This is what worries me. There are apparently hordes of people outraged over the fact that a reportedly cute "carrot top" white boy on American Idol received more votes than a tremendously talented black girl, who is now off the show. That's my simplistic interpretation, but remember, I don't watch this show (other than the one or two snippets I've confessed to previously here).

Why are so many outraged about this but we can't seem to muster enough outrage to send a message to the White House? Maybe the same girls who are voting to keep the red headed boy on the show are also answering the phone when political pollsters call. Makes as much sense as anything else does these days.
