To my knowledge Britain’s Got Talent is an all volunteer army. Sign up if you like, but complaints about how nasty war is aren’t appropriate. If she’d won would she be bitching? God damn freak show anyway. The whole production. And we should be ashamed for crowding into the coliseum to watch it. We’re fucked as a society. Fiddling away like Nero.

I hadn’t seen any of this Dave. It’s a shame. And really, you have to wonder how many people who have the level of glaring attention Boyle had thrust on her really can’t handle it.

I hope she works it out.

I feel for Susan Boyle. The downside of fame is not only the fierce glare of publicity but that once your name is public property, a lot of people feel entitled to speak disparagingly and publicly about you– your looks, your talent, whatever they feel like saying. Twitter was as full of people pulling for Susan Boyle to lose as it was people pulling for her to win.

In India’s ancient past, there was a long history of older kings giving up their thrones, their possessions, everything and wandering the country seeking enlightenment. I guess with great power came great headaches and even heartaches.
