I do like some of their songs, though

I watched Shut Up and Sing last night. I don't know how I'm supposed to care about the Dixie Chicks' careers when Iraqis are getting blown to bits.

P.S. We have to stop killing these things. When the giant squids take their revenge, it is not going to be pretty.

So true. They still seem to have made a good come back with thier last record. What's the big deal? I'd rather have someone make a documentry about those unfortunate Palestinians who got detained in Texas.

Though I don't think it would sell as many DVDs. :(

Did they really detain people for the Space Shuttle Columbia crash?

When you say "Palestinians" do you mean people from the Palestine the struggling nation-state occupied by Israel? or Palestine the small town in Texas?

She means Palestinians from Palestine, living in Texas, including children and a 60-year-old refugee. They were arrested for being "illegal" and they're being held in Hutto. I've posted about it a few times (usually tagged under "orwellian dystopias" and "it's okay if we're the ones doing it") and sadie_sabot has posted about it a lot (tagged under "hutto").

Looked it up, disgusting proto-fascism for sure.

That said, I wouldn't be surprised if the police did detain Palestinians (from Palestine, the occupied territories) in Texas after the space shuttle went down in flames in 2003. Paranoia is a powerful non-sensical thing.
