Man, that was hard putting them in alphabetical order. This is by no means a “Best Of” list. Some of these might not even be Alternative Country. I’ve got more CD’s I could have grabbed but these made the cut. I’ve got a lot of listening to do. Excuse me while I slip on my headphones.

“If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.”
James Madison (1751-1836), 4th U.S. President and author of the U.S. Constitution

It does make you think and wonder.

You’ve got to see these pictures.  They are hilarious!

According to Edwards, his plan is composed of three steps. Everyday bad things, such as curse words and splinters, would be eradicated during his first six months in office. Next, very bad things, including child abduction, soil erosion, and resurgent diseases such as malaria and tuberculosis, would be ended by the the end of 2009. Finally, extremely bad things—plights such as genocide, species extinction, and virtually every form of cancer—would take a full two years to wipe out.

“Racism will soon be a thing of the past,” Edwards said. “Same goes for being picked last for playground athletics, AIDS, robbery, not having enough spending money, and murder. Because these things are bad and not good, I promise they will be eliminated.”

His plan is as generic as his personality.  Funny article.
