THE
LOADED QUESTION-er
"When they kick at your front door,
how you gonna come?
With your hands on your head,
or on the trigger of your gun?"
- The Clash ("London Calling" LP) 1980
- Rolling Stone Magazine "Record of the Decade
('80s)"
Good gravy! What am I doing? I mean, WHAT am
I doing? Hey, I'm writing this on May 1. International
Worker's Day. I celebrate it, although I know
some who don't. Prefer unpaid overtime as a
manager in a Jack-In-The-Box? Opposed to an
8-hour day with retirement benefits? Didn't
think so. Rise now for the singing of the Internationale.
Offended? I'm sure Bill O'Reilly's got a soft
spot on his overpaid flabby shoulder (if not
his head) for condolences.
Rounding off the sharper edges of our personality,
let's head to this month's quiz on politically
correct race cars. Well, some incorrect, too,
but what the hey.
