The News Tribune has a great piece about Sanjaya's homecoming to Federal Way, Washington. He did get his very own day after all, so thanks to everyone who wrote to the mayor and council members to help out. It looks like great things are happening for our papaya, and we're so happy for him. He truly is the star of the season thanks to his fans and us!

As a additional bonus, they keep mentioning him on the show and in the news. They *know* they lost a good thing.

Let's make sure we keep supporting Sanjaya of the Ponyhawk.

The judges and ryan all keep mentioning him because they know their ratings are taking a beating since he left... they would like to have him come back I think, if only for the ratings spike.

its about time with all the mounting media attention and publicity Sanjaya got - he certainly deserves 2 days of Sanjaya day.

The only shocker for Idol next week would be for them NOT to mention Sanjaya.

Congrats to our hula-ing papaya! I really have to give him props; he got to Hollywood on his own singing merits, as he was definitely within the top 12 guys vocally this year. Then, when he outlasted better vocalists and became the worst one standing, I wouldn't have blamed him if he just lied down and called it quits. Instead, Sanjaya and his hair kept keeping things interesting and keeping the show worth watching, even though illiterate idiots kept on bashing him for it (just look at the mailbag.) To be so accepting and professional about the role that AI and VFTW put him in, and to keep us entertained; I think he deserves more credit than Jordin for his maturity at the ripe age of 17. Go Sanjaya, we'll always be backing you!

Don't forget: he comes back for the Finale. Go Papaya! If the producers want people tuning in for that 2 hour crap-tacular, they better give him some pimping performance slots.

If you want to see a couple of video clips of this appearance, it's on www.rickey.org . I mean, they aren't anything spectacular, just video clips is all.

I biked through Federal Way once during the STP (Seattle to Portland bicycle race).

The put their "Welcome to..." and "Leaving..." message on the same sign!
