Bruce Springsteen: Blue-State Patriot
For years Springsteen kept his patriotism private, aside from his songs about working-class heroes. Then came 1984's "Born in the U.S.A.," with its widely misunderstood title track. Springsteen took his first steps out of the political closet when he asked Ronald Reagan to stop using "Born in the U.S.A." during his Presidential campaign. Bruce's 9/11 album, "The Rising," upped the patriotic ante. Then, in 2004, the Boss took the blue-state gloves off and stumped for John Kerry's failed Presidential run. He finally picked a winner last year when he publicly backed Barack Obama. His reward? The opening slot at Obama's Lincoln Memorial inaugural concert. Pretty patriotic gig.

On Bitter Celebrity Custody Battles...ddfstop said "Children always suffer when their adults start acting like "children!" Tax Evation?? That woman is a fine role model for her daughter ... not! She should never be allowed to have any custody of their daughter because the daughter will only get bounced back to Jesse and Sandra the next time she decides to mess with the IRS. Even a genius will testify that that is not very smart ... forget being a genious. It ain't nice ta mess wit da IRS!!'Nuff said!"
