We watched our TiVo of the post-post-game House. Then we watched Idol. I'm glad that neither party has a clear winner yet. Stick that in yer eye MSM! You have to keep covering it! kimsch's last blog post..ÜberTuesday, Paczki Day

I watched “Death Proof”, Quentin Tarantino’s half of “Grindhouse”.

It was awesome!

I had school tonight, unfortunately couldn’t watch anything but surreptitiously kept checking FoxNews & the like by internet. Yes, I had time to vote between leaving work And getting dinner AND getting to school, will just mention that my candidate did not win my state (grrr).
We also have lots & lots of nasty weather through here (TN)and I am spending some time surfing whilst I wait for the next line of storms to come through… sigh.

Don’t get me wrong, Simon’s comments are the single point to American Idol that give the show any redeeming value at all. He’s generally spot-on with advice he gives to people, and a compliment from him is almost never an empty one. My problem with Simon is that, particularly during the mid-season, when he cuts somebody down it’s pretty obvious that some writer somewhere came up with it.

Snark should be original (I say that, having shamelessly stolen part of mine above from Jeff Foxworthy…). I suppose I was feeling a bit pissy when I wrote my first comment; all I can say is that TV was bad before the writer’s strike, and the only foreseeable future that network TV has in my opinion is more reality shows. I have NO interest in that.

As for Super-Duper-Pooper Tuesday…no. I’m a registered Independent and can’t vote in either primary anyway.

Since tonight’s an audition night, I’ll watch Idol (I only watch the auditions), and sit here and get election returns from the internets.

Good lord, WG. Are you trying to become more of a Queen of Snark than I am?

Oh, and btw, do NOT diss on Simon.

I listen to middle-school drama every evening when they get home from school. I don’t need to replay a scripted and overproduced version of the same thing with self-interested adults on my television.

Ah. So you won’t be watching the Super Tuesday coverage, either, then.

I'd rather sit naked in a tub full of scissors than waste my time watching American Idol. I have so little interest in Paula's boobs, Randy's pseudo-homeboy drivel, Simon's pathetic and pre-planned attempts at snark, or the talentless collection of assclowns they parade across the stage that if it were in terms of temperatures, it could only be measured in single digits on the Kelvin scale.

As much as I hate the early stages of idol. I have an 8-year old who loves idol; the princess can never be refused. I'll be watching idol. Bryan's last blog post..Simple Flash

#1 son and I are political junkies so we'll be flipping between the different coverage on the various networks. metal dad's last blog post..Mises Quote for the Day

We'll probably flip between both Idol and CNN just so I can see my boyfriend Anderson Cooper. Jaynee's last blog post..IzeaRanks - A Needed Change!
