Speaking of men with guitars, xs you'll be interested in this-- don't you go and steal my homework now or I'll kick yer a$$-- I just now read that ABC booted Toby Keith from an American music show because Faggot Jennings didn't like the lyrics to his "Angry American"... I personally dig "Angry American". I think it's one of his best. That chaps my Republican a$$.
