Bush

I'm tired of the new comedian routine where people come out real early in their set and tell the audience that "Bush is such an idiot" or "God, I hate Bush".

It's not that I disagree, it's just that it's tired, used, and everyone already knows it. Hell, there's Republicans in the audience, arms crossed, that hear that and say, "yeah, you're right. So what?"

Hell, it's not even edgy. The big misconception is that you're "on the edge" if you come out against Bush. Hell, if anything, you're just conforming. People believe that there was such a backlash against the Dixie Chicks because of what Maines said. Hell, it wasn't that. People were just pissed off because they were thinking, "what the fuck is country music doing in England?" Goddamnit, if the British star listening to country music, where are we going to get all of our good music from?

They're good sports, though, the British. They gave us the Beatles, Abbey Road and the White Album; Pink Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon and the Wall; Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones. They got the Dixie Chicks and Madonna. The fact that the British haven't sent nuclear bombs our way is a surprise to me right now.
