US congresswoman Cynthia McKinney is pushing for the public disclosure of all government records related to the life and death of Tupac Shakur. The Georgia state representative has introduced a bill before congress, entitled 'The Tupac Amaru Shakur Records Collection Act of 2005', which calls for the "expeditious disclosure" of those records.

The bill is modelled on 1992's John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act which mandates that all material relating to the late president's assassination be housed in one complete collection. If it becomes law, it will mean that the Tupac records will be gathered together in the National Archives in Washington DC, with a second copy of the collection being kept at the Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts in Stone Mountain, Georgia.

McKinney argues that "all government records related to the life and death of Tupac Amaru Shakur should be preserved for historical and governmental purposes," but it's not hugely likely that the bill will succeed any time soon, it being held up in two separate house committees by Speaker Of The House Dennis Hastert.

I swear, this sudden fascination with Los Angeles gangs must be GTA: San Andreas's fault. Curse you, CJ!

I found Denny Hastert's reply to darling Cynthia:

Two-puck? Who's that?

Someone had best shut down Congress again to test for this strange substance that makes them believe that a transient on the pop charts will be of any interest to future generations.

Two-cluck is dead; that's about all anyone really cares about the matter.

If he was a triplet, would he be Sixpac?

Dear Miss McKinney,

Tupac was a thug.

He lived like a thug.

He died like a thug.

Love,

The US Government.

P.S. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Tupac or not Tupac, That is the question. More liberal wing nut spending of your tax dollars. Some whores will do anything to curry votes.The Dems MUST be desperate.

[Slings and Arrows]

Julian Phillips has several sucking chest wounds?

[metmom]

Who cares?

"If he was a triplet, would he be Sixpac?"

He wouldn't have survived puppyhood in the Sixpack clan.

Tupac spelled backwards is Ca-put.
