    Oh Say Are You Kidding Me?

    Great! Something new for the right wing to soil themselves over. I was getting tired of the whole "flag burning" debate, and this one is an even more preposterous waste of time and now, thanks to Frist and his buddies, my money. Hey, fellas? We're not talking about changing the National Anthem so that from this point, you'll have to learn it in Spanish if you want to sing along at the ballgame. And the last time I checked, one of the "freedoms" that we've got here was to record whatever the hell we wanted, in whatever language pleased us most.

    —Vern Dowdall
