Priorities

Not much to report. Paula's finally hep to what Shari and I have been gleefully, albeit predictably, obsessing over for some time now, and that's the show that proves once and for all that our country is back in the swing of things in terms of really caring about mindless bullshit again: American Idol.

From: Paula Kelley - "Do you guys watch American Idol? How bout Anna Nicole?"

From: Lisa McColgan - "Yes to both. Come on. You know better than to ask me something so obvious...."

From Shari Eleftherion: "Fuckin' Christina got a raw deal last night; shoulda been that RJ that got booted. He forgot the words to his song, fachristsake."

From: Lisa McColgan - "RJ won't get booted for at least a couple more rounds because the girlies love him."

From: Paula Kelley - "1. Is Anna's dog really on Prozac? 2. Why did Christina get booted from Idol? They were all over her shit the night she sang, and RJ seemed to do kind of a crappy job, but he stayed. (I only just saw the end of the big band episode and the end of last night's, so I'm new here.)"

From: Lisa McColgan - "Okay, what I need to know is why they continue to allow half-baked Pink-wannabe Nikki to remain. She has absolutely decimated every song she's sung, she has no range or control, goes flat at least three times in the course of every selection, and I'm tired of everyone creaming in their jeans over what a �wild child' she is. She needs to go. And fuck the dog -- I wanna know what Anna's taking."

From: Paula Kelley - "Yeah! Nikki couldn't decide if she wanted to emulate Pink when she had pink hair or blonde hair so she went for a little of both. The tearful send off they gave Christina made me pyoop. (poop and puke at the same time)."

From: Lisa McColgan - "They're all so full of shit. �Oh, we've all grown sooooo close this summer!' I'd be up there like, �Come off it. I'm gonna be an American Idol and you're going back to the Gap.' I suppose, though, that this honesty would make me as unlikable as Simon, and therefore subject to the collective ax of millions of 12 year old girls."

From: Paula Kelley - "Which one's Simon? Did he get the heave ho?"

From: Shari Eleftherion - "He's the brutally honest judge. Me, I like him."

From: Paula Kelley - "The one who wants Christina's hog? So- do they go by the judges' votes or the callers'? Or a combo?"

From: Lisa McColgan - "In the initial rounds, it was the judges. Now, it's caller-based, explaining the seemingly random choices show after show."

From: Paula Kelley - "Ah, oui. So what happens with the winner? They get a �superstar' recording contract including a Max Martin penned single?"

You'd best believe that we are some ladies with their priorities in order.
