RATS AND LEMMINGS AND MOTHS in Iraq. And, also in BlogCritics, Toby Keith on Natalie Maines. He’s not a fan.

UPDATE: A commenter on the Natalie Maines post writes:

The first and last Dixie Chicks song (and video) I heard was “Goodbye Earl.” I know it was supposed to be cute and funny but I found it thoroughly offensive and nasty–and I’m an alt.rock fan, not at all sensitive about these things.

Killing Earl was pretty damn unilateral, come to think of it.

Indeed. By the way, if you haven’t heard it yet, check out My Name is Earl by the Dixie Dicks.
