Tom Delay --Dancing with the Stars...WHAT?

I was watching the news this morning and I was halfway paying attention to the "filler" stories when one of the news anchors released information on Tom Delay possibly going on the popular TV show Dancing with the Stars.

This topic interested me for several reasons one being that he graduated from my high school and the other being that he was involved in a huge scandal in 2006 involving the Jack Abramoff case. It was reported that Abramoff gave free trips, money, and other goods to Delay when he was in office. After the rumors started the Justice Department began to investigate Delay and soon after Delay resigned from being Majority Leader in the House of Representatives.

Going back to the subject of dancing with the stars. My reaction to this rather odd news is, more than anything, laughter! Although this would make for some good entertainment, I feel that there are better people for this very entertaining show.

Remember that one time...

... When I actually posted in this blog.

Hah.

Well, my unsaid hiatus is now over and back to posting somewhat relevant nonsense.


FOR YOUR EARS:

"I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend" - Black Kids



Incredibly infectious.

BLACK KIDS - This indie/synthpop band hails from Jacksonville, FL, which is refreshing since the Sunshine State is mainly known for churning out sugared down boy bands, and well... Creed. The Kids just started touring yesterday, kicking it off down under in Auckland, Australia. They'll be touring the whole Spring, playing with the Kaiser Chefs in England and the Mates of State when hitting the U.S. cities. Check out their tour dates and other mumbojumbo at blackkidsmusic.com


Sounds like: The bastard child of MGMT and CSS, concieved at a Dylan's Candy Bar.

Why they're awesome: They toured with Kate Nash. I mean, that alone deserves some sort of medal.
