American Idol Season Six – Seattle auditions

Reportedly the worst stop on the auditions tour this year.
Brandon Groves. The guy who sang “I Shot the Sheriff” to Paula last season. Now he is dressed as Uncle Sam to sing “God Bless America”. And it’s bad.
Jennifer Chapton. The hotness. “Give Me Your Love”. Give me some earplugs. Wow, no wonder Paula went on the local Seattle show smashy smashed. She needed something to get through the pain of Seattle.

That wacky Keith Olbermann says 24 is “naked propaganda” while others ask if its a “neocon sex fantasy.” This is opinion where at least some of the Kwazy Kos Kids diverge with messiah Oblermann. On the other hand, SarahK is thinking of giving up on 24 because Jack Bauer killed Curtis (incidentally, I heard a rumor that was how Tony was supposed to die last season, i.e., Bauer was going to shoot him while he tried to kill Robocop, but they decided they didn’t have enough time in the season to explore the emotional effect that would have on Bauer).
I’ve noticed right-wing message in 24, but I’ve also seen left-wing talking points. So, what do you think? Is 24 all fear mongering to get us to vote Republican (and exterminate cougars)? I know I’ve only voted Republican since it first started airing. Coincidence? I think not!

Dean Barnett has an FAQ on roughly the same subject.
