... back weaponry compared to people killing themselves. You can argue about the niceties of that. The Dixie Chicks say something about the war—and they shouldn't have said it overseas, but they said it. The shutting up of opposition is critical to running a country in an undemocratic way, let's put it that way. And so you have buzzwords like ‘appeasers’ or ‘cut and run’ and they're used...

"She Needs Wide Open Spaces." My entry for this week's IF - Wide. I know the feeling of that need. I was so sick of slacking on Illustration Friday, that I had to just put up an older drawing. Old is better than nothing at all. When I thought of "Wide," my immediate thoughts were of the Dixie Chicks. This made me remember this drawing from 1992. Back then I had dreams of my own patchwork...

... on a cruise near Cabo San Lucas while partying with Guns 'N Roses and doing flaming shots with the Dixie Chicks, well, that would make it more interesting. The story didn't reveal where Giambi sourced the undergarment. Perhaps Brian McNamee procured it for him. After all, you doubt that Major League Ballplayers would purchase XXL skimp undergarments themselves in Manhattan, where...

... far and getting hurt in the process."Another Day", with excellent vocals by Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks tells the tale of love that has been lost, day by day, by both parties involved - "The two of us we both just let it fly". I agree with - this would be great single.There's lots of words in these songs - no simple "verse, verse, chorus, verse" for most of them - and at times...

George Bush attacks the character of an American leader. Overseas. Interesting. This is hysterical. Kevin James doesn't know what he's talking about. As a teacher, he'd get a big "F" in history.

... with their national enemies, not to mention criticizing a fellow American overseas after the Dixie Chicks fiasco, is nothing short of hypocritical. All of this is disturbing, but what is truly stunning is that here is George W. Bush, the man whose policy of pre-emptive war, whose infantile black-and-white, with us or against us mentality, whose antipathy towards well-established and...

As you've no doubt heard, Bush this morning was in Israel, giving a speech to the Knesset to mark Israel's 60th anniversary, and in it, he included a passage which most people are quite rightly reading as a direct swipe at Obama and Bush’s most explicit entry yet into the rhetorical battle in this season's [...]

Maines even went as far as to write a song about it entitled Shut Up and Sing. When Natalie was asked what she thought Jessica should do about the harsh comment she said “pick back.” What do you...

... that non-Asians can't tell Asians apart, I resist. True story: Two years ago, I accompanied the Dixie Chicks to the Time 100 event in New York City. (You can read about it here .) As I trailed the Chicks onto the first red carpet for domestic print press, I heard a few reporters and photographers quietly ask the person next to them whether I was Rain, who was also being honored...
