I don't know why I watch TV

Mr. Doodlebug and I have been watching American Idol. We saw most of the season in which Ruben Studdard won, but haven't watched other seasons. Simon's comments are definitely the most accurate and constructive. Paula's comments are always positive, sometimes they're about the physical attractiveness of the contestant if she can't think of anything good to say about their performance. I believe Paula was drunk during last night's show. She must have had rum mixed with her Coke in those conspicuously placed Coke glasses.

After American Idol a new show came on called Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader. They could not have chosen dumber people, which I am sure was not an accident. One of the questions was, "What country has the longest border with the United States?" The contestant was from San Diego and therefore thought that Mexico had the longest border. She said she always hears about the border control problems with Mexico so they must have the longest border. The fifth grader who she chose to help her out got the question correct, of course, and saved her ass.

I will not be watching another episode of Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader. It's crap.
