Do you think Crystal Bowersox would be American Idol’s Winner this Year?

May 25th, 2010 Ghel

crystal-bowersoxIf you answer yes, one blogger actually thinks otherwise. Lyndsey Parker said that although judges thought that the AI9 would be a “female dominated season” because of the promising voices and talents of the girl contestants, there is a big chance that Crystal Bowersox would not win this season.

We all know that the success of the contestants in AI depends on the votes made by the viewers. There are more and more teenage girls and others who are watching the said show compared to the number of men who follow the said singing contests. This is actually the main reason why the male contestants have a big advantage in American Idol.

Rather than voting because they think that the voice of the contestant deserves the right to be in the limelight, the audience places their votes depending on who gives their hormones the rush.  The male American Idol followers on the other hand may be rooting for a female contestant like Crystal Bowersox. Unfortunately, they don’t care about voting or just too lazy to put their fingers on the keypads of their mobile phones and vote.

Now, unless a group of man would stand and form their Crystal Bowersox fan club, then the female AI 9 contestant would have the chance to be like Jordin Sparks or Carrie Underwood.

Kwame Kilpatrick to Serve 5 Years in Prison

May 25th, 2010 Ghel

kwame-kilpatrickKwame Kilpatrick, the former mayor of Detroit, got out of the courtroom with his hands in cuffs today. Judge David Groner recently sentenced Kwame Kilpatrick for five years behind the bar.

Kwame Kilpatrick already pleaded guilty last 2008 with charges of obstruction of justice. After he resigned as the mayor of Detroit he spent 99 days at the jail. At the same time, he also gave up his license as a lawyer, gave the city back its $1 million and swore not to enter politics for the next five years.

However, Kwame Kilpatrick violated one of these terms. Rather than giving the full amount of $1 million, he only gave a partial payment. Kwame Kilpatrick said that the salary he gets from the Compuware Corp., located in Texas, decreased.

At the same time, during the several restitution hearings regarding the collection of money that the former mayor owed the city, he failed to give detailed reports about his assets. Kwame Kilpatrick also failed to report the other conditions that are part of his probation.

The prosecutors present in every hearing of Kwame Kilpatrick also said that he had been lying after he got out of jail. They also said that Kilpatrick has the ability to pay more than the partial amount and he had been hiding all his assets intentionally.

Walter E. Williams and his views about the Immigration

May 25th, 2010 Ghel

Walter_E_Williams.Par.89380.ImageFileOne of the most popular columnists today is Walter E. Williams. He has been very outspoken lately regarding the immigration issues in United States. The word-crafty Walter E. Williams expressed his sentiments regarding the immigration by quoting the poem written by Emma Lazarus which can be read at the base of the American icon, the Statue of Liberty.

“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.”

In his statement, Walter E. Williams asked who really has the right to be living in America and how can one get the right to stay in the said country? He was also asking who has the privilege to set the conditions to say that a person is allowed to be in America.

Many illegal immigrants from Mexico have been very honest, law-abiding, and hardworking. However, despite all their sufferings in United States, living in the country without the right papers is still considered as a crime.

With this type of crime, Walter E. Williams asked if amnesty can be done to those who were against the law. Those who support amnesty wish that the illegal immigrants could also get this.

With about 10 to 20 million of illegal immigrants lurking all over United States, how can you actually deport all of them without causing any commotion with the rest of the unlawful immigrant population?

Walter E. Williams’ suggested that the immigration law should be stricter just like in the state of Arizona. Moreover, United States must also change its current unwieldy laws about immigration so that others can live in the country legally.

Lindsay Lohan Has No Choice than To Wear Ankle Bracelet

May 25th, 2010 Ghel

lindsay-lohan-drunk-3-300x280After attending the court, the legal battle for Lindsay Lohan continues as she was ordered to wear an alcohol-detecting ankle bracelet. Also known as the SCRAMx, the ankle bracelet was fitted at the actress’s ankle before she left the L.A. County Courthouse regarding her DUI charges. Although Lindsay Lohan agreed to wear the SCRAMx ankle bracelet that would monitor if she’s been drinking, she and her lawyer first argued with the judge saying that it might cause delays to her scheduled movie filming.

Some people think that this could be the best thing for Lindsay Lohan. Rather than being in jail, she just has to resist the urge to drink alcoholic beverages. The SCRAMx bracelet will be monitoring Lohan every thirty minutes, checking if there are any traces of alcohol. If Lindsay still would still insist on being drunk, she might end up the next morning in jail. The alcohol monitoring bracelet on Lohan’s ankle would remain until July 6, which is her next date with the court.

And with the introduction of the SCRAMx bracelet, parents are now wondering if they too can purchase the same gadget for their teens. Unfortunately (thankfully – on the part of the teens), the SCRAMx is not yet distributed in the public market.
