AI Sucks Right Now

We’re not there yet, folks.  We’re almost there… Just hold your breath for one more weekend.  Top 36 are being announced next week, and then we get to the actual singing and less of Ryan, Simon, large men dressed in bunny suits, and censors over people’s hands and mouths.

So… why do the AI blogs suck?  And why can’t I get inspired to blog about American Idol?  And why aren’t I staying up until 2am grabbing video and screen shots and being really creative and making awesome posts that you all will want to read?

My conclusion is: because AI sucks right now.  I’m interested in watching the auditions and Hollywood week, but I don’ t think they show anyone or anything really worth talking about, except the Judges and Ryan.

Here is a graph illustrating why my interest and enjoyment are affecting the blog quality:

Does God Exist? And Does Global Warming?

It is as impossible to prove the existence of Global Warming as it is impossible to prove the existence of God.

I will argue neither point.  This is simply an observation.

Advocates of both point to certain signs and symptoms that denote their existence, but sadly neither can conclusively prove or disprove their actual existence.

Ironic further is that (until recently) the inverse population seems to believe in each.  Typical God-fearing Christian Republicans stereotypically disbelieve in the theory of global warming, while environmentalists and global warming fanatics (until recently) tend to be Democratic and are more often humanists and/or atheists.

Welcome to the 80’s!

We live in an age of incredible modern technology.  Communications are instantaneous.  The internet is everywhere.  Our world is wireless.  Any device, any content, any time, any place.  Right?

I like to consider myself ahead of the times, as well.  I don’t mind spending money on technology that I feel can radically enhance my life.  I felt that way about the internet in 1995, about digital cell phones in 2000, and about the Mac in 2005.

Well, yesterday I took a major step backward in time when I had the privilege of purchasing my…

Auditions – Week 3

This week, Simon and Friends went to Salt Lake City and Jacksonville – two of the most boring cities on the planet – so it’s not super suprising that things were slightly unremarkable this week.

First of all, we can’t get through this blog without mentioning David Osmond.  Yes, friends, he is a Mormon, and thus we can soon add him to the pantheon of Mormon idols born on this television program.

I predict David will go to top 12, but it’s anyone’s guess after that.  He’s a seasoned performer, so will do well if he can choose the right songs and somehow get America (the non-Mormons) to somehow endear him.

Help a Brother Out

My little brother has recently entered an awesome graphic into some kind of art contest scholarship thingey.  It’s of Obama – and it’s very thoughtful and well executed.

It’s time to throw the full weight and force of the WhiteEyebrows readership behind this entry.  Please click on the link and vote for his piece.  Do it lots of times.  As many as you can….

CLICK HERE TO SEE THE PICTURE AND VOTE

… or there’ll be NO MORE AMERICAN IDOL POSTS FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR!!!

(now there’s an ultimatum that will blow your hair back!)

Also, please post this on your own blog, or I’ll stop reading your blog and will turn its address over to my friends in the Cialis and fake diplomas spamming engines… then we’ll see who’s laughing!

Inauguration Stupidity

Here are some of the stupid things I have heard people say since the inauguration:

“I will put my hope and faith in [Obama]” – a friend’s blog

Uhh… not to be a jerk or get all preachy on you, but there’s only one place I put all my faith and hope.  Men (and women) will always fail.  God is the only one who is perfect.  As dorky as it sounds, “God is Faithful” & humans suck.

“…[Obama] will rule this country…” -doofy reporter on NPR

Ok… no one RULES this country.. got it!  The minute someone starts ruling this country is the minute I pack my bags and naturalize myself somewhere warmer.

Oh, and P.S…

You want to know who was shouting for joy the most when Obama signed the executive proclmations ending the CIA’s interrogation programs, closing Guantanamo Bay, and pledging a new transparency and freedom of information?  Not the human rights advocates.  Nope, it was the terrorists.  Yes!  They don’t even have to spy on us now to figure out what we know about them… we’re just going to tell them out loud.  And then we’re going to treat them like gold and offer them every luxurious inefficiency of the American judicial system as well –  the country which they hate, pledge to destroy and are not even citizens of.

This president obviously has no concept of the value of information in the war against terror we are fighting.
