From politics (moderates who lean to the right) to Pogo (drools during poker stare) to rants (Whatcha expect from savvy, sassy sexagenarians?) to raves (Have you had your kudo today?) -- we never take ourselves too seriously.
We do, however, reserve the right to slaughter an occasional sacred cow. And in case we fail to mention it -- we will never forget....
UPDATE: Paul Potts second performance is linked at the bottom of post.
Thanks to the Anchoress .... If you can listen to this humble young man's voice without goose bumps or eyes welling, you're a stronger person than I.
And he is humble -- don't believe the rumors about his studying with professionals. The talented young man sings in a community opera company and paid to attend a lecture by Pavarotti.
Remember his name. Paul Potts. He reminds me of another young talent who sang for Simon ... Dolittle was her name and she should have won the recent American Idol competition ....
But I digress.
Let Paul get you into the mood for a relaxing weekend.
By the way, the winner of this UK competition will sing for the Queen of England. What an honor it would be for the Queen to host this talented young man's first concert ....
His second performance:
Bravo! Bravo!! Bravo!!!!
