Ok, I don’t really watch much TV at all. I’ll watch the local news from time to time. Living in the state capital makes for some interesting news. That being said, my wife and I are big fans of American Idol and Dancing with the Stars.

I have my favorites and I cast my votes, but that’s not what this post is about.

Tonight, Dancing with the Stars host Tom Bergeron made a hilarious comment – and I caught the subtle message therein. He was doing the whole bit on making sure you vote for your favorites when he said (I’m paraphrasing):

With what’s going on in the world you feel as if your vote doesn’t count, as if no one’s listening? Well we listen to you, cast your vote.

The sad part is that he’s right. The majority of American want out troops home, and actually voted that way. But, let’s see, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran next! Yep, I’d agree. Only Dancing with the Stars and American Idol listen. At least Edyta is still dancing and Melinda is still singing.
