Okay, here’s a really important political issue for the long weekend.
Now that American Idol is over, and the wrong people made it to the final, and our own James Durbin, the Santa Cruz kid who was by far the most talented performer on the show, was kicked off way to early in favor of a pair of southern god-fearing country types, maybe it’s time for California to make a statement.
After all, Durbin’s a hard rock guy from a crazy Left Coast town, has become an inspiration for people with disabilities, and is all aobut the California spirit. So we ought to show him some love. How about the state Legislature declares Durbin the “California Idol 2011?” Invite him up to perform outside the Capitol. Have a party. Rock out. Tell the southerners that, with all due respect, we stand by our man.
At least it would take everyone’s mind off the budget for a few hours.
Who wants to introduce the resolution?
