Grammys were last night. I didn't watch- rather stuck with my usual- Extreme Home Makeover and Desperate Housewives. It was a good EHM last night- they built a duplex for 2 homeless families, along with a park, redid the community center, gave 2 jobs away, and let the people at the homeless shelter shop for new clothes. That's a lot of stuff!

I think I can agree with most of these winners (except My Boo- ugh who picked that one?) I'm glad Ray Charles swept instead of Usher. He still picked up 3, but nothing in the big categories.
Bill Clinton won a grammy. Lord help us all.
