Beginning in February 2010, Polk Vision has been in the process of conducting a comprehensive revision of the original priorities and strategies developed in 2004 which we are calling "Polk Vision Refresh." We have been gathering community input through focus groups, social media communications and surveys....
Yes, yet again, I'm 18 hours late posting the chat from American Idol viewers Lorrie and Chuck. It's OK, we don't expect you to read it anyway. You really shouldn't...well, except you'll mis that one thing Lorrie said.....it really was funny.
Yes...this was posted after the winner was announced, but written as the penultimate episode was telecast. So, sit back and read how Chuck and Lorrie called every shot perfectly correct...except for predicting the winner.
We're spoiling the results this week to save you the pain of watching the show....
Tonight, or actually last night, Crystal, Casey and Lee sang a pair of songs. Yes, it should have been Crystal, Siobhan and Lilly, but that's what you get when you let the public vote. Because we like pain, Lorrie and I watched American Idol and this is what we found....
Warning: the following chat should not be read while operating a computer. Metro i4News is not responsible for any persons falling asleep while scanning this article....
Yet again, we make fun of American Idol. The show has eliminated most of the true talent and we're forced to ramble on. We have that kind of dedication. Do you?
My partner, Lorrie Delk Walker, isn't with us as she is still upset that Siobhan lost last week. Or she needed sleep. Or something. I once promised to stop watching if she or Crystal left the show, but with Lorrie out...I am forced to soldier on.
Yet again we prove just how boring it is to watch an American Idol results show...even when you get a surprise or two. Well, one. And the boring music acts you have to suffer through...and, worse, the....well, you get the idea...Enjoy!
Yet again, our Terrible Two is poised to watch American Idol, so you don't have to. Of course, if you don't and try to read this column, you'll be befuddled and bewildered...

A little something new...time delayed chat. Lorrie watched the show live and Chuck an hour later...and it turned out to be the train wreck you expected. American Idol, not the chat. The theme was "Inspirational Songs" and neither of our critics found inspiration in this week's episode of "Can you believe Miley Cyrus Turned Out Better Singers than Alicia Keys?"
Stop. Don't read below. It's a chat from a American Idol results show. An unedited chat. This is worse that your Aunt Daisy "tweetin" about her new birdbath....
Last week was a waste of time.....as the American Idol judges chose to save Big Mike. What? You thought I was going to type that it was a waste of time to save our our live chat? No, no. We do it for one reason....the page views. Everyone looking up "Release the Kracken" is sure to end up reading this....
