NEW YORK (CNN) -- The Secret Service is trying to determine if any action needs to be taken regarding a lyric from rapper Eminem that may be a threat to President Bush. The lyric comes from a bootleg Eminem recording -- one of several from the rapper making rounds on the Internet over the past week. In the song called "We Are American," Eminem sings: "(Expletive) money, I don't rap for dead presidents. I'd rather see the president dead." Dennis Dennehy, a spokesman for the Grammy- and Academy Award-winning rapper, told CNN the song was not ready for release. "This was an unfinished song, either lost or stolen," Dennehy said. "There was no determination where, when, how or if it was going to be used." the rest of the story http://www.cnn.com/2003/SHOWBIZ/Music/12/05/eminem.lyrics/ As far as the deep comment: "What underlies Em's music is far deeper than "attacking" others." From CWSOX's post http://www.soxtalk.com/index.php?showtopic=12592 And now from Em's #1 apologist . . .

At some point he's probably budgeting by position and may only have 2 mil for a 2nd baseman. Grab the money while it's there.

Williams said. "I know sometimes fans and people want a guarantee. We heard that when we brought up the kid with the funny name (Magglio Ordonez) and put him in right field. "They said, 'C'mon, that's not a big-league name!' And now it's a chant [at the ballpark] and I'm criminal No. 1 if I trade the guy." _______________ Yes, KW you are public enemy #1 if you trade Maggs. I'm glad you understand that.

Isn't it interesting that a rapper could rap he wants the president killed and some people will defend it as "deep" and "artistic" but if you aren't famous, and not musically inclined, it becomes a real threat? If these were song lyrics would we think it was ok? Hmmm. I think it's wrong in both cases. But that's just an old man talking.

Eminem mustn't have recorded a Christmas Rap yet; if he did I wonder how it would go? "I don't rap for dead Messiahs, I want Messiahs dead" that's deep My choice is Amy Grant's Breath of Heaven (Mary's Song)

Shall I log in from Mexico to tag another country?

I guess I've gotten old, but IMHO wishing someone dead in the name of art doesn't make a great artist. Describe to me the deepness of wanting someone dead? The right to free speech doesn't allow someone to yell fire in a crowded theater. Put any spin on it you like but I for one just stopped buying his cds.

I think we've gone overboard with some of the zero tolerance rules which limit the administrations options to sanely deal with matter's like this.

I've got to agree with Southsider, when the career lags -- shock.

Agreed, it's about the only way to be entertained at a Bulls or Bears game

Bossier School Board upholds Advil expulsion Girl had over-the-counter pills in purse at school Melody Brumble / The Times Posted on December 5, 2003 A student expelled from Parkway High for a year for having Advil, an over-the-counter pain reliever, will not be allowed to return to the school. Kelly Herpin and daughter Amanda Stiles, a sophomore, appealed the one-year expulsion to a Bossier Parish School Board committee Thursday night, spending about 10 minutes with the board's administrative committee behind closed doors. The committee and the full board voted unanimously to uphold an administrative decision that Stiles be expelled to the alternative school. School boards hold such hearings in a closed session, but parents have the right under state law to request that such sessions be open. Herpin didn't make that request but did speak to reporters after the hearing. She left before the board voted on her request but learned of its decision by phone. "I'm not really sure at this point what we'll do," Herpin said. "I'm going to have to talk to my husband, and we're going to have to make some plans. I'm not sure we could afford a private school. We've been looking at moving to another area." For the rest of the story http://www.shreveporttimes.com/html/AE0F03...F1898F37C.shtml The school was searching for . . . OMG, cigarettes which would carry a one week suspension and found the motherlode, Advil. No word if it was sell weight or pepersonal use.

Gee, I'm shocked

A new shock song from rapper Eminem wishes the president dead, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned... On the track WE AS AMERICANS, obtained by DRUDGE, the nation's top selling rapper shockingly rants: 'F**k money. I don't rap for dead presidents. I'd rather see the president dead. It's never been said, but I set precedents and the standards and they can't stand it... We as Americans. Us as a citizen. We've got to protect ourselves'...

We stretch from average highs of 60 in the winter to 105 in the middle of summer. We have beach and golf seasons. Flowers bloom year round. I will admit right now is absolutely perfect weather. By the time June hits we will be basking in 100 degree days for weeks on end so that sucks. But I'll trade weeks of 100 degrees for snow, ice, slush, wind chills of -anything anyday. We have 4 seasons, Spring, summer, bake, and broil. Nothing like wearing shorts to a hockey game and not freezing my huevos off.

Hmmm, snow . . . I remember . . . brrrrr . . . adios frio, hola caliente! The only way for us to get ice on the roads is if my margarita flies out of my hand.

How sad the courts had to decide between these two "un-fit mom of the year" types.

The prison guard will give her mayo on her burger

I'm not sure which moments I love more, the ones that my kids and I both laugh at or the times I'm LMAO and they have no clue.

Woman gets 10 years for running over McDonald's manager By ANDREW TILGHMAN Copyright 2003 Houston Chronicle A McDonald's customer who flew into a violent rage when she was denied mayonnaise on her cheeseburger got 10 years in prison today for running over the restaurant's manager. Waynetta Nolan, 37, could have received as much as 20 years in prison for hitting Sherry Allen Jenkins with her car, dragging the employee across the parking lot and breaking her pelvis at the McDonald's in southwest Houston. Nolan showed little emotion this afternoon when the jury came back with the punishment after four hours of deliberation. Earlier this morning, however, as the jury heard testimony in the punishment phase of Nolan's trial, her 43-year-old victim tearfully said she couldn't pick up her grandchildren because of the injuries she suffered in the incident. "I put the mayonnaise on her burger," Jenkins told jurors. "I took the onions and the mustard off. What did I do?" The rest of the story http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/topstory/2268726

8-year-old accused of fondling classmates Associated Press MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich. -- An 8-year-old boy accused of fondling four female classmates will be the youngest participant in Wayne County's sex offender rehabilitation program, prosecutors said. The boy, who was not identified because of his age, pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor assault charge and no contest to a felony assault charge. He was sentenced Wednesday. If he completes the program, the felony charge will be dropped. The boy will receive individual counseling because the group sessions for teenagers are not age-appropriate, prosecutors said. The judge also sentenced him to two years probation. Authorities said the boy fondled a 7-year-old girl and touched three other 7-year-old girls inappropriately outside their clothing while the children watched "Mary Poppins" at a Mount Clemens school in May. Defense attorney Richard Marcil said he was satisfied with the outcome of the case.

The SS isn't going to make a difference, get pitching or we're f***ed. No way for E-Lo to win 20 again. Mark will win a couple more, E-Lo a couple less. We have to either get Colon resigned or find another.

But everyone enjoys it when you discus your monster genitalia Does Miss PA have a pet name for it?

Jackson's feeling bugged Michael Jackson Michael Jackson thinks authorities may be spying on him in his own home, we hear. The Gloved One is said to be so fearful that his Neverland ranch has been bugged, he's even looking at his teddy bears suspiciously. A Jackson insider tells us the singer believes that law-enforcement officers may have planted electronic surveillance devices in his mansion last month when they spent 12 hours searching the grounds for evidence that he molested a 12-year-old boy. "He ordered a sweep of the entire place," said the source. "They're even running the teddy bears through radio-frequency sensors to see if there might be transmitters inside."
