American Idol Season 9 – Top 20 Pre-results

I did manage to get one of the four who got voted off last week correct. Then, in my amazement of how bad the ones who did get voted off were, I realized that it’s too much of a crap shoot at this point, so I’m changing direction for this week until the Top 12. I’m going to tell you who the Top 12 should end up being now and who sucked in royal fashion each week.

Barack Obama – The Great American Drunk

Chug! Chug! Chug!

How much do you have to drink in order for your annual physical to declare a physician recommended “moderation of alcohol intake?” I’m guessing it’s significant unless he’s got some sort of genetic kidney or liver issue that pre-disposes him to issues with small amounts of alcohol that would be generally consistent with “social drinking.” Short of being an alcoholic or a medical freak, I can’t imagine why the doctors suggested putting down that drink.

On to the bigger issue

Do we want a president who is even moderately intoxicated? Personally, I think that would explain a lot about his decisions and spending sprees of the last year, but that’s not even where I’m going here. So, the next 9/11 hits us because he’s asleep at the wheel of national security and dismantling the fabric of our being bit by bit. Do we want a “leader” who has just pounded back 14 beers or 3 screwdrivers?

I think not.

Re: Rubio’s Personal Charges Exposed

I wrote another letter to the editor of tbt* this week. It looks like they were really focused on the orca killing a Sea World trainer for today’s letters, so mine didn’t get published. Here it is anyway.

Hardly a week goes by without news of some politician at the state or national level who has just been caught spending taxpayer money. This bad behavior goes on on both sides of the isle, too, as they reported that Pelosi spent $101k for “in-flight services” including booze and flights for friends and family during the past year.

This is nothing short of theft of taxpayer funds. It’s criminal. Business can’t purchase personal items and count them as expenses. Non-profit organizations can’t, either. Those people go to jail, as should these criminals. Just because they were elected to office by the people does not give them a blank check for carte blanche spending – in fact, it’s just the opposite. They should be held to higher standards of responsibility and face sterner punishments for breaking the trust of the people.

We the people need to start tossing our elected officials out on the street until we the people are represented by honest people of high moral standards.
