I am not a Beyoncé devotee nor have I ever even listened to her music (I only recognized 2 of the songs) but I had a chance to attend her concert last night via a friend who is a Rodeo volunteer. I must say that she is a wonderful performer. Her dance moves are athletic [...]

Political Correctness Run Amuck
