You have to love the idea of a guy who rakes in millions sitting on his ass recording his rancid unsubstantiated opinions to inflame popular opinion suggesting that my father-in-law who spent his working life pumping gas should have to continue to work at that until he dies.

Somehow, the party of the country club elites has recast itself as the champions of the working folks, but you can see that they forgot to put a camo T-shirt on their deep-rooted sense of entitlement.

The Sister Souljah moment sparks pleasant memories of the time GANGSTER RAP threatened Rochester, NY.

Ice-T was riding high on his cover-the-little-ones'-ears hit, "Cop Killer" When he was booked at a local venue, the usual suspects weighed in. Would blood flow in our peaceful community? Would our young people lose respect for the law? We're in danger of losing a whole generation this time!

To my surprise, cooler heads prevailed and the show went on. Mr. Ice more or less agreed not to play the incendiary song. The venue in question was not in Rochester's urban center. It was out by the lake, and was frequented by lots of white suburban kids.

No guns were drawn during the performance, and everyone had a good time. The PO-lice stood around with nothing much to do, but think about how to spend their overtime pay. When it was time for the encore, Ice-T said, "ahh-fuckit" and kicked into "Cop Killer." The audience applauded. The lights went up and everyone filed out. Some may even have stopped to buy T-shirts. The little white kids' moms were waiting in the parking lot, and drove them back to the burbs.
