Dancing with our Votes

MADISON, Wis. - A rural Wisconsin man apparently enraged by Bristol Palin's "Dancing with the Stars" routine blasted his television with a shotgun, leading to an all-night standoff with a SWAT team, investigators said.


I'm taking up a collection to pay this man's bail. Can anyone blame him for shooting his TV? I'm surprised he waited so long.

Velveeta does not even watch this show that others are complaining about; it's called "Dancing with the Stars" and don't get me started on what a "Star" is. Grrr. A Star is someone that doesn't need to be called a Star, they simply are. Sean Penn is such a big Star that he his currently turning down numerous high-paying roles to continue his work in Haiti. Helen Mirren, Star. Cher, Star. Al Pacino, Star. Bristol Palin? Hell NO!

At best, this show could be called, "Dancing with a Celebrity". Celebrities are people that you recognize due to their newsworthiness whether they are a Non-Scripted TV person like cartoon New Jersey-ite The Situation, or your local TV weatherperson, or the guy you've seen trying to pick up a 14 year girl and met through Chris Hanson on "To Catch a Predator". These are celebrities, and that is what you get on this Dancing show on ABC.

But the Hub-bub-a-loo is not over whether the people are Stars or not (NOT). It's over the voting system. Seems that regular people who know nothing about dance movement can phone or text into ABC and vote on, supposedly, who is the best. Is it a talent show or a popularity show seems to be the question.

After watching Bristol "perform" it has become a popularity show.





If you can make it through this clip try watching it twice. Sorry, even those who know nothing about dance can clearly see that her partner, Mark, is doing ALL the work. Bristol is busy alright, busy trying to count and trying to remember the steps and trying to remember to smile. Poor Mark, a professional, is trying is very best to keep the count and keep her on rhythm. Basically, she has no technique whatsoever.

But this isn't really about the dancing. No, it's about the voting.

I could not care any less about any of the Palin's or this TV show. But I do care about my vote, whether it be for my local, state or national politician or it be for a vapid TV show who's only goal is to sell me cheap electronics made by small children in China and Snuggies made by slaves in a sweat shop.

Like many, I do believe that the votes on this show are being skewed by people with an agenda, and this agenda has violent political undertones. Yes, violent. Some people want America to stay divided, and some of those who want us to stay divided are the Palin family. They claim to be American and wrap themselves in the flag, all while driving a stake through the heart of this country.

The FBI and Los Angeles Police Department on Saturday continued to investigate who sent a white powdery substance to the set of "Dancing With the Stars," causing the studio to be evacuated Friday.

ABC released a statement saying the substance turned out to be harmless.

"An envelope containing an unknown substance was delivered to the 'Dancing With the Stars' production office on Friday evening," the statement read. "Security and the Los Angeles Fire Department and Los Angeles Police Department were immediately notified. Measures were taken to secure the area and ensure the safety of personnel. Ultimately we were advised by the LAFD that the substance was determined to be talcum powder."

FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said the envelope was opened by mail room staff and also contained a threatening letter. She would not comment as to whom the letter was addressed.


Congratulations Bristol. Dance away!
