So there I am, sitting on the gilded Editor In Chief Pro Tempore throne, minding my own business and thumbing through the latest edition of Entertainment Weekly (shutup, bastards) when I notice that the Dixie Chick's latest..uh..album is in week 2 at the top of the charts.

The natural question is in the title of the post.

But then I notice the numbers. And the undisguised attempt to put lipstick on a pig:

Life may be twice as "Nice" for the Chicks, still on top in week 2 with 271,000, a less than 50% drop

I think they scored around 500 large with the first week, and 271 large this week, with a grand total of about 871,000 plus-minus sold.

In a nation of 280,000,000 people.

What an accomplishment. I felt better after thinking about that.

I like irony. The anti-American Dixies Chick's defiant, triumphant return to the CD shelves dropped almost 50% in the same week that Kos had his Konvention.

In his shining city on the hill, Reagan smiles.
