In Memory of Bahbah and Carolinamom

Perfect description of what they’ve done to Lauren:

gild the lily
1. To adorn unnecessarily something already beautiful.

According to BO it is 24 May, 2008.

I didn't get that until I saw the news this morning.

LOL!!

There's a lot of psychological information packed on that page.

The date: In Obama's mind, time probably stopped in 2008, when he was at his most messianic. Can't accept the way people view him in 2011.

His giant signature: Total ego, placed square in the middle of the page.

Michelle's signature: Pushed off to the side to make room for her husband. (Did she sign before or after Obama? Why couldn't she sign below his name? Probably some ego at work there too) Her signature is much smaller and more legible. And she makes her "O" look like a crescent moon. That's nice.

I think I found the source of the BBQ smoke :)

Poor guy. Surrounded by three things he hates: Brits, soldiers and PORK!

Was just settign my DVR..the show is SCEDULED to run long...from 8PM until 10:07PM..so we can assume it will run even longer. Anyone who is taping needs to be aware of this Looks like FOX is going for a ratings kill tonite..all the other networks are running reruns of reruns..

So, we'll have about 2 hrs 15 minutes of air time..

Probably set a record for commercials annd promos..at least 1 hour...

Hi, Lady :)

I think that song has won her the title! Beautiful!

Agree. That was the only song from last night that I want to hear again. She might pull an upset ... but the Ferlies are a force to be reckoned with.

[silent_jonny]

ROFL!

[silent_jonny]

Ryan walking her like a princess to her mom. If they wanted her to win, they did a good job of setting her up for the win. She delivered with her voice.

Agree. Idol may have some internal numbers that show Scotty running away with this, so they went out of their way to swing some votes to Lauren. But it wasn't necessary. Like you said, she delivered with her voice--and BIG TIME on that last song.

[silent_jonny]

My pleasure :)

[silent_jonny]

Its Lauren Alaina by a ruffle.

Ha :)

[silent_jonny]

You guys crack me up so much

Likewise! :)

[silent_jonny]

But...they both dun real good!

Yep :)

[b9]

Brilliant!
Notice his “O” with a slash?

[nfldgirl]

Somebody help me out here...Drudge is reporting Scotty the winner of AI. Where’ve I been the past 24 hours? Wasn’t the final on last night? I’m in a time warp, or something, and I can’t find anyone talking about what’s on Drudge this morning!

GENIUS, Jonny. Sheer genius.

You da host wit da most, fo shizzle. Gonna miss dis thread...

DialIdol has never been wrong for the final (only 2 left). They have Scotty winning. In fact, Scotty has been first every week on DialIdol.

[Cpl. Dwayne Hicks]

After watching the final, I realize now more than ever that it should have been a James vs Haley final. I've been a Lauren fan since Day 1 but she has been subpar the past three weeks. And Scotty just bores the hell out of me. Lauren will win tonight.

[retrokitten]

It looks a lot like Oprah's signature.

[retrokitten]

LMAO!!! He looks completely miserable, too.

I agree except it should have been a Pia vs Haley final. Who knew that Country and Western Music is the most popular music among AI watchers? Lauren at least sang "tolerable" listening country pop. 12 year old girls rule the world!

It looks a lot like Oprah's signature.

Except his has that slash... his very own sig says NObama!
