I think she should have stuck to her guns, but hey it's her paycheck not mine.

I did go out and buy their latest CD yesterday to show my support for Free Speech, something I hold very near and dear.

Why is distance a measure of courage? If she said it in Seattle is that less courageous than if she said it in Chicago? Is it twice as courageous to say it 500 miles from DC as 1000 miles? She was among brits and wanted to let them know Americans aren't all moronic idiots. Unfortunately a great number of us went and proved her wrong immediately thereafter.

I'm ashamed to be from the same PLANET as Dubya.
