Rock and Roll Conservative

Man, that's the dumbest thing I've heard this week

I'm not a follower of soccer -- and it is called soccer by the way -- so when I hear the debate on whether David Beckham is still among the best players I kind of tune it out. One thing I do know: Beckham isn't responsible for British foreign policy.

The reason why I say this is because some no-name Scottish singer declared this week that had Beckham publicly opposed the war in Iraq, Britain would have stayed out of it.

Now I know Bono had Tony Blair's ear for a while but between the U2 frontman and Cheri Blair, I think the former British prime minister had his fill of advice.
