Susan Boyle makes us rethink the "spinster cat lady"
I was in the shower this morning singing the song that's been stuck in my head for days: "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Miserables. That's what you get, I thought, when you watch the Susan Boyle video from Britain's Got Talent 15 times in three days.
As I'm singing (badly), I hear my cat Phoebe on the other side of the shower curtain begin to meow along to the song.
This must be our way of cheering for the 47-year-old Internet sensation (pictured). Associated Press may describe her this way: "Susan Boyle lives alone in a row house with her cat Pebbles, a drab existence in one of Scotland's poorest regions."
But we single women with cats know what a bum rap that is. Now thanks to Susan Boyle, millions of people around the world do too.

I'm sick of hearing about this lady! I'm happy for her but enough already!! My Momma couldn't take my call this evening because Susan was on Larry King. I wish her well but can the press move on to the next thing.

Perhaps Susan should sing I Dreamed a Dream in cat language and really knock people over. To Simon and Piers: are the dollar signs getting bigger now? Imagine what you can do with this woman? The possibilities are endless.
