American Idol, or American Idiots?

Taylor Hicks of “American Idol” received 63.4 Million votes to become the show’s latest winner. 63.4 MILLION votes. That's more than any presidential candidate in U.S. history!!! I realize the show is a certifiable hit with viewers. I for one , am not one of them. While other people are talking “around the water cooler” about the previous night’s show, I just roll my eyes, shake my head, and walk off, worried about the fate of this country. It’s sad when the voter turnout for a frakking TV show is better than most elections in this country. What does that say about our priorities? A little troublesome if you ask me. Just a thought.
