me: BRIAN! I just thought of something! We can start listening to Paris's "Bush Killa"
again!

Brian: That hadn't even occurred to me yet. I wonder if Paris is going to
re-release it, update it or something.
Did you hear that Clinton's White House staff pulled a prank on Dubya's.
Before they left the removed all letter Ws from all the keyboards in the
White House.

me: He should remake it...it might resurrect his career...
I heard about the prank on the news last night. Freaking classic.

Brian: A new album, Dubya Killa.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In case you don't remember, Paris is an MC from San Francisco who made some noise a few years back when, in the aftermath of Ice T's whole "Cop Killer" controversy, he released his record Sleeping With The Enemy. The CD included the song "Bush Killa", which, as you might guess, advocates the assassination of one very high-ranking official who's son now currently resides in the White House. The inner sleeve of the record showed Paris, dressed in black and hiding behind a tree, waiting to carry out the deed. Seeing as how this song was aimed (no pun intended) at Dubyuh's dad, I thought it might be time for Paris to update the song to fit current times.

Props to the outgoing Clinton staffers. Childish, but ingenious.
