AMERICAN IDOL: Top 8 Guys

Well, the guys stunk up the joint this week. The only thing that excited me was the Coke commercial. Ryan still has that weird gay panic thing, especially with the Chris Sligh hug at the end.

1) Blake (JimmyWalker)- Your beat boxing is old and tired. Stop it. Please. I didn't like the song. I really didn't care for him this week.

2) Sanjaya (Shyamali)- Stupid intro. He can hula. Why am I not surprised? Looks like his sister! Really creepy. His hair was gayed up. Singing still sucks. Really sucks. He'll make top 12 with the help of that moronic teen vote that is also deaf. Sadly, someone more deserving is going to get the boot as a result.

3) Sundance (FatBoy)- Don't do Pearl Jam again. Not feeling the love this week. My ears are tired of being screamed at. At least he groomed his beard. Sundance, STFU.

4) Chris (Tmberlake)- Sat in the stool, kiss of death. Sang like crap. Country? I hated it. Nasal.

5) Jared (LoveBoat)- Yawn—he plays basketball. Stevie? Again? His singing was—bland, boring, uninspired. He has that Ace Young outreach of love down pat. Trying to act sexy can only get you so far; you still have to sing well. Very karaoke. Paula didn't like it either.

6) Brandon (Who Cares)- Pointless. Dull. You’re a nice kid, but that sucked. Pack your bags.

7) Phil (Nostferatu)- I bawled from boredom. So did my furniture. Zzzzzz. Awful. Wow, he sucked ass. Bad song choice. Phil, buddy, dressing yourself in the dark leads to all sorts of fashion disasters. Don't attempt it again.

8) Chris (FraggleRock)- Yawn. I.Don't.Care.

THE SEAL: Chris; Jared; Brandon; Phil

THE BOOT: Brandon; Phil

Good morning CC!

[txradioguy]

Morning everyone...here's a little light reading before the start of broadcast excellence.

NEW YORK Denis Collins, the juror in the Libby/CIA leak case who delivered a post-verdict commentary for the press, spent about a decade at The Washington Post. Today, after a night on cable TV shows, he re-appears with a massive recounting of his experience at the Huffington Post blog.

His story is billed as "INSIDE THE JURY ROOM: WHAT THE JURY THOUGHT, DAY BY DAY, WITNESS BY WITNESS, AT THE SCOOTER LIBBY TRIAL" by Denis Collins, Juror #9. It calls it "unedited" impressions, memories and facts. Other jurors' names are changed.

The New York Times today reports that he is a registered Democrat. He recalls that he revealed when considered for the jury that he had worked with Bob Woodward for three or four years and also with the Post's Walter Pincus, another witness at the trial. Until a year ago, Tim Russert was a neighbor and he even attended backyard barbeques at Russert's place. But attorneys at both tables merely offered "ain't this a small town" grins, he relates.

Hello CC, from a cold and lightly snowing NYC!

Everyone ready for verbal combat? Wanna discuss the rules of engagement first? I've got my lawyer right here.

[Sensei Ern]

Hey all! Just a moment to say hi, then I gotta get back to work.

See you tomorrow!

[Fawn]

Anyone know how to get rid of those musquvite ducks? My neighbor refuses to stop feeding them. So I want them to 'disappear'.

[HarleyLady27]

Good morning everyone! Snowing here and pipes are still frozen....plumbers are busy and don't know when they will be here....lol....

Thanks CC for the link

Hello, y'all. What do y'all think of this graphic below? And how do I get Rush to pay attention to and raise this issue generally? See more here.

SafeLibraries.org - Are Children Safe in Public Libraries?

[Tolkien]

Does anybody actually talk about what Rush is talking about on this thread?

Rush is on fire this morning!

He called the MSM what they really are. A wing of the DemonRat party. We all knew that but it's good to hear Rush say it.

[Jo Nuvark]

Thanks for the ping CC27. Still grieving over Libby verdict.

[FreedomNeocon]

I'm hoping to hear s'more Matthews...

He was in rare form last night.

Things like asking his guests if "Should Dick Chaney step down?" and explaining how that Dennis guy is "a model juror"

He did a little tirade at the end of the program and I swear he lost 12oz of spit in the 3min he was ranting. His lower lip was literally dripping as the camera faded out.

[LibertyLee]

Good afternoon CC27...a late thanks for the ping...back in work, n'lurk mode after the WH Brief...at which Tony was asked a minimum of a dozen times about Scooter and wouldn't comment...

[WilliamofCarmichael]

Not one mention (that I've heard) on any of the shows I listen to, not Rush, not Hannity.. no one.

You'd think they'd be interested in something like this, "Fitzgerald buried probative evidence of an al Qaeda cell operating in New York in 1996."

The author says he can prove that and lots more.

That and lots more are in Triple Cross: How bin Laden's Master Spy Penetrated the CIA, the Green Berets, and the FBI--and Why Patrick Fitzgerald Failed to Stop Him by Peter Lance award winning investigative author and former MSM reporter.

I believe his book has finally moved up the amazon chart to the top 100. Why don't they talk to him, for my own reason mentioned elsewhere I won't read the book but I have heard several long interviews with him. He's done a pretty good job.

My flabber is gast.
