I can't remember which Kevin Smith movie this happened in, but there's a scene where the main character is in turmoil, unburdening himself to Jay and Silent Bob.  Jay turns to Bob and says something like, "This is the place where you usually come out with something smart and helpful."  Bob looks like he's about to spew some golden words of wisdom but stops suddenly, shrugs and says, "I got nothing."

That's sort of how I feel tonight about American Idol.  I got nothing.  Nothing funny to say, that is.  Maybe it's because we're down to three contestants.  Maybe it's just that there was nothing obvious that I could pick on.  Even Paula was coherent.

It's not that the contestants performed brilliantly on all three of the songs they sang.  There were some good moments and some clunkers.  Just nothing that inspired obvious mockery.  Hmm.  Maybe it's me.  If I was a contestant, Randy would say, "I don't know, dawg.  It just didn't cut it for me."

About the only funny thought I had was that when David A. sang, "Longer Than", he should have substituted the lyrics, "Longer than I've been alive."

Maybe next week!
