Ludacris is also responsible for the following pro-sodomy anthem that surely would be off putting to conservatives: "I wanna li-li-li-lick you from your head to your toes." Etc.
Between calling HRC an irrelevant bitch and his new song extolling the pleasures of drinking and driving, I think Luda has fallen the fuck off. And I can't believe Saxby Chambliss still keeps getting elected after all the ignorant shit he's done.
@ellaesther: I always think people mean Human Rights Campaign when they say HRC. But then ppl were saying how just saying "Hillary" is disrespectful and "Clinton" is obvs unclear. I also have trouble differentiating between the disparate uses of "ED." Then again, my perpetual hangover fog might have something to do with it.
@InkAndPaper: You know what, that's what I heard last night, didn't understand it, moved on with my life, then just saw that my Jezebel said it was BFD, and so thought: Huh! I must be not just old, but also deef.
@ellaesther: Ever since I switched from TiVO, I can't get the FCC* to work on my TV and I sometimes miss subtle things. I blame my off-brand DVR, DISH TV and the acoustics in my family room.
Of course I am old, too. And if BFD doesn't mean Big Fn Deal, then I feel even older.
@Tart of Darkness: Thank you for the translation of FCC! Because in all honesty, I was all: "Why would the Federal Communications Commission work on Tart of Darkness's TV?"
I don't know why pundits are making a big deal of Chambliss winning. McCain won Georgia, so it makes sense that Chambliss won the runoff (he took more votes Nov. 4 as well). Now if Obama had won GA, THEN that would have been a big deal.
@scullymurphy: Honestly, I am very confused by all this young folks lingo. Did he mean that she is a Big Fucking Deal? A Back From the Dead? Perhaps this? [www.bfd.com]
The obstacle that Hillary has in the Senate is that she is a relative newcomer there. She can't do as much as the old guard. She doesn't have the seniority of many people, and so it would be years before she would get the choice committees. She could make an immediate diference as SOS. I personally don't think that she wanted the VP spot because if Obama had lost with her on the ticket, it would have hurt her chances in 2012 since it would have looked like she couldn't bring in the votes.
@mizz2bee: if she goes back to the Senate, there is talk she wants to challenge Harry Reid as majority leader. But the Senate doesn't care that she got 18 million votes in the primaries: they care that she's in the middle of her second term and has never been a committee chair. If she is SOS, she gets the big plane, she gets a big staff, she can send Bill off as the special representative to somewhere, she can entertain at her beautiful house. Meanwhile, Obama still has Biden and whomever he choses as NSC advisor, and he can let her do her thing.
The only problem is Bill: would he try to act as SOS himself, speak for her, and get her and Obama in trouble? You can't control him.
Sorry to threadjack, but Rachel Maddow totally just referenced Spencer Ackerman and if I don't type that out, I won't remember to mention it during CH tomorrow.
i'd also like to note that a part of obamas economic plan is offering tax breaks ONLY for companies who do not outsource and close domestic offices. auto makers, take note!
This is taken from a Time article, and explains why GM has us all fucked:
"But ultimately, whether GM is dead or alive, the taxpayers are on the hook for billions, for everything from lost tax revenues to higher unemployment costs to taking over GM's pension obligations. The decision that Washington has to make is whether we pay for GM's survival or for its funeral."
So we either pay to keep everyone employed, or we pay when everyone becomes unemployed. Sounds awesome.

Really, why would Ludacris do that?
(Cough. See: [jezebel.com] etc)
I want to write a comment with nothing but abbreviations and initials, and see how much trouble I can get into.
