What's amazing about this is that the band in question was Great White, and not Rammstein.

These INS idiots just prove my theory that anyone placed in a position of authority, whether real or imagined, craves that position subconsciously, not for what good they can do for society, but for what kind of hurt they can impose on others.

It's purely psychological.

Hence why 90% of cops I know are complete assholes, and why the manager guy in "Office Space" was so friggin hillarious.

You know, there are a few things in life I wish would happen to me. One of them is to have someone pay me $32,000,000 to *not* do something. You would think Mariah would get the hint--or maybe not. In any case, I think it's time she retires into musical obscurity and does something productive, like get a reality TV show... where she doesn't sing.
