As if country music needed any more help embarrassing itself, now there’s country singer Aaron Tippin’s latest single, “Drill here, drill now”. Yes, we can always count on country songwriters to take serious, important national issues such as the current economic energy crisis, and turn them into trivialized, silly, low brow radio jingles for the culturally challenged. Tippin’s musical catalog is chock full of redneck neanderthalism, and country music fans just can’t get enough of his Gomer Pyle-esque vocal stylings. Now if only fellow redneck Toby Keith would just write a song about gun totin’ Sarah Palin, heck, the country charts would be bursting with social relevance! Wooooey! Break out the beer, the shotgun, and the pickup truck, and let’s go lynch ourselves a liberal! Hot dog! 
In this photo, we see Tippin proudly posed over the dead carcass of an Elk he hunted down and shot with a high calibre rifle. Of course, the macho and manly Tippin did not confront the animal in the open field and subdue it with the sheer force of his bare hands, thereby proving his manliness. Instead, Tippin hid in the brush and snuck up on the unsuspecting, unknowing beast while it was wandering around looking for food, then killed it with a weapon from a safe distance. Tippin even wore camouflaged clothing so as not to give the Elk the unfair advantage of actually seeing him. Yes, Tippin proudly proved that the long, sharp, mighty antlers of this wild beast are no match for an unseen disguised stalker with a high powered weapon, hiding in thick brush, shooting bullets from several hundred yards away. How manly. Hey, maybe next time Tippin could sneak up on a 12 year old kid, punch him in the face and take his lunch money! How macho! Isn’t it interesting that when a sniper shoots unsuspecting, innocent people from a hidden location he’s called a psychotic murderer, but a guy hiding in the bushes picking off unsuspecting, innocent animals is a “sportsman”? Yes, the human race has a long way to go. A very long way.
