Kiss of death..

I mentioned the song by rapper Jadkiss a couple weeks ago in this blog post. Now he is saying that his line asking
"why did Bush knock down the towers" iis a metaphor. Sort of like how the title of my post "why did Jadakiss become such a crappy rapper" was a metaphor - in other words, not at all.

He claims that the line means that Bush should have stopped it. But he doesn't say how. Apparently being the President of the United States gives you superpowers to see into the future. Of course, when Bush tries to do stuff to prevent future Towers (PATRIOT act, increased security, Afganistan, Iraq) that's wrong too.

He also says he's for a higher minimum wage and more jobs. Too bad that most economists feel that a higher minimum wage means fewer jobs. (An interesting alternative view to this is that employment won't change, but jobs will get less pleasant as employers cut perks to save money and demand higher productivity from their higher-paid employees.
