Vote for your next UN Idol! -- The irrepressible Mr. Sun has a brilliant suggestion for spicing up international politics: replace the UN Security Council with Randy, Paula and Simon from American Idol. Think about it...they squabble, but they reach consensus; lots of personality; high recognition factor; global reach. Can't say the same for the current crop, now can we?

And speaking of my favorite...uh, make that only reality show, can we get some love for Anwar Robinson? He's the dreadlocked music teacher from North Jersey -- here's hoping he gets his deserved spot in the Top 12, instead of, say, Pudge Rock or Foolish Cutie. Go Anwar!
