If any of y'all watched America's Got Talent Tuesday night, you know a young fella from Waveland, Mississippi named Michael Grimm won the competition, beating out 10 year old opera singer Jackie Evancho, the girl with the voice of an angel.

I think everyone who called in to vote knows the little girl's future and fame are assured and she has years to count on it, whereas Michael Grimm has sung in bars and dives before going to California for a final stab at making it. He seemed in shock at winning. He promised his grandparents whose home was destroyed in Katrina that he would build them a new house if he won.
I really like his husky singing voice, and his final appearance was a duet with another singer I like, Donna Summer. Backstage, Summer made him promise "don't show me up!" Go Michael, and best of luck.

Meanwhile, core samples 80 miles from the Horizon well site is showing two inches of oil coating the seafloor. (Cringe..)

Also, news of a drug resistant superbug brought back to the US from people who have gone to India for medical treatment has sickened people in three states already. The bacterium has been named NDM-1, named for New Delhi, where it is widespread. The World Health Organization and CDC say it could spread rapidly, and no new antibiotics are being developed that could stop it.

Lastly, Abbott Drug company is considering pulling Meridia, a weight loss drug off the market because it can cause death in people with cardiovascular disease. European regulators pulled the product off the market in January.

Bye for now, susil
