Ethnic Idol?

Well, another season of American Idol has come and gone. And, yet another season where I easily predicted the winner without even watching it. I don't have any proof other than telling my wife and coworkers, so for those of you who don't know me, you'll have to take my word for it that I guessed the winner.

I am no magician , so I will share my secret with you. Before I do, take a look at the past American Idol winners in chronological order:

Kelly Clarkson
Ruben Studdard
Fantasia Barrino
Carrie Underwood
Taylor Hicks
Jordan Sparks

Do you see it yet? Look at the sex and race of each winner:

White female
Black male
Black female
White female
White male
Black female

It's not perfect, but had Carrie Underwood and Fantasia switched years, it would be a perfect switch off each year between races! It's pretty understandable considering the politically-correct-ness of America today. Also, minus Carrie Underwood, it's a perfect switchoff between male and female! It's quite the coincidence, if you ask me. So, garnered with this knowledge, I predicted before the season started that a black female would win this year. Sure enough, when Jordan made it to the finals, it was a no-brainer. So, next year look for a male for sure, and he will probably be white unless they decided to go black so they can switch up the race of the sex that wins (so it won't be black female/white male every other time). No racism here...just the facts.

Oh, yeah, and the Giants just swept the Astros. Zito finally found his dominance again, which, according to Bengine Molina, was hindered by a thumb that was jammed in Colorado. I guess I could see that, but from what I saw he was just plain throwing more strikes last night. You don't give away many walks, and you'll always be in much better shape. And speaking of Bengie, did anyone think that he'd be carrying this team offensively instead of Bonds? He has been the definition of clutch with an average of .421 with runners in scoring position and .524 with runners in scoring position with 2 outs! Unbelievable! This, so far, is looking to be a fantastic signing by Sabean, which is something we've gone without for a long time.
