My Husband: The Walking Male Stereotype.

September 30, 2009

Ladies, I married Tim “The Tool Man” Taylor.

Dixie Chicks & Double Standards

September 24, 2009

A few years back, a certain lead singer [Natalie Maines] from one of my all time favorite bands [The Dixie Chicks] made a comment at a concert in London, saying something to the effect of “we are ashamed to be from the same state as the President.”
