And now they’ve given her a makeover, damn it (take a look after the jump).

Look at what they’ve done to her! Ms. Boyle has gone from the charity worker living in a small village in Scotland to the fashionable mother who gets her “tea” at the fancy eat-ins and attends wine and cheese tasting events in her spare time. She’s wearing a Burberry scarf for Heaven’s Sake! Do you think anyone in her village wears Burberry? And is that a leather jacket? Good grief…

Sure, Ms. Boyle didn’t appear to be a “superstar” when she appeared on Britain’s Got Talent, but it was that lack of that typical image that actually made her a superstar. Here’s hoping that even though she’s received a makeover, she retains that village charm that made the whole world forget about their problems – even if for just a few minutes – and root her on.

There are so many intricacies in the Minnesota election that it would be hard to list them all in one spot. For example, both the Republicans and the Democrats claim that the other party is trying to “steal” the election. I, admittedly, don’t know much about the ins and outs of the “who is stealing what” scenario, but I think that the rest of America has two very easy solutions for Minnesota.

Solution Number 1: Count each vote over again and come to a resolution on who had the most votes. Alright, I understand that there are allegations of vote tampering on either side of the election and that there was even allegations of more votes being counted in a district than eligible voters. Okay, fine. If Franken and Coleman can’t agree to that then…

Solution Number 2: Have a do over! My God, it worked in grade school during recess and gym class – maybe we could learn something from the simplicity of children who realize that they aren’t fully aware of what happened and thus opt to give it another shot. It’s obvious that no matter who wins the election in Minnesota that there will be lingering feelings of outrage and anger so why not just close this ugly chapter and have another election?

The Minnesota issue needs to be solved sooner rather than later. This is not a good thing for the democracy in that state or this nation.
