Least believable quote of the year
"I am humbled." -- Natalie Maines.
No, I wouldn't say you are humbled. I'd say you are smug.
And, by the way, I wouldn't say you are vindicated either, as the liberal press does.
No, I'd say, the only thing humble about Natalie Maines is her album sales, leaving still unanswered the question of whether it is possible to be both overtly anti-American and a country music superstar.
Now there is no doubt that the liberals will TREAT her as a superstar and that is obviously very satisfying. There is no doubt that lots of liberals will run out and buy token copies of her CDs. And that is satisfying, though not especially enriching.
It is still to be seen as to whether she can be the liberals' monkey and still last in country music, even after she is not the treat of the week. Hmmmm. I bet not. But we'll see.

The media genre that brought us
"Dropkick me Jesus, through the goalposts of life" appears to have its own PC constructs. I haven't read 'Rednecks and Bluenecks: The Politics of Country Music', other than the short review "The big question though is how country music, which was once the province of the little guy, became the house music for the GOP?" over at
http://www.hickswithsticks.com/
Nor do I intend to, the subject is
just too ludicrous: at the simplest level, famous people can say what they want, and the unfamous can boycott. *Yawn*
The little guy is the GOP. It's the only refuge for the little guy.
Indeed, no organization at any level and at any time is so relentlessly elitist as the liberal power structure of the United States of America.
Liberal elites hate everything about the little guy: His interests, style, language, behavior, and, most sincerely, his music.
Every policy proposed by the Liberal Elites is aimed at reining in the "little guy", narrowing his choices and income.
The simplest example is the continuing attempt to take the car away from the little guy. Private transportation is something liberal elites want preserved for themselves and all their petty causes. All others should take the bus.
No wonder the GOP and the little guy and country music are friends.
But, by the way, BB, I don't want to encourage you to come to this blog. I simply don't like liberals like you. You've caused enough trouble for me and my family. You have nothing original to contribute and I just don't care to hear what you have to say. So if you don't mind, please do not visit. Thanks in advance.
It took me awhile to figure out who Valerie Mange was.
I listen to CW everyday at work - in the background and yet I rarely know who sings the stuff...unless I hear the credits.
(Ps. I was humming along with you.)
