#1 Looks like the Blixie Chicks finally connected the dots between trashing the Executive Office and ticket sales. I seem to notice a number of celeb's must have gotten the same memo and have finally realized that the appeasement bandwagon may not be "free" publicity after all...

#2 Stupid Move, they alienated the type of people who are their only remaining fans. Hmmm...I think people (under 60) who wear fur and eat veal are mean. But I've broken my Chicks CD and I quit supporting PETA years ago. What does that say? Who cares - both groups are history.

#3 Of course I'm mean, becky, I'm a pubbie. I own 3 coats and a leather one, too.

#4 Leave Becky alone, she makes a valid point. Sorry though Becky, but I have leather seats in my car (with a butt warmer no less)... I do not consider myself "mean" though as the cow was dead before I ever bought the car. I think those bad Germans at VW might be the mean ones!

#5 just to clarify - I'm not against raising animals for food, or eating them; I'm against it being done in a cruel fashion. It's not nice to keep baby animals in a tiny box or to fry minks to death.

We are trying hard to do improve our ability to be humane in war and we can also strive to do it for the animals in our care; they are alive and feel pain and we should treat them accordingly.

I don't think anyone in here is mean - but I can't say the same for the Dixie Chicks or the spoiled brats who think it's more important to be chic and cool than to care about dictators who like to run their citizens through paper shredders feet first.

#6 And a good veal marsala is a calf's finest hour...

#7 On the off chance anybody here missed it: Suggested headline for this story from one of the Blogfather's readers PRO-BLIX DIXIE CHICKS NIX PIX FOR STIX.

#8 I'm with you, Becky. I don't think much of fur or butchering young calves or lambs. But I am not giving up steak and I'll still wear leather.

In any case, I'm really disgusted with the Dixie Chicks. They are just swaying with the breeze instead of sticking up for whatever they really believe in. Maybe they should give up music and enter politics.

#9 Hey, get off their backs. Waitressing is a noble profession. As they'll find out. Again.

#10 Vegitarian: A very old Indian word. Transleted, means "lousy hunter"

#11 All war-mongering animal lovers should check out this blog: http://www.petbunny.blogspot.com/

Lots of big bombs and cute little bunny rabbits. I kid you not.
