Busting Rhymes and More in a MultiCultClassics Monologue…
• Busta Rhymes continues to run into trouble with the law. Now the rapper received a summons for yapping on his cell phone while driving — right past a New York police station. Rhymes allegedly cursed the cops, mashed the ticket and tossed it before driving off. Guess he’s taking the Mel Gibson approach to dealing with law enforcement.
• The FDNY’s recruitment campaign appears to be working, as officials reported receiving over 22,000 applications, with 7,850 being minorities. FDNY Commissioner Nicholas Scoppetta said, “Never, ever have we had 35.5 percent plus minorities applying for the Fire Department and that was the focus of this campaign.” Wonder if the applicants include Busta Rhymes.
• Ford Motor Company announced plans to reduce raises and health benefits for salaried employees. “Ford has declared the next two years off-limits for profits,” said an economist with the Center for Automotive Research in Ann Arbor, Michigan. “Companies that aren’t going to make money for years can’t pay benefits.” In other words, seeking a position with Ford at this point would definitely be considered a bold move.
