I won't tell another man what he can express or to whom, and won't suffer to be "Laned" by one. Neither should anyone else tolerate such. Kanye has always been an idiot and associated with other idiots. If I recall correctly, President Obama thought so also. And I'm fairly certain HE would not be telling anyone who can talk about it and who can't. That sounds more like the current occupant to me; and that's a growing parallel.

These kinds of articles remind me of a line from a book; "Now will scholarship's imbeciles have their day..."

Only it's been a lot of days. So many days....
