I've never heard of this guy before, but I'll be checking out his site(s) in the coming days: The Daily Gut

Here's one small snippet from the interview that basically 'says it all':

How would you rate Bush’s performance on 1) the war in Iraq, 2) immigration, 3) social issues (gay marriage, abortion, etc.)?

1) The war: At a time when many of the West’s leaders are racing to capitulate thousands of years of industrial and intellectual development to the worst medieval lunatics on earth, Bush has had the guts to finally DO something. But I guess supporters are just tired of having to do all the talking for him. That’s what is so infuriating. Even with a world press that essentially hates free enterprise, we should be able to get far better ink than we do. Hamas gets better press than the 82nd Airborne. That’s as much the State Department’s fault as it is Paul Krugman’s or LeMonde.

Dixie 'Forrest Gump' Chicks Lament

In an interview with the UK's Telegraph, the Dixie Chicks ponder why their fans 'turned on them':

How the Chicks survived their scrap with Bush

The Chicks can't hide their disgust at the lack of support they received from other country performers. "A lot of artists cashed in on being against what we said or what we stood for because that was promoting their career, which was a horrible thing to do," says Robison.

"A lot of pandering started going on, and you'd see soldiers and the American flag in every video. It became a sickening display of ultra-patriotism."

But what is really amazing (since stupid is a bit harsh) is this:

"The entire country may disagree with me, but I don't understand the necessity for patriotism," Maines resumes, through gritted teeth. "Why do you have to be a patriot? About what? This land is our land? Why? You can like where you live and like your life, but as for loving the whole country… I don't see why people care about patriotism."

I guess it'll take a clue in Aisle Four to get them to maybe grasp why it is that their fans turned on them......duh.

This qualifies as a 'Launching a Butt Monkey'.....

And I'm still standing by my prediction that the sisters - Emily Robison and Martie Maguire - will wake up one morning, smell the coffee, and throw Natalie out of the band saying that 'she never spoke for us'.....wait for it.

Clinton Links GOP Policies to More Storms
As Tropical Storm Alberto threatened to strengthen into the ninth hurricane in 22 months to affect Florida, former President Clinton predicted Monday that Republican environmental policies will lead to more severe storms.

"It is now generally recognized that while Al Gore and I were ridiculed, we were right about global warming," Clinton said at a fundraiser for the Florida Democratic Party. "It's a serious problem. It's going to lead to more hurricanes."

Gore's documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth," chronicles the former vice president's efforts to educate the public about global warming. It's in limited release around the country.

In his critique of the GOP, Clinton also touched on the war in Iraq, the rising federal deficit and high health care costs. The crowd of about 500 greeted him with loud applause and shouts of "We love you, Bill!" and "Four more years!"

Jeff Sadosky, spokesman for the state Republican Party, decried Clinton's rhetoric. "Bill Clinton's class warfare and race-baiting message gets us no closer to solutions for the issues he brings up," he said.

That's it Bill......the GOP is responsible for hundreds of years of increased warming on a global scale. Hmm....you might want to see if there's a guarentee on that Oxford education you got cause it would seem that you're quoting a phone book.

But the interesting part of this article is this:

Sadosky referred in part to Clinton's comments earlier this month in Arizona. At that event, Clinton characterized Republican Party leaders as right-wing, white Southerners.

Wouldn't that be considered 'hate speech' by Clinton's standards?
