'American Idol' winner is embodiment of the overwhelming majority of people in this country, whom I will never understand
To put it in much clearer terms: I do not understand the phenomenon of David Cook because David Cook is pretty much everything I am not. He is a former frat guy turned bartender, the kind of guy who willingly chooses to perform songs by Switchfoot and Collective Soul and proudly proclaims his undying affection for Our Lady Peace. He sings in an earnest, gruff, decidedly weathered voice, not unlike the kind you hear all over rock radio or in a Chevy Truck commercial. If you squint funny, he looks a whole lot like Chris Daughtry, only with more hair. He has probably never cared what a blog has to say (if he's ever read one), and he likely still has an AOL e-mail address. He is a Kansas City Royals fan.
He is a Rock-and-Roll Red State. He is Rolling Thunder across the Fruited Plains. He is SUVs and flag-waving and the American Dream. He is basically the living, breathing embodiment of the overwhelming majority of people in this country, whom I do not, cannot and — let's face it — will not understand. Not ever. He makes me realize just how detached I am with reality and how unimportant I am. And that makes me sort of hate myself. And this country. Sort of.
Let me point out ... I mean the concept of him, not the actual man. Cook seems nice enough. He has cool facial hair, and he did a killer job on Lionel Richie's "Hello." But it's what he means as a whole — the ideals and social forces he represents — that frustrate and, well, sort of terrify me.

LOL!!! Is it wrong that as much as I like them both, I think that would be sorta hysterical?
Hey- what are you doing online at 8:45 on a Friday night??
I’ve got Dose duty :)
Let me rephrase: I posted the Dose tonight :)
I like Dose Duty. It sounds official. And we all know you do it ‘cause you live it. :-)
I think I assume everyone- except me- has this really exciting life when they are not on FR and I’m the only one sitting home eating an Uncrustable watching Mean Girls for the 5000th times...and on FR. ;-)
*live= love ...typing one-handed while eating my Uncrustable.

What the heck is an Uncrustable?
I have Dose duty tomorrow night too. The excitement never ends :)
“I’ll tell YOU when I’ve had enough! I was the First Freakin’ Lady, for cryin’ out loud!” {gets right in his face, opening her eyes to full prozac crazy and whispers} “I can have you killed.”
{Handler guy rolls his eyes} “Yes, ma’am, have me killed, I know. Maybe you should put your top back on first.”
It’s pre-made peanut butter and jelly sandwich with no crust for people too lazy to make a pb and j and cut off the crust themselves.
I'll save you an Uncrustable and put on some mac and cheese. ;-)
LMAO!!!
Oh that’s what an Uncrustable is. I thought it was some kinda Hot Pocket thing. (I’d rather eat Spam :)
When is our long national nightmare finally going away???
LMAO!! I’m watching Mean Girls too. Eating Triscuits, though. What’s an Uncrustable? The name makes me vaguely uneasy.
Hopefully not before the convention :)
Yeah, it’s just a round pb and j. I think most meat in Hot Pockets is actually Spam.
And just so much more sophisticated than flyover country.
sarcasm
LMAO!!! It’s just a round peanut butter and jelly. Smuckers makes them. I’m starting to think they are something we only have in the midwest. No wonder us midwesterners are all tubby! We are too lazy to make our own pb and j’s!
