Dixie Chicks: Blue-State Patriots
Depending on your political orientation, the Dixie Chicks are either the great defenders of free speech or American traitors. The debate stems from a 2003 comment made by Natalie Maines stating her opposition to the imminent invasion of Iraq and her dissatisfaction with President George w. Bush. Her words, "We're ashamed that the President of the United States is from Texas," started a firestorm of controversy and put the issue of free speech and dissent center stage. Ironically, Bush supported her right to speak out against him, saying, "The Dixie Chicks are free to speak their mind....That's the great thing about America." Toby Keith didn't agree. He showed a Photoshopped image of Maines with Saddam Hussein during his concert tour.

On Worst Talk Shows in History...
pepe said "Honestly, Jimmy Kimmel is the worst to me. What is he exactly? He's not charming, witty, or quick on his feet during his monologue, he's terrible with guests and he always looks half asleep. I will never understand how/why ABC either chose him or why after this long he's still on the air. It's baffling!!!!"

FEEME1 said "Wow...That's foul. "Tempestt" was noticed--and missed--when the show was on and then cancelled. It had a slightly fresher approach than what's being lauded today (Rachel Raye? Please!). I don't think it would've won awards given a longer run, but it certainly didn't reek of 'middle child syndrome', either. "

On Worst Talk Shows in History...fed-up said "Chevy Chase was very funny when he was on SNL. That was a very funny show during the 70s, with the first set of comedians but, like Magic Johnson, Chevy Chase was a flop when he got his own show. And Alf was just too strange--he was just awful--a disaster! I really hated Alf, really did not like that character! Wasn't cute or adorable. Didn't like him at all. Still don't!"

On Weird Facts About Nicolas Cage...Timo said "C'mon folks, the dude just a cool good actor. I don't care what kind of movie it is as long as Nicolas Cage or Denzel (my other obsession) are in it. His spending? I would buy all that shit especially the houses if I could afford it. Octopus and Cobra? NO. I laughed my ribs off from his admission ...."We come from a long lineage of robbers and highwaymen in Italy. Even killers." Go Nic just don't end up broke like Mike Tyson!"

On Weird Facts About Nicolas Cage...majik said "eBay was made for people like this. Some of the things owned by Nicholas will go for huge money as long as it does not appear to be a firesale. I enjoy all of his movies and do hope that Mr. Cage can continue to provide the entertainment on and off screen for a very long time to come."
