DWTS

Well, now that the season is over, I guess I can write about Dancing With the Stars. Which I never watch. At least not this season. Which interested me a lot because of Kurt Warner.

I never watched the result show either. I just read about it. Far too much. And my complaints are few.

Numero Uno--why so much outright hatred for the Palin girl? I think she's still a teen, but I really don't know. I don't think I'd be able to recognize her if I saw a picture not denoting her identity. I'm not a big Sarah Palin fan; in fact, I think she's so divisive that I hope she doesn't run for Prez. But gimme a break. People are freaking out about her daughter because it's her daughter. Would they have a conniption, as my my mother used to say, if the Gore kids, the Obama daughters, Chelsea Clinton, or certainly anybody named Kennedy were treated that way? Let's be fair minded. C'mon.

Numero dos--why are the partners professionals? That's not completely fair. A pro can make the other look pretty doggone good if they're worth their salt. Why not pair the Disney guy with the Gray gal. Sarah's daughter with Kurt. You see that leads me to the third reason I don't watch the show.

I'm a pretty bad dancer. I thought one time about 15 years ago that I would be pretty good at line dancing. So, I know friends and loyal reader(s) are now laughing, picturing me line dancing. You see, it was at an office Christmas party and the teachers were there to help us. They were friends of mine, so there was no threat. They started us out slowly and I was getting it. Until something called an electric glide came along. I was done.

Finally, the judges, at least the English guy is/was, I don't know if he still judges, but he was pretty mean to some of the contestants. I know he must have been pretty good on the dance floor himself (I bet he could electric glide with the best of them) but why be critical of those who can't? Unless they're a William Hung, or clueless like the AI contestants that are dolts. But the ones I've seen them slam weren't in that category.

Oh, well, I guess it's a good thing I didn't watch. We have an Arthur Murray studio out here, and I might just have decided to lay out some hard earned cash to learn that electric glide. And if I did, when would I use it?
