Tonight, hip-hop artist Common will be honored at The White House. Your bushy-tailed reporter was listening to some Hannity on the radio yesterday, when the host played some audio, where the rapper waxed on about killing cops and setting fire to former President George W. Bush. They say that the First Amendment protects free speech, as long as you don't engage in 'fighting words' or 'yelling fire in a crowded theatre'. I'm glad that Mr. Common doesn't engage in those fighting words. He goes straight for the 'shooting' and 'setting former Presidents on fire' words. As for me, one of my favorite poems starts with those wonderful words:
She was a fast machine/ She kept her motor clean/ She was the best damn woman that I ever seen.
