” Contemporary music on “Idol?” CLEARLY the end of the world is near!! This very well could be our final “American Idol” live blog together!??The contemporary quandary is one that’s always plagued the show. How are these contestants expected to compete in a current pop landscape after the show’s over when all they’ve had to do up to that point is sing Barry Manilow and tunes from the Great Depression? It baffles me that TV’s biggest show hasn’t figured that out yet. Pop music is less about singing ability and more about image. Just ask Lady Gaga. (h wait!

Klinge heard the same thing from fellow brokers in San Diego. He felt that such talk emboldened buyers to take on more debt than they could afford and prompted sellers to ask too much for their houses which would cost them time and money as their homes went unsold. He started blogging his first post questioning the 20% to 30% annual home price appreciation in some neighborhoods and arguing that “sellers have gotten too optimistic and are pricing their houses WAY too high. “Nowadays Klinge said his blog gets about 2000 unique visitors per day. About half his clients now come to him from the blog Klinge said. He closed 43 house deals last year he said down from the 61 sales and purchases he brokered in his peak year of 2004 but enough to keep him in business when many agents have quit.

April 1 2009 1:42 pm Link This blog post is a perfect illustration of why blogging is by and large such an utter waste of time for readers. What a pointless entry. bama has done a magnificent job of treating the press properly in his short tenure – probably extending most reporters far more courtesy than they deserve. The media has degenerated into such a pack of mindless carping attention-grabbing juveniles that it’s painful to watch – especially for those of us who were once reporters ourselves and have even the most basic understanding of a functional press’s role. If he shuts off the idiotic questions before he has to stoop to answering them then that just tells me he really is the right man for the job.
