Is Kim Du Toit an alter ego of Paula Cole? Where have all the Cowboys gone?

"Where have all the Cowboys gone?" We are still out here. But the only time we get press is when it is perceived we've done something ugly.

"The song is not about Dallas Cowboys offensive line.....you know that right? ;o)" I think so. Just making a comment that chivalry is not dead.

You have to make allowances - the piece is five years old. At the time a very prominent, macho individual in a turban claimed that the Americans were soft, that we wouldn't fight, that we only bombed from 20,000 feet. Sort of like our author here did, although it isn't what he had in mind when he wrote this. The guy that claimed that, though..."he don't come 'round here no more."
I dunno - maybe we get too depressed by the crap coming over our TV's. I don't really recognize the country the author is writing about, although I can readily imagine it from what I see on CNN and read in the NY Times. If that country is what they see, maybe the problem is with them and not with us. Because there are a whole lot of folks with turbans who found out different.

Kinky Friedman detailed this very subject (the wussification of Texas) early in his run for Texas Governor.

There was a time when men went to their certain death, with expressions like You all can go to hell. Im going to Texas. (Davy Crockett, to the House of Representatives, before going to the Alamo.) This is a misrepresentation. Davy Crockett was not going to his "certain death" when he went to Texas, and in fact had no idea of such a thing happening. To him, Texas represented a new and unlimited opportunity.
Please note I am far from questioning his bravery or his commitment in the defense of the Alamo. I'm just saying that this quotation does not represent any personal foreboding on his part at the time he left Tennessee for Texas.

Next time, you can tell him, ''Be careful,
mousse bites kan be nasti'', right?
He won't get that, either, I'll wager.

“You all can go to hell. Im going to Texas. (Davy Crockett, to the House of Representatives, before going to the Alamo.)”
That’s a great line, Davy Crockett had good instincts!!
Kim makes some excellent points, but it sounds like he watches too much TV. We love real men here in Texas and you’re welcome any time, Kim!
His wife’s rebuttal was a good read too.
