...Minnesota, our Emperor started out with no clothes at all. He came to us from a branch of the performing arts in which large men who resemble comic-book characters pretend to fight each other, so when he was inaugurated and did not appoint barflies and dope dealers to office but donned a suit and white shirt and horn-rimmed glasses and managed to sound half-smart about a third of the time, his approval ratings turned three sheets to the wind and have stayed that way ever since...

On his best-selling single My Name Is, Eminem raps "Ninety-nine percent of my life I was lied to/ I just found out my mom does more dope than I do." Lest one think he was merely trying to rhyme, he also described his mother in several national magazines as a lawsuit-happy, welfare-relying-on drug abuser. Mathers-Briggs' lawyer claims that his client never engaged in illegal activities and that the rapper is merely trying...
