Idol Top 3
Going in, here’s the dynamic as I see it. The final needs to be Joshua and Phillip. Not because Jessica is a lesser talent-- she may be one of the finest technical singers in the show’s history. But the guys have something going for them that she does not-- they... Continue reading

Idol Top 4: Choices Get Clearer
PREVIOUSLY: So Skylar’s fans did NOT revive her and she’s gone. This week the question is, can Hollie stay good enough to keep herself alive? PHILLIP kicks off the weird “California” premise (songs by people from California or about California or something, whatever) with CCR”S “Have You Ever Seen the... Continue reading

Bin Laden slings hot opinions about US media
The hot read of the day is the just released documents from the bin Laden compound. It contains plenty of fascinating strategy, but most importantly, it should remind the weak-willed that while we seem ready to hang up the war effort, our enemies have not tired in the least. But... Continue reading

Idol Top 5
PREVIOUSLY: I nailed Elise’s exit, but her partners in the Bottom 3 were a surprise. I had Jessica and Joshua, and it was Skylar and Hollie. Going in, Hollie is in clear danger if she can be endangered after a great job like last week. Uh-oh, and she gets the... Continue reading

Idol Top 6
PREVIOUSLY: We have a whole week missed from my NYC trip, so let’s just get current in a hurry. Jessica does very little for me beyond impress me with the technical strength of her voice, but saving her was exactly the right thing to do. So as the Top 7... Continue reading

What's "presidential" any more?
I have a sense of humor. I like Jimmy Fallon. I think the Slow Jam segments are some of his funniest stuff. There is also the possibility that President Obama's involvement in that feature could be a stroke of genius in terms of relatability, likability, that "I want a President... Continue reading
