The Day After (American Idol)

* American Idol? I still think Scott needs to go. Pronto. I think he's next. Anthony did better, but he still needs to go. And I think Anwar is close to his end as well.

* Don't think that today's action on Wall St is good news. After bang-up earnings last night from Intel and Yahoo, the last thing bulls wanted to see were folks fading the open. The CPI didn't help, as it showed inflation pressures.

* Bo Bice sang well, but I'm wondering if his style will be enough to get the votes compared to more pop-friendly choices.

* You probably saw the news that obesity isn't the killer they once thought. Huh? Well, because there are medications that control some of the "metabolic syndrome" effects of being obese. What they're saying, is that you can take pills to lower your cholesterol, blood pressure, and control blood sugar; so, hit the buffet! (Bad idea, I think.)

* So, Veronica Mars dumps her Deputy Dog boyfriend. I think it was creepy that a Deputy was dating a high school girl. I'm sure others did as well. Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Alyson Hannigan guest starred. (And this one time, in band camp...)

* Are you having an NFL draft party at your house saturday? Me neither. But I am reading the Yahoo sports clips. I mean Google. Sorry, blogger. Google. Really.

* What is up with this new interactive food pyramid thingy? I heard it on the news, that the food pyramid is gone, replaced by some online, interactive, enter-your-data and click submit to get some guidelines. How many millions did that online system cost? And now, since being obese is okay, who cares? Twinkies! Twinkies! Twinkies! And a bottle of soda to wash 'em down!

* Carrie didn't do that well, IMHO. But she'll go on. Constantine did bad this week, IMHO. Vonzell did well.

* Star Trek "Enterprise" is going off the air in May. It's time to give that franchise a rest. According to TV Guide, the finale will include Star Trek Next Generation's Marina Sirtis and Jonathan Frakes as part of the story line. Ah, time travel with Counselor Troi and Commander Riker. Or is that Captain Riker? In any case, can't be a finale without time travel.

* Lunch... Hmm.... Lunch.
