THE TIDE IS TURNING

Watch Russ Feingold on The Daily Show last night and remember what it looks like when a Senator stands up to this Administration. It's been awhile, but dammit, it feels good. Watch the Republican Spin Machine in action to discredit him and try and make it about "fighting terrorists" and not "breaking the law." They cannot keep hitting us over the head with "Liberals hate the troops" bullshit and expect us to not fight back.

Speaking of fighting back, the Dixie Chicks have a wonderful new song out. They ain't backing down either. Good for them. Remember how crazy people went when they said this, "Just so you know, we're ashamed the President of the United States is from Texas."

That's it. They didn't eat a baby or pee on the Bible. They just said they were ashamed Bush is from Texas. And people went apeshit! My, how times are changing...for the better.

NOT READY TO MAKE NICE

Forgive, sounds good
Forget, I’m not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But I’m still waiting

I’m through with doubt
There’s nothing left for me to figure out
I’ve paid a price
And I’ll keep paying

I’m not ready to make nice
I’m not ready to back down
I’m still mad as hell and
I don’t have time to go round and round and round
It’s too late to make it right
I probably wouldn’t if I could
‘Cause I’m mad as hell
Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should

I know you said
Can’t you just get over it
It turned my whole world around
And I kind of like it

I made my bed and I sleep like a baby
With no regrets and I don’t mind sayin’
It’s a sad sad story when a mother will teach her
Daughter that she ought to hate a perfect stranger
And how in the world can the words that I said
Send somebody so over the edge
That they’d write me a letter
Sayin’ that I better shut up and sing
Or my life will be over

I’m not ready to make nice
I’m not ready to back down
I’m still mad as hell and
I don’t have time to go round and round and round
It’s too late to make it right
I probably wouldn’t if I could
‘Cause I’m mad as hell
Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should

I’m not ready to make nice
I’m not ready to back down
I’m still mad as hell and
I don’t have time to go round and round and round
It’s too late to make it right
I probably wouldn’t if I could
‘Cause I’m mad as hell
Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should

Forgive, sounds good
Forget, I’m not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But I’m still waiting
