I find it interesting that you defended Madonna's comments made just days
after the terrorists attack but you apparently take offense to the Sox
network not playing the anthem.  Not showing symbolic support for the
country on a daily basis is offensive but making substantive criticisms of
the country at a time of crisis is not?
