happythoughts 0 #1 February 13, 2009 We have had many actors in politics... The Governator, Reagan, Eastwood. A few singers (I am not counting Sonny Bono as a singer). Why not rappers? Joaquin Phoenix is an actor turned rapper/psycho. Seems like the next logical move. How much worse could rappers be than the lawyers? "50-cent" will need a more prestigious name... maybe... "Three-fitty". How about Vanilla Ice? He isn't really a bad individual and everyone knows that he could use the work. I know there will be some objections because many have a criminal history of theft and drug use. ... but I think the rappers will be able to tolerate the politicians...

It would probably be a refreshing change there.. what with all the corn cob retentives that have been there for the last 15 years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Two words: Jesse Jackson The rapper lifestyle glorifying gangs and violence is already destroying a whole generation of black youth. I don't think we want to institutionalize it.

We have had anal retentives in there for as long as I've been alive. HT's post made me laugh at the absurdity, but yours made me think that maybe that is just what we need to finally get legislation repealing asinine laws like the ones on drugs, prostitution, and gambling. And just imagine how much more fun the debates would be when they morphed into rap battles."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

happythoughts 0 #5 February 13, 2009 Quote we need to finally get legislation repealing asinine laws like the ones on drugs, prostitution, and gambling. Exactly. Maybe the politicians can share. Right now, you have to be in politics to get involved in prostitution or drugs. - parental conversation - "If you become involved in drugs or prostitution, you'll never get a decent job." "The mayor of Wash, DC is a decent job. The gov of NY does pretty well too." "...um, honey, I've got nuthin' left here..." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
