Idol Top 4 Results – Twist and Out
As I’ve said in previous articles, the results shows with the save/non-eliminations are always the most anti-climatic because you can generally see them coming from a mile away. Subtlety was never really a part of the Idol Machine’s vocabulary. Still, Thursday’s results show was far from unimportant. As the show chugs like an unstoppable steam […]

When World War II is depicted in the media, we normally hear stories of concentration camps or see images of soldiers fighting overseas in Europe. It’s less common to see war stories told of those left behind as those brave men went off to war – stories of the women who, for the first time […]
