Here are highlights from a story in the local newspaper.
Dixie Chicks pose nude for PETA.Proceeds to benefit PETA.
The Dixie Chicks donated almost $70,000 dollars to PETA last year.
The Dixie Chicks have been alleged to have links with the Animal Liberation Front a terrorist group thought to be responsible for the bombing of several laboratories resulting in human death.

I read something about that. They used leaves and such to cover their unmentionables. However they wouldn't allow the ad to be used for fear of lost sales.

Not much can help them now. Fat Natalie done cost them their fame and fortune. One of our local radio stations ran a poll yesterday as to whether or not to bring them back to the playlist. Eighty percent of those voting said ban them...forever. In fact, I haven't heard any of their songs on any of the local stations since Fat Natalie ran her mouth off. In fact, if the truth were known, they're probably the first celebrities that were held in such contempt by the American public that not even PETA wants anything to do with 'em!

Just let me get one of my songs sold and when asked where my inspiration came from, I can answer, "My love for hunting and the great outdoors allowed me the time and pleasure to collectively create my moments into songs."
ha... btw... I haven't heard them playing back here either!

By golly, I was at the unemployment office today and guess who I saw?!?!?! Fat Natalie!!!! She was standing over in the corner talking to her new best friend, Peter Arnett. Guess I won't be buying any of his CD's either. (I wonder if MSNBC will pay for his ticket home, or is he on his own. I say let 'im walk! ![[Mad]](mad.gif) )

Terry, I almost made it to Tennessee to do some coyote hunting with George Brint but decided on Montana instead. I just might head down there sometime. I think Covington is a popular name for a few states. I met George at an outdoor show in Harrisburg and I found his Predator Supreme Decoy really fascinating. Hmmm... wondering now, how he is doing?

I think this soldier says it all.
Letter from radio station website in Lubbock, home of the Dixie Chick that spewed forth about our president:
Name: LT Layne McDowell
Date: 03/15/03
Time: 01:54:49 PM
Comment
An open letter to the Dixie Chicks:
Earlier this week, while performing in London, you stated that you were ashamed that our President is from your home state. I wonder if you realized how many Americans would be listening. This American was listening. This Texan is ashamed that you come from my state. I serve my country as an officer in the United States Navy. Specifically, I fly F-14 Tomcats off carriers around the world, executing the missions that preserve the very freedom you claim to exercise. I have proudly fought for my country in the skies over Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan without regret. Though I may disagree wholeheartedly with your comments, I will defend to the death your right to say them, in America. But for you to travel to a foreign land and publicly criticize our Commander in
Chief is cowardice behavior. Would you have so willingly made those comments while performing for a patriotic, flag-waving crowd of Texans in Lubbock. I would imagine not. How dare you pocket profits off songs about soldiers, their deaths and patriotism while criticizing their Commander in
Chief abroad, even while they prepare to give their lives to ensure your own freedom of speech. Please ask yourself, what have you done to deserve that sacrifice? Do not try to justify your comments by claiming that you made them only because you care about innocent lives. Never once in our history have we committed troops to war for the purpose of taking innocent lives. We do it to protect innocent lives, even yours. If the world leaders of the late 1930's had the vision and courage of our present Commander in Chief, perhaps the evil men who caused the death of millions in WWII would have never had the opportunity to harm a soul. The potential loss of millions of lives in the future at the hands today's evil men necessitate action. In a separate correspondence, I am returning to you each and every Dixie Chicks CD and cassette that I have
ever purchased. Never again will I allow my funds to support your behavior. All you have done is to add your name to a growing list of American "Celebrities" who have failed to realize that they have obtained their successes on the backs of the American blue-collar workers such as our servicemen and women.
To Natalie Maines: This Texan, this American will continue to risk his life to guarantee your freedoms.
What will you do to deserve it?

Terry, that's so good to hear! George is a helluva great guy! I have one also but haven't had it out to play with in years. He recently sent me a new heart so I think I will have to dust it off and get it out there.
