I can dig up.

>>Well—not so much tonight with the FR lag :)<<

I’ll take FR lag with a Brown win while enjoying AI with my friends any day!!!!

OK, the Brown win is a bonus — I’ll take any night enjoying AI with my friends, even with a lag! :)

[skateman]

Tag Line change.

One Chicago Idol Contestant Loses Golden Ticket

Chicago - While Simon Cowell may have complimented the Chicago talent who auditioned for American Idol last summer, it was clear he must have been talking about quality over quantity.

While Boston is sending 31 “golden ticket” winners to Hollywood, Chicago only managed to come up with 13 worthy of getting the required minimum of three “yes” votes from Cowell, Randy Jackson, Kara DioGuardi and guest judge Shania Twain.

On top of that, one of those Chicago winners has already been yanked!

Keith Semple, the lead singer with local band 7th Heaven, ran into an immigration problem.

While he’s in the U.S. on a legal work visa, American Idol rules dictate that any non-U.S. citizens competing must have a resident alien visa, and Keith’s paperwork might not have made it by the end of the Idol season.

Because of that, the producers very reluctantly pulled Semple from the competition, even though a number of Idol sources say he had a good chance to make it very far, possibly to the top five, if not all the way.

Fortunately, things are going well for 7th Heaven and Semple.

If you want to see them live, they’ll be performing at John Barleycorn in Schaumberg Friday.
