Hamilton, you left out what may be the most explosive aspect of this case:
Vermont State Police are looking for Earl Frost, 34 who turned it in. Authorities say he came to their attention when his partner, Richard Duncan, of Royalton, called to report a domestic fight with him.
Jesus, that totally changes the dynamic of a number of public policy disagreements we're having right now, doesn't it?

I'm a little late to the party, but...
Can I go outside-the-box a bit on #2?
When I first read this -- I also agree it seems to be about Idol -- I thought Shania Twain could fit either 2.4 or 2.7, for the reasons others have expressed. But could another possibility for 2.4 be Mariah Carey?
family issue = she's pregnant and due sometime around the end of the year-ish
man issue = hubby Nick Cannon hosts America's Got Talent "on another network".
Q: is Mariah Carey "past-her-peak"?

Sorry for being late to this party, but, for #2, might I suggest Alex O'Loughlin? His "latest flop" would be "Three Rivers", which CBS yanked last fall after just 8 episodes. CBS is "burning off" the last 5 new episodes now. His last one-season flop was "Moonlight", also on CBS. In spite of this, CBS is giving him another shot in this fall's "Hawaii Five-O" reboot.
@Maura Johnston: D'oh! Can't believe I didn't think of these possibilities:
Nick Cannon / Mariah Carey
Marc Anthony / Jennifer Lopez
3. Sounds like Keith Urban (Nicole Kidman) or Brad Paisley (Kimberly Williams Paisley) to me.
Wait -- it's already noon and still no post about Lady GaGa??? Becky and Robbie are not impressed...or are still asleep...
4. Susan Boyle?
Very well written, but...
"the cajun boy" must identify her/himself. Otherwise, everything s/he writes will be subject to a call of "bullshit".
Also, by the way, when is "the cajun boy" or John Cook going to reprint the email from Denton that says "run with this story this is gold even if you have to reprint anonymous emails to anonymous reporters..."
Hey, that "No Boundaries" song is pretty good...it's very inspirational, and it reminds me that today is the tomorrow of my yesterday...
And that "Boom Boom Pow" song...is that a remix? Where's the silence and AI logo???
1) (raising hand!!! I had a first-class ticket on the Syesha train last season)
2) dull, dull, dull nite. I blame the generic "sing any damn song from any damn movie" "theme".
3) Anoop had a serious Luther+(Ne-Yo) thing going on, didn't he? I thought he nailed that song.
4) As much as I love Allison, that performance was maybe just a'ight for me, Dog. For me! She's lucky (I hope) that Lil, Matt and Danny were also pretty meh.
I approve.
1) I'm not at all shocked that Scott was the one to get the boot this week, but I am shocked that Anoop was within 0.1% of the vote from going instead. Y'all may recall that our Idolator ranked Anoop's performance as the best of the nite, and I agreed that it was in the undifferentiated top 4.
2) Word on the love for Jackie Brown, which I've always enjoyed more than QT's other also-excellent films.
3) Word on the love for "Across 110th Street".
@Al Shipley: Dan wrote it up a while back, but he seemed to like the idea, actually:
@ Dan Gibson, @disasterevolved: Band That Wouldn't Die To Tour With Band That Won't Go Away
Sorry, but I'm new here. Which band is which???
Thanks for linking to the Adam vid in your earlier post. Now that I've had time to see that -- and re-see Allison's performance -- I feel confirmed in my suspicions from last nite.
Your top four are absolutely the top four, tho I might quiblle a bit on positioning. But who really cares? They *are* the top four.
And ditto on the bottom four, who were all middlingly maybe-okay-but-not-great-at-all last nite.
If Allison makes it to the top two, I think I don't really care if Adam wins. He'll have a great career on Broadway, because what he does is not so much singing as becoming a singing performer. Allison is a freakin' *singer*, sorta a mash-up of Kelly Clarkson, Christina Aguilera, and P!nk. She's talented AND marketable, and what Idol has found only twice since it began.
Team Allison!
@Chris Molanphy: Also, it used to be "tha Funkee".
@brasstax: I have no idea where that money, which is not really a lot anyway, went, obvs, but I'll personally pay Allison $5 if she performs any of these songs from 1992 next week:
"Achy Breaky Heart"
"Cop Killer"
"Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover" (actually, she would probably *kill* that...)
"Sex Type Thing" (ditto)
"What's Up"
@Rob Murphy: Alexis Grace, not news-personality Glick.
Get a brain, moran!
I was just looking at Allison's wikipedia entry so I could make bad jokes about what song she might choose next week, and I see that she was the champion on Quinceañera three years ago. I had never heard of this show, but it appears to be (have been?) some sort of "Idol Jr."-like Latina singing competition.
I believe this is new information to me.
Y'all caught the quick shot of Jason Castro and Alexis Glick side-by-side in the audience, no?
