Stone-cold drunk...as usual.

Whats scaring me about all this is that people are so fixated on getting out NOW!!!!!! that possible consequences are being completely ignored? Ethnic cleansing? Al Qaeda getting a foothold? Iran taking over the region? Eh...worry about that later...just get out of Iraq NOW!!!!!! Sorry for the hijack...on THIS issue...its just typical politics. And it makes me laugh (or cry) is that people "voted for change" in November thinking things...ya know...would be *different* in Washington now. But its just more of the same political BS. And whats MORE pathetic is that most people out there see things like this resolution not for the purely political BS they are...but as actual signs of the "change" they so desired! they think this *MEANS SOMETHING!* Pathetic.

Not with bands like Rush and Van Halen coming out...who are BOTH touring THIS Summer.

With the crop of dunderheads out there now, "I" want my 1997 politicians back!

OKay, Im just going to say it...Ive gone from loathing you to being one of your biggest fans. Wow...thats ghey.

Be careful here. The reason why not more DLs and OLs are taken may be because the "stud" ones worthy of a 1st round pick are at a premium. Thats MY theory. If the Bills take a CB in the 1st round, my head may explode.

Okay, thats WAY too deep for my own good. Youre scaring me now. On the topic at hand, the Post is mostly a fish wrap, yes. But as others have stated, they "know" it. Its the "honesty" thing that makes the paper appealing.

Was that THE weirdest time in music hisotry or what????? Everyone from the Stones, to the Dead, to Kiss, to....EVERYONE carried that "disco" beat on their new albums. Conspiracy, I tell ya.

Wow. An interview with two guys who are unabashedly true to their beliefs, but arent afraid to "tell it like it is." I cant wait to see it.

Olivier......STOP NOW.

Being DOMINANT in a market and COMPLETELY CONTROLLING it are two very different things.

Fair enough....I can see the distinction. I still think those silly radio station "record smashing" stunts being compared to the book burnings of Nazi Germany is WAY out there. And I agree with you on the Nazi-comparison thing. Its right up there with the race card when debating an issue.

Youre kidding. There have been plenty of times through history where groups of people got together and had demonstrations like that. What the Nazis did was far and above a petty demonstration made-for-tv where a couple of copies of the DCs records were smashed to show how people dont like the DC's music and their politics. To compare some radio station down South doing a publicity stunt to give a proverbial 'middle finger' to the DC, to what the Jews endured in Nazi Germany is beyond stupid. But with you...nothing shocks anymore.

So it seems Maines thinks that by getting a gaggle of Grammys, the American Public was "practicing its rights to Free Speech". But when they did the same a few years ago AGAINST her, the American Public was "practicing censorship." So.....when the "speech" is favorable...its "free speech!!" Bad? its "censorship" or as that wonderful scribe Garafalo described it..."Nazi stuff." Which is exactly my point back on page one of this thread.

douchebagsayswhat?

For a dude who "smokes and jokes", you sure are uptight.

It was during the time of the war. And I beleive that was the quote, yes. I..me...myself thought what she did was bad. YOUR mileage may vary.

True...and no different than when Wal-Mart wont carry it becuase it doesnt agree with their values. Id rather see a Country where companies can decide what to sell and what not to sell, based on their own values. When the day comes that companies are FORCED into what to sell, then we have a problem.

And who post total is only 300 behind mine! Love the movie, though. At least the sod has some taste, right?

I dont think their actual music has anything to do with it, really. Sure...the fact that they were considered Country musicians probably affected the issue, but others have endured similar criticism for going overseas and bashing the U.S. It was always about what Maines said on that stage in the UK, which I thought was pretty terrible. And FWIW, I dont think criticism for bashing the home Country in a time of war is unwarranted.

Says the guy whose last contribution to a thread on PPP was posting quotes from the movie "Major League."

Did you get the memo? When someone from the left has something to say, they are just "dissenting" and "excersing their patriotic 1st Amendment Rights." They are practicing the rights held near and dear to all of us! But, of course, any "dissent" to their "dissent" is nothing more than blatant "censorship", carried out by fascists.

I !@#$ing KNEW there was some kind of scam behind my SkyMiles program. I !@#$ing calling Delta first thing tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Boeing, too!!! Greedy corksuckers.

And people wonder where so many like myself get the "silly" notion that if/when they do get total conrol of power, the Democrats will collectively bend us all right over and HAND the K/Y to the rest of the World.

Gotta love PPP....when not putting down "the media", great outlets like "Buffalo Beast" are being defended.
