The reaction of the Britain's Got Talent judges when Susan Boyle confidently strode on the stage said it all. There were no expectations for success. Our entertainment industry is so trained to judge everything by appearances and age that a singer is judged before she even sings one note. Imagine the absurdity of that. How can you judge a singer by appearance and age?
Susan Boyle has a voice that is transcendent. I watched her video dozens of times, and when I left to meet some friends, her voice still reverberated within me. And it wasn't just her voice. It was her heartfelt delivery and emotional truth.
Where has she been all this time? Singing in a choir in Scotland. Singing karaoke in a local pub.
This raises a point I've always thought about these talent shows: the people who are choosing the singers for music labels aren't getting the real talent that is out there. Susan Boyle is a star. In a few days, there has been over 11 million hits on her YouTube video. That's more than Britney Spears' new single "If U Seek Amy."
Susan Boyle's dream is to become a professional singer. I don't think she has to worry about that any more.

Susan Boyle - Singer - Britains Got Talent 2009 (With Lyrics)
This singer has one of the most powerful voices I have ever heard. Her appearance is the source of mockery and her ambition is laughed at. She is 47 years old and claims never to have been kissed, something that is sure to be rectified soon now that she is famous.

Truck on Fire in Columbia Heights
There's a truck on fire at 10th and Monroe Streets, NW in Washington, DC. My husband is sitting in our study working on his novel and sees billowing smoke going past our window. He doesn't leave his chair, but does take the time to call out to me about the smoke.
I leap to my feet, run to the street and find 10th Street NW blocked off and a truck with flames coming out of it.
All seems to be under control.

Ronson Breakup with Lindsay Lohan Planned for PR
I have some experience analyzing the media, and I can tell by the media placing and timing of the breakup, and the details of how it happened, that Lohan's ex Samantha Ronson planned her breakup with Lindsay Lohan to get a lot of publicity.
There are so many ways to end a relationship. There is absolutely no reason to end one with cameras flashing to the complete surprise of the person you are breaking up with. And there Ronson is, giving the British version of the middle finger to the camera with two celebrity whores hanging on her shoulders. I am a little surprised that US Magazine published the photo. Someone there had to know what that gesture meant.
I feel really bad for Lindsay. Her feelings were used for publicity.
Ronson apparently has a serious substance abuse problem as her family staged an intervention for her that she walked out of. And the family blamed Lindsay Lohan. No, actually it is Ronson's fault. Pressing Ronson to break up with Lindsay Lohan is not going to get her into rehab.
NEWSFLASH: Ronson, nobody knew who you were before dating Lindsay Lohan, and shortly, they will not care if you are dead or alive. In fact, they probably don't now.
We are with you Lindsay.

Unemployment at 15%
That's right! Counting the unemployment of all people out of work and looking for work puts the unemployment rate at 15%. Changing the formula for the unemployment rate was a trick Reagan came up with just prior to bis reelection.
Is the Government ever going to get honest about how bad it is right now? I'd like to see it.
People are starting to feel really optimistic about the recession and its being over soon. Not so fast. There's still millions of ARM mortgages that haven't reset yet. When that happens, there will be another hit to the credit system that is gasping for air already.

Sabotage!
San Francisco suffered a serious attack on its telephone infrastructure when the fiber optic cables servicing 52,214 customers were cut. It took until 4:30 p.m. the next day for service to be fully restored.
No terrorism links are suspected. But imagine that sabotage like this could be a part of an overall plan coordinated with other attacks, like bombings or crime. It's a scary thought.
Hopefully this will be a heads-up to secure the fiber optic cables more carefully in the future.

Dunkin Donuts Robber Returns Cash and is Arrested
Poor kid. He robs a Dunkin Donuts and then feels bad and returns the money, only to be arrested for the initial crime.
I understand arresting him. But can't he be given a kind of break here? He's a kid, he thought better of it and returned the money. They only caught him because he returned the money.
Seriously, I think community service on this one. He made his escape on a bike, for God's sake.

We Need More Mothers Like These
Antonio Cosme Velasco Soriano, 69, was out of jail on a three day pass in Spain when he stopped to taunt the mother of the girl he raped in 1998. So she followed him into a bar after getting some gasoline, poured it on him and lit a match. He died 11 days later.
The mother, whose name is being withheld because Spanish law forbids publicizing the name of a rape victim, has been arrested.
