This is the result. It has 4 mommies. Alas, it's mommies split and regrouped resulting in 2 mommies and 2 step mommies.

Sanity finally prevailed and it was voted off American Idol

How ironic; it was from Howard Cosell on Monday Night Football I learned he had been killed.

And this is why music is crap. This creature should not even be considered as “talent” on a TV show.

On the other hand, I hear he’s signed a record contract. For 99 cents, he gets 10 records...

That is no he.

In theory, before getting lost on the transgender journey, the creature was a she. Hence the pronoun it.

It it is; I wasn’t sure what it was so I went with he by default based on superficial appearance. As you can tell, I don’t exactly follow the ups and downs of American Idol.

Not when there’s hockey on TV.

I under stand. I selected the most ambiguous photo for the post.

But, the individual is totally screwed if it tries to live away from it’s San Francisco home and 4 mothers

Well maybe he did become a Reagan fan. Dutch has a way with people, and that personal touch was something. Lennon may have come away from meeting him with the same impression as many others:

“I don’t know why people malign him so much; he seems like a decent guy.”

Reagan spent a few minutes explaining to John the rules of American football.

Despite the fact that Lennon had lived in the United States a number of years, it was necessary for Reagan to explain American football to him. That's because Lennon had been living in New York in the mid-1970s watching the Jets and Giants. With that kind of exposure, it's easy to see why he didn't understand football. Jets and Giants fans were convinced their teams didn't understand football either.

I believe his account of Kent State has been seriously challenged, if not discredited—as in the Guard Soldiers were fired upon and they returned fire.

Citation?

To be fair, Nixon started the downhill roll. LBJ left him a mess, but the commies handed us the massive victory of Tet. Had Nixon been able to capitalize on that victory in 1968 General Creighton Abrams would have won the war. He was very supportive of what the Marines were doing in their sector.

Abrams was going to win and his strategy was sound. Even if Vietnamization had gone forward as quickly, the war wasn’t lost. If the AVRN had had US air and artillery support for their ground operations they would have whomped the NVA going forward. They were increasingly more effective and once their incompetent general was fired they would have just gotten better.

That doesn’t excuse Frank Church who essentially handed victory to the commies.

IIRC the Clash are a bit more conservative than the average band. When it comes to taxes they’re all conservatives.

"Had Nixon been able to capitalize on that victory in 1968 General Creighton Abrams would have won the war."

Cronkite ensured that would never happen with his now infamous broadcast.

Snip-

Don Oberdorfer, in his book TET! The turning Pont in the Vietnam War, called the battle a "historical anomaly: a battlefield defeat that ultimately yielded victory." But he doesn’t blame the American media. "Unquestionably," he wrote, "there was misreporting of Tet, especially in the confusing and uncertain days following the attacks." But he denied that press reports contributed significantly to the loss of domestic support.

The late Peter Braestrup, Oberdorfer’s Washington Post colleague from those Vietnam days, disagrees in his 1977 book, Big Story. "Rarely," he wrote, "has contemporary crisis-journalism turned out, in retrospect, to have veered so widely from reality." To have such a defeat for the enemy portrayed also as a major defeat for America, he added, "cannot be counted as a triumph for American journalism." It simply isn’t logically consistent.

Garbage in garbage out and the ethos associated with “The 60’s” that he buys in to is garbage, empty at best, liberal leftist in longterm effect.

I was a very young kid in the 60s, but I know the 'hippy' minority was simply the part that received the most media attention. The media had been leftist for decades by then and the movement was a tool they used to push their leftwing agenda forward.

The vast majority of 60s youth were very normal, and very conservative by today's standards.

But things did begin accelerating leftward in the late 60s, thats true.

A local group known as The Moving Sidewalks lost their keyboard and bass players to the U.S. Army. The two remaining members added another talent and reorganized the band as ZZ Top.

He must've grown up in the Houston area.
