Watching "Austin City Limits" on NPR, a country music program. Find myself listening to more country music since I was forced to endure a couple of hours of it during an MRI recently.

The singer, a guy who has written a bunch of country-western songs was singing his own songs, really rather down-to-earth and touching. I could relate.

Got busy, and just heard a couple of lines.

" - - - and some fellow from Texas starts his own war in Iraq,
Some humans aren't human, some people aren't people."

A lot of applause from the audience.

Now, I realize that NPR tends to be liberal. And I realize that if Bush has lost the country-western people at that level it's over for him.

I would guess that in two more years the Dixie Chicks could be elected Vice President, at least.
