    Turns out that crazy doesn’t disciminate. And when you’re “important” (read: wealthy), it’s easy to get surrounded by people who aren’t going to challenge you, no matter how crazy you get.

    Hmm…

    The Mob is dropping common sense and
    We’ll gank in the pen’, we’ll shank
    Any Tom, Dick and Hank, and get the ass spanked
    It ain’t about how right or wrong you live, but how long you live

    Hard to imagine the author of those bars being anything but conservative.
