This is So Much More Crazy than Paula

We're not sure which was the more startling news this morning - that Chris Daughtry was (wrongfully) voted off American Idol last night, or that George W. Bush knew beforehand that Katharine McPhee would sail through to the final three. What good is phone-tapping and having an army if we can't prevent things like that?

Katie Couric gave both news stories equal play this morning on the Today show. After sharing her dismay that Chris was voted off, she jumped right into the breaking news that the National Security Agency (NSA) had collected massive amounts of phone records on average Americans from the three largest phone companies. The agency has admitted that most of the records collected were of everyday citizens who were not suspected of terrorist links.

You know that feeling of shame you got when you look over your Cingular bill to see that you, indeed, voted for Taylor Hicks 8 times last month (again, thats IDOLS-02)? You should feel embarrassed as well. The nannies in the federal government who hacked into your phone records apparently know your shameful secret.

Paula can'tbelieve that Cingular sold her out.
