Ohio’s hopes of getting financial help from Washington to deal with the state’s fiscal crisis have dimmed because of a political compromise in the U.S. Senate. The compromise, needed to win a few Republican votes and move the package forward, took about $100 billion off the stimulus plan’s price tag, including $25 billion specifically to help struggling states deal with their budget problems.
So let me get this straight, just to get a few jackasses to vote on something that will help out the huddled masses, you had to “cut” a $100 billion dollars? I don’t have a problem with it if it isn’t needed but…I’m getting ahead of myself, let us move on.
Govenor Ted Wasting Energy...
Ohio had expected $3.4 billion from Washington, according to Gov. Ted Strickland’s office. Now it will get $930 million less, Strickland’s office said.
I don’t know about the other states, but I know about Ohio and let me tell you, kinfolx, this is one joint that needs every single buck it can get its hands on. I don’t like where this is going.
Other cuts in the Senate plan could mean $293 million less to Ohio for education, the governor’s office said.
And here we go with the threats. “Yeah, since we couldn’t get all the money that we wanted, we’re just going to have to fu*k up your children’s future a lil’ bit. Sowwy.” Why you Nabisco cookie eating bastards! Just once I want to hear a politician say, “Golly, this is horrible, I think that everyone in the government should take a pay cut to somehow offset not taking anything away from the kids.” Just once. Yeah, right, f*ck that, put on the steel-toed boots and kick Sally in her junk.
After the “threat” has been made, now we move on to “but…wait, it doesn’t have to be this way” time:
Ohio still has a chance to win back the dollars lost in the compromise. Assuming the Senate bill wins approval today, it must be reconciled this week with a House version in a conference committee made up of lawmakers from both chambers.
I forgot to add that they threw in a little, “hey, if this doesn’t go through, don’t blame it on me” spin as well. Didn’t the first part of the story deal with how they had to “compromise” with Republicans and by doing so, the s*itstorm got started in the first place? Now they’re in a conference committee with some of the very same folks? I need a scorecard to keep up with the fu*kery.
Anyway….we’ve gotten the wind up, the pitch and now:
If the compromise stands, Strickland said Monday, Ohio might have to make extensive cuts to higher education and allow tuition increases. The state also probably would cut child care programs, subsidies to mental health and mental retardation boards, health and safety services, prison operations, youth services and Alzheimer’s respite care.
“Put simply, without substantial fiscal relief for states, more Ohioans will lose jobs and fewer Ohioans will have access to the critical services that our state and local communities provide,” Strickland said in a letter urging Congress to rethink its latest approach to the stimulus.
BOOM! Goes the dynamite.
I have a few questions; how did the state pay for all of this stuff in prior years? I don’t want to hear about how bad the economy is because it was already crap-tacular here in O to the Hi-O before Great Depression II–The Empire Strikes Back, hit?
Like I said before, I didn’t see anywhere in the story that any of the big shots in C-bus (Columbus, the Ohio state capital for those of you who were the recipiants of a American ed-u-ma-cation that politicians are forever taking money away from. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of you were taught that there were only 46 states because your US History books only go back to 1911…
Oklahoma is the 46th state and became a state in 1907….
...and they say money doesn't teach you anything
New Mexico is the 47th state and became a state in 1912, so in 1911 there would have only been 46 states, why am I explaining this? Where was I?
I have yet to see where anybody in Columbus, or Washington DC, for that matter were not accepting raises (now that I think about it, maybe they did…what does that matter, these dudes and dudettes get all kinds of kickbacks and perks and other shenanigangs, it’s not like they’re going to miss what they don’t spend anyway) or going weeks without pay or taking pay cuts (or limiting perks) or anything like that. What up, fellows and ladies? We’re out here struggling behind your bullsh*t, it ain’t fair that you’re not stuggling, either, motherfu*kers!
Hey Strick? Are you honestly telling me that there aren’t other projects out there that you can’t cut back on? Back in January, you had nothing but love for the kids. Now you throwing them out with the bathwater.
You threaten to raise tuition in this state, it’s already a bit*h to pay, now you want to make it a rest-of-your-life debt for anyone who wants to go to college to pay? I’m sorry, it’s already there, now you want to add on debt to the afterlife? That’s bad, but hitting the mentally challenge in the wallet is downright gangsta. You’re kidding, right? Please tell me that you are. It’s not funny, man.
Aren’t we in the midst of a near pandemic with this Captain Trips-ish super flu bug and you’re talking about cutting funding for Health & Safety? Say, what? Quit playing, Ted, seriously.
...they took that left turn at Albuquerque and wound up in Ohio, sucks for you.
Lord knows that if there is any state in the Union that doesn’t need a hit to it’s prison system, it’s this rancid arse state.
As if all that wasn’t bad enough, you want to lay the smackdown on the elderly and throw them under the bus and send them to privately run elder care? Have you been to a privately run elder care facility? I have and, although I have no doubt in my mind that there are some excellent places in this state that would step up and handle things adequately, I wouldn’t trust my dog to some of the Boomquishas, Tashas, Mr. Mann & dem at some of these joints who act like they doing the elderly a favor by being there instead of their frackin’ jobs! I don’t want to play Elder Care Roulette with my grandmother and I shouldn’t.
