What you see is what you get...

So I've kind of noticed this Internet phenomenon known as Susan Boyle.

And I get all the chit-chat:

• Don't judge a book by its cover!
• Beauty is only skin deep!
• Great things come in small packages!

But I think there is something deeper at work here.

It just goes to show how easily distracted we are by bright, shiny objects.

33 MILLION views on YouTube?

Really?

Meanwhile the economy is still in shambles, there are still TWO wars we are fighting, and Asston Kutcher is twittering to one million people! (Yes, I know I spelled that wrong.)

Step one for any good revolution? Control the media.

The media in this country force feeds us enough sugar that everything else tastes good.

So while its nice to have a little diversion every now and again. You must remember moderation is the key.

So stop with the Susan Boyle fan clubs and the adoration.

She has a good voice.

She is not solving any of the worlds problems.

This day in history!

God Bless the USA

This is an older news story that I had posted to my My Space page.

I'm not entirely sure how I feel about it, but you can make your own judgements.
