Dixie Cups

This is the best we could muster?

ORLANDO, Fla. -- A lone protester stood outside a sold-out Dixie Chicks concert Saturday night during the band's first appearance in Florida since a member criticized President Bush over the war with Iraq.

And typically, he wasn't even from Florida:

But Texas-native Thomas Newton stood at an intersection near the TD Waterhouse Centre wearing a cowboy outfit and holding a sign that read: "I Am Ashamed The Dixie Chicks Are From Texas."

This town is too god-damn transient. In a way, that's a good thing, because it keeps the Hippie-American population down. Oh well.

He's the only one who still cares what the Chicks say. I sure don't.

Yeah, the Chix passed my "whatever" threshold weeks ago.
