The Best Show on TV
We will have a new American Idol next week. Will it be David or David?
David Archuleta, David Cook & Syesha Mercado are a talented threesome, but unfortunately one of them had to go home last night and it was Syesha. Syesha really stepped up to the plate for the last three weeks and sang her heart out, but it was destined to come down to a duel between the two Davids. However, Syesha does not have to worry about her future - she has the looks and voice to become a recording star or a movie star.
My prediction is that David Archuleta will be the next American Idol, because he has all of the little teen girls in his corner and they will wear their fingers out sending text votes in for him. I think that David Cook is the most talented of the two, but I don't think he has the following that Archuleta has.
Tune in next week to see if this is fiction or fact.

POLITICAL NONSENSE
Just think the presidential election is not until November, and all of us are worn out listening to all of the campaign jargon. McCain has won the republican nomination, but Hillary and Obama are still slugging it out for the democratic nomination. Each candidate has spent millions of dollars trying to become our next president so they can make $400K annually. There is just something that don't add up with those numbers!
Well, I have a solution to eliminate all of this campaign mess, and that is to elect our president by the same method that the American Idol is selected. You could even have Randy, Paula and Simon judging, because they are there for entertainment only --- Wow! I would enjoy hearing what Simon had to tell some of the contestants (candidates). Anyway, there would be 12 finalist and each week the candidates would have five minutes to speak, sing or dance -- ever what they thought would get them the votes they needed to stay on the show. In less than three months we would have our next president selected and also would have been entertained (maybe).
As I see it there are a number of advantages to using the American Idol method.
1. We would not have to drive to the polls.
2. Sponsors would pay for the entire process.
3. We would not have to listen to the candidates for 2 years on the campaign trail.
4. We could call or text in our votes.
5. There would be no conventions taking up good TV time.
6. There would be no need for delegates or super delegates.
7. There would not be an electoral process.
8. The president would be elected entirely by popular vote.
9. We would save 1,000 of trees that are used to make the paper used for campaign posters.
10. Finally we would end up with just as good a president as doing it the old fashion way.
Out of all the Amerian Idols there has only been one bad one (Taylor Hicks) -- I don't think our percentages are that good with presidents, so maybe it is the method in which they are elected that needs to be changed.
LOOK FOR THIS TO TAKE PLACE IN FOUR YEARS!!!!!!
