Maybe it's just me, but I can't name a single song that I first heard of from Eurovision.

It's all a bit of a blur of Lordi, the saxophone guy, and indistinguishable Southern European power ballads.

And why do Europeans watch it? Because frankly I've seen it and it's so boring.

It has its own unique charm that is impossible to explain to non-fans.

Because it's such an oddity with such a kitschy sense of charm that it's almost brilliant.

By March, all the songs for Eurovision are released and in May, some people who watch it won't know the songs but some Eurofans will already know the songs as they have listened to them now they are all released.

That would take a Constitutional Amendment.

Also, it's not nearly silly and destructive enough for a place as a seriously proposal in American politics.

Note to self: do not ever ever ever thank the Korean sushi chef at the sushiya in his language again. Lest he gets excited, comes out, thinking you speak it and starts talking to you rapidly in it. :? Now I’m super embarrassed and can’t even look at him.

I was just trying to be nice. *sob*
