My take on the American Idol outcome for 2009
Posted in current events, entertainment, music, people, tagged Adam Lambert, American Idol, Danny Gokey, Kris Allen on May 21, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Well there seems to be some outrage over Adam Lambert not winning the title 2009 American Idol. Here is my take on it, for what it’s worth. They are both very good in their own different way. Kris is a good singer / musician who will do well. Adam is an incredible entertainer / singer who will go the way of Daughtry and be a smashing success. As the past has proven you need not be the title winner to do well, and just getting the title does not guarantee success.
Should we bail out home owners who over bought ?

The President announced yet another bail out package. This one is to help people who are in danger of losing their homes. Many, and I will agree not all, are in this position because they bought a home that was way more expensive than the could afford.

The media is and has been biased for years always depicting men as the snorers and woman as those who suffer listening to their man snore. Well I came home tonight after everyone else had gone to bed. My Wife is snoring, like she does every-night.
