Re: Jimmy gets political (blog link)
I think one tiny thing that Chrisrehm overlooked is that The Dixie Chicks (whom I love) DEPEND on radio play and media coverage to sell albums/downloads. Jimmy never has and probably never will. I think the Chicks totally got screwed by the hooplah over their comments a few years ago. Americans pri...

Re: Looked Strange To Me
Like I said, it's important to be respectful but I don't think these were published for things like sporting events and concerts. These seem directed at formal ceremonies and thing like that.

Re: Looked Strange To Me

Re: Should he resign???
Yes, I think he should resign, but not because of the affair. When the governor of a state disappears for several days, with, it seems nobody knowing where he is, and with his staff seemingly misled about where he is, that is totally irresponsible to his state, his constituency, and to anyone who c...

Re: Little BigHorn Montana
One of the interesting/sobering aspects of Little Bighorn is that it is the only national cemetary where the soldiers were buried where they fell. At other battlefields the fallen were brought to a planned cemetary and buried. But at Little Bighorn, for whatever reason, the burial detail dug the gra...
