What the heck? I never would have guessed Keith was a Dem, the way he tore into the Dixie Chicks for the we're ashamed to be from the same state as Bush comment, and his jingoistic and faintly vigilante-approving lyrics. Wonder if Obama will make this endorsement a big deal! :) Articles

I'm so glad I wasn't drinking when I read this... The question posed - Do networks give marriage a bad rap? My answer - Britney Spears and Jason Alexander. The rampant divorce rate. My point? Marriage has been a joke in and of itself almost as long as the Boob Tube has existed. If anything,

Keith, I think he's always been a Democrat, although of the far-more-conservative Southern stripe, and I think that he feels as betrayed by the Bush 43 Admin's lies as anyone with a modicum of sense does. As for the rest of his remarks on Obama, I'm in the WTF? Room with you. And I've only

I don't think it's hidden racism either. At least in this case. No It looks like they are setting up the situation which will allow them to make him a major if not primary characater in this season. And there have been many shows in which it's main character was not the one that headed

Folks If you take a real good look at Toby's comments nothing really has changed. He's just trying to dump enough 'snow' on them to make people think he has. In short this is nothing more than Toby (like many artists before him) modifying/changing his image to try to stay relevent (i.e.

No kidding, that was a good summary. I can totally get Moore being pissed at LXG--that movie was pretty awful. And I understand they completely minimized the vampire (?) lady, elevating Quartermain too much, and then did the awful, stupid American device of inserting an American character (Tom
