Quick post about “American Idol” before getting back to writing:

1. McPheever looks like it runs into a a couple 500 mg Tylenols whenever the judges critique her. To be fair, it does seem like they’ve had it out for her for the past few weeks. Will Judy Garland whisk her into the next round?
2. “Have a good time funky” Taylor’s got the power of the Omega-3 fatty acids with his 3-6-9 phone number configuration. With the blessings of anti-inflammatories and good cholesterol, he’s going through to the next round.

4. Dial Idol, which helps you speed dial your “American Idol” votes and measures busy signals of the various phone numbers, backs me up on the power of the anti-inflammatories (through 21 eliminations, they have been 85% correct):

• BROWSE / IN TIMELINE
• « we’re overdue for an impeachment/recall
• » slinging hash

• BROWSE / IN popularity contests
• « we’re overdue for an impeachment/recall
• » speaking of populist entertainment,
