Knaves: The Dixie Chicks, who still don't understand why they're allowed "to sleep peaceably in their beds at night." Lead singer Natalie Maines actually outdid her 2003 embarrassment when she told a London audience that she was ashamed the president was from her home state of Texas. In an interview with the London Telegraph, the head Chick waxed philosophical: "The entire country may disagree with me," she said, "but I don't understand the necessity for patriotism. Why do you have to be a patriot? About what? This land is our land? Why? You can like where you live and like your life, but as for loving the whole country ... I don't see why people care about patriotism." Some people look at America and the opportunities it's given them and say, "I want to re-enlist before I leave." Others, like Miss Maines, look at America, which has given her more fame and fortune than most Americans will ever see and ask, "So what?" Because Sgt. Caldwell is still willing to take a bullet even for them, the Dixie Chicks are the Knaves of the week.

Five of the defendants, including alleged ringleader Narseal Batiste, appeared in federal court in Miami on Friday under heavy security. They were brought in and out in single file, chained together at the wrists and wearing ankle chains. "This group was more aspirational than operational," FBI Deputy Director John Pistole said. But Attorney General Alberto Gonzales described the men as "homegrown terrorists" who "view their home country as the enemy." Sound like democrats to me.
