Dixie Chicks, Mary J. Blige win big at Grammys

BY EVELYN McDONNELL

The Dixie Chicks made a remarkable comeback from controversy, and Mary
J. Blige and the Red Hot Chili Peppers proved that endurance can lead to
triumph, at the 49th annual Grammys on Sunday.

Early in the show, the Dixie Chicks defiantly sang they were ''still
waiting'' to make nice after the uproar that greeted Natalie Maines'
negative comments about President Bush in 2003 on the eve of the war in
Iraq.

''We're ready to make nice,'' a choked-up Maines said a little over
three hours later, as the all-female trio picked up their final and fifth
award, for album of the year for Taking the Long Way Home. The singer
thanked Grammy voters for making a statement about freedom of speech by
honoring the group. ``I think people were using their voice in the same way
this loudmouth did.''

It was a vindication for the Chicks, who have been largely shut out of
country radio since '03 and were completely passed over in recent Country
Music Association and the Academy of Country Music Awards: Two of the three
Grammys the Chicks won came in country categories. They also took home
trophies for song and record of the year........

If it's not the music (and I don't know)
it's the growing opposition among
the American people to bush,jr's
unnecessary unwinnable war.

Bombs kill at least 80 people in Iraq

BUSHRA JUHI

Associated Press

BAGHDAD, Iraq
Thunderous explosions and dense black smoke swirled through central
Baghdad on Monday when two car bombs tore through a crowded marketplace,
setting off secondary blasts and killing at least 71 people, police said.
Another bombing nearby killed at least nine.

The violence came on the first anniversary, according to the Muslim
lunar calendar, of the bombing of the important Shiite Golden Dome shrine in
Samarra, north of the capital. That attack by al-Qaida in Iraq militants set
off the torrent of sectarian bloodletting that has turned Baghdad and much
of central Iraq into a battleground.

A column of smoke hundreds of feet wide billowed 1,000 feet above the
market near the east bank of the Tigris River and the Central Bank.

Ambulances and pickup trucks rushed many of the nearly 165 wounded to
nearby al-Kindi hospital in the largely Shiite region that has been hit by a
series of deadly bombings since Jan. 1.

The worst carnage occurred about 12:25 p.m. when two parked car bombs
exploded shortly after the government called for a 15-minute period of
commemoration for the Feb. 22 Samarra bombing.

The bombs struck within a minute of each other, targeting two
buildings about 200 yards apart. One of the cars was parked near the
entrance to a parking garage under one of the buildings.

Shops and stalls were obliterated and billowing smoke blackened the
entire area on a sunny day in Baghdad.

Debris and clothing mannequins were scattered in pools of blood on the
floor of the warehouse-type building while men tossed plastic chairs onto
piles. Two men carried a limp body, while small fires burned in rubble
outside the building.

Mohammed Najaim, whose shop was set ablaze, said one of the cars was
parked in a garage under a two-story market called Al-Arabi, next to the
Iraqi central bank. Najaim said flames were coming out of the garage, which
holds hundreds of cars.

About a half-hour earlier, a bomb hidden in a bag exploded in a
crowded area near a popular falafel takeout restaurant in the Bab al-Sharqi
area, not far from Shorja, police said, adding that 19 people also were
wounded in that blast.

The attacks, which occurred in busy market districts on the east side
of the Tigris River, came despite stepped up security in the capital as U.S.
and Iraqi forces have launched a new operation aimed at stopping the
sectarian violence that has been on the rise since the Samarra bombing.

The anniversary fell on Monday according to the Islamic lunar
calendar. The lunar month is never longer than 30 days or shorter than 29.
The beginning of each lunar month is set by religious authorities.

One 38-year-old Shiite man said the blasts were clearly timed to
coincide with the commemoration of the Samarra bombing. Other people in the
area screamed, "Where is the government?" "Where is the security plan?" and
"We have had enough!"

Some storekeepers were trying to salvage merchandise. Police and
soldiers were deployed in force, and armed men in civilian clothes were
searching and questioning people coming to the scene.

Elsewhere in Baghdad, some roads and bridges were cordoned off after
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki called for the 15-minute commemoration of the
bombing in Samarra, 60 miles north of Baghdad....."

Is that why the GOP lost control of Congress?

Just for laughs, why don't you give us some examples of "the real best
music", loser.

You guys predicted their doom.

You denigrated them in every way possible.

This morning you have nothing
because the Dixie Chicks stand
with a great majority of Americans
and your position become
lonelier and lonelier every day.

Jimmy Carter Wins a Grammy Award


Jimmy Carter became the second former U.S. president to win a Grammy Award
when he was honored in the spoken-word category on Sunday for the audio-book
version of his bestseller "Our Endangered Values: America's Moral Crisis."

Carter, 82, shared the award in a rare tie with actress Ruby Dee and her
late husband Ossie Davis for "With Ossie and Ruby: In This Life Together."

Davis, a prominent actor and civil rights activist died of natural causes in
2005, aged 87.

Carter was not present at the music industry's biggest event, which was held
at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Former President Bill Clinton won spoken-word Grammys in 2004 and 2005, as
did his wife, U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, in 1997 while she was still
first lady.

Mrs. Clinton's rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, U.S. Sen.
Barack Obama, won a Grammy last year for the audio-book version of his book
"Dreams From My Father."

Dee was present to accept her award.


"I feel like a rock star, or something," she said, subsequently referring to
her husband. "I truly believe he is present today."

The other nominees were comedians Bob Newhart, Bill Maher and Al Franken.

LMAO! You're just furious that the Chicks took everything you clowns
offered and threw it right back in your face and there is nothing you
can do about it. Maybe you should go back to bitching about the
Speaker's plane, Pelosi, though even the propagandists over at the Fox
Nothing Channel are calling the entire thing "stupid."
