For those of you with IQs above room temperature (which is, probably, most of you, if you are reading this), did you enjoy the dixie bitches, um, uh, we mean chicks (as in female - you know, that sexist stuff) on ABC tv this evening?  If you missed it, you can read Drudge's relevant posting.  In a nutshell, these bimbos, particularly natalie maines (she also doesn't deserve the captialization of her name), are vying, with cher, for the top "stooopud idiot" award.  These three country music "stars" have abused their public positions, as have other professional grovelers, previously discussed here, by spewing forth in public their privates -- oops, we mean private -- positions on George W. Bush and his valiant victory in freeing the Iraqi people of the evil of Saddam Hussein.  Needless to say, natalie's remarks were less than complimentary.

Their "apology" on tv tonight was anything but!

POINT  --  The Way has no problem whatsoever with a private citizen stating his or her opinions, especially given that this right of an individual is afforded by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, but they should keep in mind that the Constitution only gives them the right to speak freely, NOT the right to be heard.  The chicks have abused that right by using their celebrity status to make sure that the public heard their message, whether that public wanted to or not.  Accordingly, once the chicks publicly cross the line from entertainment to politics (or, for that matter, any other subject), they must suffer the consequences, which, in our free enterprise system, includes the right of that public to NOT GIVE THE CHICKS THEIR MONEY if they disagree with what has been said.  There is absolutely nothing unpatriotic about refusing to buy the dixie chicks' CDs or concert tickets.  If the public doesn't like the chicks, they have the chicks to blame.  If the chicks don't like it, they only have themselves (or natalie) to blame.

Sadly, in the ABC "apology"/interview, natalie and the chicks managed some contrived tears (as if that is gonna make me feel sorry for her/them!) and said that there was not enough compassion being demonstrated -- FOR THEM!

OH PLEEEEEZ!  Compassion for them?  OK, we'll have compassion for them.  All of us here at POINT  --  The Way -- and we urge you to help, as well -- henceforth will never buy anything from or by the dixie chicks, thereby compassionately contributing to the demise of their careers -- you know, so they can get back to having a real life and real work at a real job, just as the rest of us do.  This will, of course, save them from future hurt feeeeelings because they will no longer be in the public eye and subject to the whims and fancies of that public after the chicks abuse them.  We wish the chicks well.  Maybe, someday, they'll give us an interview and tell us what it is like having to wash toilets for a living.  Actually, we can see the fake tears now....   Whaaa, whaaa, whaaa....

  P.S.: As for the chicks' privates, natalie said in her "apology" that the one thing about which she is more concerned than anything else in life is family and family values.  This is probably why she and the other chicks have just appeared virtually nude, on full public display for every family and child to see, in Entertainment Weekly.  Natalie (oops, we capitalized her name) cares so much about family and little kids that she publicly appears naked?  Um, uhh, yeah, right, sure, natalie!  She obviously cares about stealing more of your hard-earned money, not family and family values!  And she probably thinks that partial birth abortion (you know, that procedure in which the baby deliverers stab the child's skull with a vacuum cleaner and suck out the brains and then proclaim that,"Oops, the kid was born dead.  Too bad.") is just another way of caring about the children.  (Didn't clinton tell us how much he cared about the children -- as he was staining the blue dress?)

During the "apology," the chicks' Marty Maguire said, "I just remember listening to country music as a young girl and knowing that I wanted to play the fiddle and that's all I ever wanted to do."  The chicks should shutup and stick to fiddling with their privates -- and leave the thinking to those who do have IQs above room temperature.  Afterall, unlike the dixie cicks, they are doing a fine job!

The one problem with Radio Userland software is that if the computer hard drive goes down, so does the blog, or, in this case, the POINT  --  The Way blog.  While our system maintenance is not quite finished, due to having to restore data after the crash, at least it was a bit easier THIS time, albeit time consuming, to get system and data back together than it was after it crashed last January after loading Roxio's latest GoBack update (WARNING: DON'T DO IT, AND DON'T BUY OR USE ROXIO PRODUCTS!), which is a future story ("Thank you, Roxio!"), and a quite lengthy one, too, thanks to the complete ineptitude of the Roxio morons who call themselves tech support (more like jock supporters!).  In any event, POINT  --  The Way extends our apologies for our absence over the past few days, and we'll try to catch up with a number of relevant postings as soon as possible, allthewhile hoping that the HD doesn't puke again.  In the meantime, we wish we had a betamax!
