We Are Winning

The disaster known as Sanjaya got through to the top eight last night. Please visit votefortheworst for details. If this thing goes through all the way, there may still be democracy existing in the world. Watch this, though. If Sanjaya wins American Idol, we will probably see an American Idol Electoral College installed for a little bit of control over the proceedings. Or, there will be a series of text messages that didn't get sent a la hanging chads. Or, perhaps they will find a bunch of votes in Ohio or Florida. At the very least, it's evident that the majority is pointing and laughing rather than really taking this competition seriously. That would be a little validating, I have to admit.
