(Video) With 56% of votes, David Cook - not Archuleta - is the ‘American Idol’
May 22, 2008
Turns out Simon Cowell was wrong: David Cook won American Idol today, beating crowd favorite David Archuleta by a margin of 12 million votes.
In yesterday’s finale performances, Simon Cowell criticized Cook, declaring that his song choices had sunk him while telling 17-year-old Archuleta he scored a “knockout” against the 25-year-old bartender.
But the votes were on Cook’s side. More than 56% of a record 97.5 million text and phone votes were made for Cook, besting Archuleta by more than 12 million votes.

Or so says acerbic judge Simon Cowell.
If it were up to Cowell, 17-year-old David Archuleta sealed his fate as the next American Idol after his “knockout” performance beat 25-year-old David Cook’s.
(UPDATE: Simon’s wrong. David Cook won American Idol!)
Of course, it’s the votes that still count so wait until tomorrow when the actual winner is announced.
In the finale of the top-rated show American Idol, David Archuleta and David Cook each performed three songs.
In the first round, David Cook sang U2’s “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For.” For his part, David Archuleta sang the Elton John anthem “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me.” Both received equally stellar reviews but all the same, Cowell declared Archuleta the winner.

Crying Babies - Transcript of Lozada-de Venecia wiretapped conversation
February 21, 2008
The plot thickens in the NBN-ZTE issue.
While the Senate interrogates witnesses in the corruption-laden National Broadband Network project, a video appeared on YouTube supposedly containing the wiretapped conversation between NBN-ZTE “star witness” Jun Lozada and Rep. Joey de Venecia.
The conversation, laced with profanities from both parties, dealt with the supposed bribery in the NBN deal and discussed another potential kickback with regard to the “Chinese embassy thing.”
The Inquirer reported that de Venecia did not deny it was his voice talking about a $130-million kickback allegedly demanded by former Commission on Elections Chairman Benjamin Abalos. He claims it was Abalos who probably masterminded the release of the wiretapped conversation on YouTube.
Listen to the alleged Jun Lozada- Joey de Venecia conversation and read the transcript after the jump.
Where are the Pinoy scandals?
December 12, 2007
Where have all the Pinoy scandals gone?
A while ago, I saw the words “Pinoy Scandals” advertised on the Google text links ad unit at the right sidebar of this page. Out of curiosity, I decided to click on the text link to find out what sites are being advertised. (Seriously, I’m just curious…)
(FYI, clicking on the text link per se does not violate Google Adsense’s policies. Publishers are not paid for clicks on the initial topics, but on the ad clicks on the linked page.)
What appeared after clicking the “Pinoy Scandals” text link topic?
