• NEW YORK (Reuters) - British Rock star Elton John, a guest judge this month on the U.S. talent hunt TV series "American Idol," said on Tuesday that he found the voting by the national viewing audience "incredibly racist."
  
  John, who heard the wannabe pop stars perform his songs during an appearance on the FOX TV show, added his voice to a chorus of dissent that followed last week's shock exit of black vocalist Jennifer Hudson, considered one of the top talents among those vying for a recording contract.
  
  "The three people I was really impressed with, and they just happened to be black, young female singers, and they all seem to be landing in the bottom three," said John, commenting on the tally in which the lowest vote-getter is eliminated.
  
  "They have great voices. The fact that they're constantly in the bottom three -- and I don't want to set myself up here -- but I find it incredibly racist," John said at a news conference promoting his Radio City Music Hall concert backed by an orchestra of students from London's Royal Academy of Music and The Juilliard School of New York.

Size 12, my man. If you're in need of someone that size, you need to rephrase like so: "He could've hired some local talent at the local byob strip club to model it..."

It's good to see you all again, but what happened to me? I've been digitally defenestrated. Maybe MR is on it. Otherwise, someone please call the Wolf, 'cause I need some clean-up.

careful fringe. I'm pretty sure thats an implant, and a bad job at that.

The shorts? Or the toe fungus?

And, flintlette, not that I am narcissistic but if you are addressing me it would be "ltl" not "ltb." Unless you are being "creative" or whatever and eliding the ltl/fb.

What kind of liberal wuss are you that you give up your last name just because you get reamed in the ass by the fascist dictators that run this board? I'm thinking Ashcroft is really to blame. Your phone is probably tapped too.

I was under the impression that jean shorts are acceptable only for yard work, if then... Am I wrong?

All hell has broken loose without you there to moderate the PB. There are open and messed up HTML tags all over the place.

If you are the person who defenestrated me, I will beat you severely about the head and shoulders until you are so ugly that sebby will not want to see you naked. Digitally beat you, that is.

Oh, for my lost collection of salacious PMs.

I thought sebby said the chicks at the byob place are just out of their training bras. Was he not mainly correct about this?

I'll be riding my next wave of hedonism, but I'll make sure to tell the Alpha Chis to circle the problem areas on your ass...

Jeez, Coltrane, you get a full day's reprieve and this is the best you can do? I've seen you wear vintage tees from Urban Outfitters that are funnier and more original.

Coltrane's my yard boy. He's trying to work his way up to laundry boy. If he's lucky, someday he may make cabana boy. But he needs to grow some hair. On his head. The one on top of his shoulders.

Not all fatties are chesty. To my unrelenting dismay.

Does anyone have a beer?

Glad I don't work by the hour anymore.

Oh damn, I almost forgot. When I woke up this morning I had a discussion with my wife about how to handle this problem. Here's the skinny:

My wife is friends with this girl from highschool. She and her husband and child like to invite themselves to stay at our place when they come to town. Well, maybe that's a bit harsh. They do give us the chance to respond.

The last time they stayed with us, it was a complete nightmare. After that, my wife and I agreed we would never let them stay with us again.

Well, they've just called and asked to stay with us again. My wife is waffling on our promise to tell these people they can't stay with us. She doesn't want to hurt her friend's feelings and, after all, "it's just for one night."

So, my first question is how do I get my wife to stick to our agreement? And second, if she agrees that this couple should not stay, how do we tell them off without hurting their feelings (the quality of your answers to the second question may directly impact my ability to get my wife to agree on the first issue).

Thanks.

P.S. you guys owe me a couple responses now that I fixed your toy. get to it.

Oh, great. Our technical issues are being addressed by someone so feebleminded he has forgotten how to lie.
