kudos to oprah

oprah really did a great thing this week. she sponsored an essay contest for high schoolers to read elie wiesel's "night" and then write about its relevance today. It was thrilling to see these bright kids who won...the top 50 out of 50,000! And the ripple effect of their lives on future generations will be wonderful.

silly... but

Ok i know it's silly in the big picture, but those of us who watch American Idol know what I'm talking about. Please people..vote for Taylor not Kathrine! He is a true original and a refereshingly gracious young guy as witnessed by his reaction to his home town visit. She is a spoiled brat and a spotty singer...sometimes great, sometimes terrible. It's up to you..and me. Now that elliot is gone I will switch my numerous votes. Try redial.
And the secret is to vote five minutes before the end when they tell you to. It works.

whew

I don't know about you but I am sick of bad news, whether it's international or national. I just want to hear one good thing! Maybe my favorite, Elliot, will win on American Idol. Or maybe politicians will all just go home and stay there.

I'm shocked

I just am amazed that the recent lobby flap included hookers! I'm just shocked I tell you shocked!NOT!
