Dolce far niente

"Too much law make people mad." "Hawai'i"

Maybe America hasn't Got that much Talent (or proper syntax)

Despite the judges' protestations to the contrary, this year's show is pretty crappy.  In addition, it's going to be gone temporarily because, as the hostess of the pre-empted Fox dance show ruefully noted, "There's some sporting event on every night for the next two weeks."  (Did I say "crappy."  Does anyone say crappy any more?)

After the break, the 16 mediocre finalists will be supplemented by some other crap from UTube, and the judges will return some of the losers we hoped were gone.  For instance, last night Sharon Osborne said she's bringing back the cloggers who had just been rejected.  Cloggers?

The only hope seems to be that one judge will bring back the ventriloquist whose "dummies" are live dogs who "speak" using the same system of wires made famous by Mr. Ed.  I could vote for them, if, in fact, voting means anything.

If you aren't "uncoordinated," as my mother insisted I was, you might enjoy the Olympic machinations. Personally, I'll be watching baseball from the perspective of statistics, in that I have four fantasy teams that aren't yet completely eliminated.
