A Sad Day

Cassandra at Tigerhawk[*1] mourns with Elton John and other like political science experts the loss of freedom in America:
It's a sad day when Hollywood artists cower in their gated mansions while George Bush's war machine crushes our precious freedoms flatter than Rachel Corrie; when the last feeble whispers of protest are drowned out by a hail of National Guard bullets:
"There was a moment about a year ago when you couldn't say a word about anything in this country for fear of your career being shot down by people saying you are un-American."
I don't know, I don't see very much cowering.

On the other hand, this reminds me to dig out my one Dixie Chicks CD, and run it over with my car a couple of times.  Possibly a Neil Young CD or two, as well, then mail the debris back to those patriotic Americans.  (Oh, Neil is Canadian?  Whatever.)  Just exercising my freedom of speech rights, don'tcha know.
