Idol Worship? More like the biggest loser, pun intended

American Idol, one of my flight from reality shows that keeps me going, has gone. Sad to report. I am thinking of sitting Shiva (a period of mourning following a death) for it. They have switched seats of the judges so many times, like that is going to make for a better show? I love Ellen but she has not hit her stride yet and looks very uncomfortable in the judges table. Simon had looked like he wanted to be anywhere but on Idol...last night he seemed better but not by much. What's with Kara looking at Simon everytime he speaks as though she "idolizes" him. I have to restrain myself from vomiting.

The men? puleze......not too many are good; none seem to be star quality. Some of the people they let go were better then what is there. The women are better but not by much though am hoping tonight they come through.

For the first time, I switched stations constantly during the show. I kept watching Biggest Loser (which is the name Idol should use this year). I love Biggest Loser, it keeps you attached emotionally. Idol used to but so far this year, it frankly sucks.

Thank goodness Ruby is back, and Project Runway is up to speed; even Amazing Race is back and always great.

Reality shows keep me from dealing with the reality of no job. Funny isn't it? reality shows keep me from reality....hmmmm maybe I should do a reality show on job hunting...any one interested? Of course, there's always the ForestofFools or the Schmuck's Forest (in progress watch this space). Shame they are not up yet, I would have planted Senator Bunning...more to come.

Why Can't We All Be Proud and Say Congrats Mr. President?

President Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize today based on what he promised and how he has succeeded thus far. He has reached out to all nations to bring the US into diplomatic relationships based on trying to maintain peace and respect for each. It is truly a noble beginning. His acceptance speech says it all.

As an American, I am extremely proud that our President achieved this honor. And terribly disappointed that our media and politicians have to analyze this prize. We don't have control over this prize. What right do we have to question this? Who are these people?

Frankly I am so sick of our politicians and media outlets who question everything and do NO objective, factual reporting to allow individuals to make their own views based on this info and fact. Instead the pontification is so great, it has reached the unbearable. There is no celebration of good. There is only destruction of any morsel of pride and good.

It reminds me of my Aunt when I was growing up. She LOVED to be the one to spread the bad news...it made her feel important and in fact, my mother was the same way.

So my question is: are all these politicians, pundits, media shows and outlets so damn insecure they have to make more drama than necessary???

This is why so many of us retreat to reality shows that are now our fantasies because the true reality is made unbearable. Give me Project Runway (even though I miss Nina Garcia), Top Chef, The Amazing Race,  and Iron Chef.

Of the media and so called news shows, who continue to sap up any and all positive energy in this country, and world, and treat us, their viewers as tho we have not a brain in our heads by telling us their opinions versus reporting facts,  may I say....et tu brute?

More to come..................
