Politics is far to important to leave to the politicians. I do think however that an entertainer should deliver their messages in short doses. Of course I wish that the politicians would too.

Listen - If you don't like the message you can always let your mind wander and write a shopping list, or compose a letter to a friend. But I have to salute the Dixie Chicks for speaking out. It's going to lose them a lot of ticket and CD sales. No doubt that the rest of Nashville that objects to their views will have something to say about it. And that will be considered patriotic.
