i do agree that the chix shoulda stuck to their guns. i feel the same way about Bill Maher and the quote that got him in hot water - but he popped off a mere week or two after the big event, so perhaps was too soon. but if you believe it, then why say it if you won't stand by it?

read the Playboy interview with Toby Keith; he's not who you might think he is. and remember that 9/11 provoked a lot of visceral reactions and comments from people - especially the male of the species. thump thump!

also, Steve Earle definitely preached to the choir the other night. but i still like where he's coming from, and his basic premise is sound, that the Iraq war was ill-advised and duplicitously sold.

proper way to dispose of a tattered flag: burning. but there'll soon be laws against that!

and

"wax the cat" - metaphor for a Brazilian trim??? if so, Brazilliant!
