"One of the freepers suggested the Vichy Chicks"

I like that one and also like the "Blixie Chix" what we need is an add campaign...

Paging Registered, Paging Registered, Please pick up the white Courtesy Phone, you services are need for a new add campaign

I've heard 'Earl' but never saw a photo of the dixie chickens. The one in the middle looks like a plaintiff in the suit against mcdonald's.

WOAI in San Antonio banned the Chicks as well as a station WKBQ in Idaho.

Perhaps its time for entertainers that love our country and freedom to rise above their counterparts and become the favored stars among us.

Vichy Chicks is perfect!
