American Idol Buzz
Gold medalist Carly Patterson was clearly out of her element away from the gymasium (though it seems she's been hanging at the Mickey D's instead since she retired.) I personally thought she was by far the weakest and sorry, I hate "I Hope You Dance" anyway. I thought Chris Jericho's first performance was weak, like he was overcompensating for being a rocker and big-time wrestler by trying to do sensitive. Didn't work. I didn't mind his duet with Peter Frampton rocking out "Signed, Sealed, Delivered." But that was a bad song choice. Why were these two doing an R&B classic instead of something a bit more rock like Boston or the Cars or, well, anything from the 96rock playlist? Ratings were somewhat disappointing: 8.1 million viewers. That's worse than "So You Think You Can Dance,“ slightly better than "Hell's Kitchen." This is proof it's difficult to beat the original — or in this case, TWO originals in "Dancing with the Stars" and "American Idol." Anyway— let's have you thoughts!

Liberal Fascism: A (Really Long) Review
For example FDR's National Recovery Administration threatened jail time for those who refused to put up the famous NRA blue eagle. In a separate chapter Goldberg demonstrates the Progressive fondness for eugenics, perhaps summed up by Progressive icon Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., who as a Supreme Court justice favored forcible sterilization of the mentally retarded, stating in the particular case, "Three generations of imbeciles is enough." Or as H.G. Wells wrote in an introduction to a book by Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, "We want fewer and better children...and we cannot make the social life and the world-peace we are determined to make, with the ill-bred, ill-trained swarms of inferior citizens that you inflict on us (272)." As this post in already enormous, I will briefly sum up the rest of the book. Goldberg takes these Progressive ideas and traces them to contemporary liberalism. This is of limited success. The Progressive (and fascistic) tendencies are most clear on the radical left of the 60s, with its obsession with violence, revolution, and power all in the name of reworking civilization on enlightened grounds. In the latter half of the book Goldberg does tend to see fascism everywhere. For example, he portrays the Kennedy administration as a quasi-fascistic youth cult. Well, Kennedy was young and he would have been politically foolish not to make the best of that fact.
