Stormy Weather in the Spring Evening

Ok, Jordin won American Idol tonight, with 73 million people calling in to vote. I was not impressed with many of the singers, but hope Jordin can keep singing and can make a career of singing. So many singers crash and burn quickly. Paula Abdul broke her nose falling over her dog and was snippy to Simon.
The weather we have been having around the heartland seems to have made everyone grumpy. The last several days have been hazy and hot humid and windy and tonight we are getting noisy thunderbommers, but not much rain. We wanted the sagbag winter to go away, and now that it is gone, we are whining about the hot weather. But we are in shorts and sandals season, so what is there to moan about.
The body of one of the GIs kidnapped in Iraq has been found in the Euphrates river. And apparently Qaeda put out a video that got on ABC news showing the Capitol building being blown up(I missed seeing the bit and perused it on Drudge). The ABC news blog was so full of bizzare comments that one wonders if there is something in the US water system. And much of what was on the talk shows tonight was about a brawl Rosie and Hasselback had about whether US troops were "terrorists." And RO'D slammed Liz for being a Christian.
I found some interesting Utube clips of Stalin, and the big victory parade held in Red Square at the end of WW2 in '45, when the famous scenes of the Russians burning German battleflags was held, and Marshal Zhukov rode a white horse across the square on a red carpet. Very interesting stuff to get to watch. The comments by viewers were goofy stuff, with college kids(?) commenting on whether Hitler or Stalin was the greatest hero in history. And someone has put online a collection of North Korean marching music.
The latest storm session has just rolled in and it is raining noisily.
I am now going to send this rambling posting into cyberspace and then finish watching Raymond (Marie made a sculpture that looks like a female bodypart). So much news-so little time to absorb it all. You all take care. Di di mau!
