First Carly, Then Hillary, and Now Robyn?

Dear Universe,

Our month of May is ruined. Carly Smithson was voted off American Idol—which, granted, actually happened in April, but matters now because the finals are in May and she should've at least made the bottom three.

Then, last night, Hillary Clinton got canned in North Carolina and barely eked out of Indiana with a win, suffocating every last hopeful breath that our next president would be a strong, confident woman with a wide range of experience and a respectably broad understanding and command of government. Everyone, including The Stranger's Erica Barnett, is asking her to concede.

But it was all good this morning. You know why? Because Robyn was coming to town next week. But no. Now she's postponed the show until August so that she can appear on the View. And it hurts with every heartbeat.

We'd just like to catch a break, Universe. Perhaps a gas tax holiday this summer? Kidding.

Funny....my candidate of choice, Mr Obama, just smoked in NC, and is on his way to the Dem nomination. One of my favorite bands, Cloud Cult, is playing a sold out show at Neumo's and I have a ticket. AND, to top it all off, I don't watch crappy shows like American Idol! Yea me!

I know, right? If it was the Ellen show, I'd totally understand.

Troy Morris

I'm sorry, but may I interject quickly.

WTF wants to ever be on the View?

Really though. It hurts every inch of my heart, mind and soul when that thing is on. I've tried to watch, but I can't do it without crying.

Katelyn

Yeah Kim, it's NOT ABOUT how men are oppressing all of us ladies, okay? So quit trifling!

girl there is more to life than stressing about this boy-girl-boy-girl thing. shows are canceled all the time, and many women fail to be president, and i don't watch american idol but yo wake up and enjoy life it ain't about gender or rules. you be trifling with this manic panic.
