SHOUT OUT to Whom It May Concern:
Somebody please call off the dogs on that beautiful young woman from California who seems to be healthy enough and not deserving of any personal condemnation. Her original response seemed classy enough to me, qualified as it was, and from the brief clip I've seen of her alongside the eventual winner right before the announcement was made, she probably should have won it all had it been a true beauty contest thing.

** I mean, shouldn't he be doing something shockingly outrageous!, like ranking the sex appeal of federal judges or something? On a somewhat related note, I like Led Zeppelin, really, but this goth creature Adam? That passes for sexxy these days, beyond a small cliquey crowd? Same thoughts about the ex-Doogie Howser's current show, where he plays ... an alleged womanizer? People buy that enough to watch, more than a passing glance? It's the old, "No accounting for taste", I 'spose...
