So I know that Sheri Lewis isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, but would she address this diatribe to "slick"? Might as well attribute this to Abraham Lincoln, it would be just as (un)believable, and it would have more gravity.
The anonymous author left off Rule #6:
Don't be black while being a citizen.
With Bush's signature on the new terrorism bill soon, we will soon have Rule #7:
Don't have an independent idea about politics. Ever.
Welcome to the New Age, never thought we'd get this far!
I kknow this may seem like a lie...
I know a heck of a lot of cops.
MOST will admit they have never shot anyone.