This right here takes the cake:
Democrats made the concessions over the weekend, gaining enough support to win a procedural vote on Monday. Even so, very few Republicans back the $838 billion bill, including Sen. George Voinovich of Ohio, who said the compromise still gives too many billions for programs unrelated to the economic crisis.
I have an idea and, I admit, it might be a little wacky. If this compromise gives too much money to programs unrelated to the economic crisis, stay with me now because here comes the wacky part…
THEN DON’T GIVE IT TO THOSE PROGRAMS!!!!
I know, call me crazy. If you politician dudes are saying that things like education, health and eldercare is “unrelated to the economic crisis”, then it’s you who are crazy. No, I take that back, you’re not. My moms always say that people will only get away with what you let them and you politicians are just doing whatever you want and we’re on this side of the fence going “oh, okay, doop de doop de doooo” like Boo Boo The Fool.
We can’t continue like this.
I want to make myself clear on what I am about to say next; I wish that we could fire all of you political jackasses. Democrat, Republican, Independant, Batman, Superman, Dog Catcher, Indian Chief, I don’t care!
You assholes are playing “politics as usual” with your Republican “compromises” and “The Democrats are in charge now, it’s our way” crotch grabbing, with a Speaker Of The House who we all wish would just shut de f*ck up, leading the way. What the hell? While you numbballs are bulls*ittin’ and having d*ck-measuring contests, we’re f*ckin’ dyin’, here!
We wonder why the kids are, more and more, growing up to be f*cked up adults, look at who they have to go to for guidance; Greedy, selfish politicians and a complacent public who continue to look towards these Country Time lemonade sippin’ sonsab*tchs for guidance/leadership when they couldn’t give a rat’s ass about us.
The Weapons Of Mass Destruction were never in Iraq, they were on Wall Street and in state houses and legislatures from Juneau to Tallahassee and everywhere inbetween. (Juneau is the state capital of…you know what, I’m not doing this again, google it if you don’t know)
Let's play games with your lives
Everybody is running game on the American public. We have one of the sorriest education systems in the Free World. We watch mortgage companies run game on us, bankrupt us and then have the nerve to come back and play hardball with us when they’re the ones who should have been hauled off to Guantanemo Bay and waterboarded.
It’s a sad state of affairs when people who worked their asses off to obtain as much education as possible have to “dumb it down” on their resumes out of fear of being considered “over-qualified” (talk about a bullsh*t phrase; that’s right up there with “minimum-wage” which means, “this is the minimun I can pay your arse, if I could pay you less…oh, boy”) for a job. Times are desperate and we got fools out there who want to get somebody out there on the cheap instead of someone who’s qualified and then some. It’s a mad, motherfu*kin’ world, I tells ya.
I wouldn't be so quick to diss'em...they just might be your boss one day
It’s a crying shame when Buy N’ Large, I mean Wal-Mart (no I meant that WalMart is going the Buy N’ Large route with their Medical Clinics plans; Wal-Mart Medical Center? Scary.)and McDonalds are hiring more people than everybody else. Yet the folks up in Washington are jockeying for spots on the totem pole and messing us, the American public, around, some mo’.
It’s time, it’s time for some changes. Get these fools that are up on Capital Hill, who are more concerned with party lines instead of un-employment lines, O-U-T, those down in the state capitals who want to threaten and punk you over state budgets and projects that we are constantly getting taxed on but still always come up short of money, they gotta go, too.
I don’t care what color you are, what party you’re in, how good you look in a suit or how pretty you talk when you speak, it’s time for some action! These fools have got to go and we need to get some people in there who care about the country and its people.
USA! USA! USA!
If this was Iran, I could understand some reluctance, I really could but there are people there who are fed up with that ‘ish and they’re dealing with a regime that don’t take protesting against them too lightly and will open up a can of whoop dat ass to stress their point. That’s why I love America, mmm mmm!
Smoke'em while you got'em; President Obama, it's gonna be a long four years...
Time for me to stop bit*hin’ and moaning, time for everybody else to stop waiting around for the other shoe to drop, time for paying attention, taking notes and calling mofos OUT. It’s time to get America back on top. First thing we need to do is to send a message out to these jerks in office that “politics as usual” has been suspended indefinetly. I don’t care what party you’re in, if there are problems in this stimulus package, FIX IT! You don’t like what’s going on with President Obama’s attempt at creating a free healthcare system in this country, STOP THINKING ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVE TO LOSE and START THINKING ABOUT WHAT AMERICA HAS TO GAIN AND FIX IT…etc…etc…etc…
Stop this dickin’ around and get to f*ckin’ work to fix this damn mess that we’re in!
The sneakers retail for $215, but they are so exclusive that people have paid thousands of dollars for them at consignment shops and on the Internet since their initial release in March.
For those ugly, fey arsed sh*ts? Really?
I would have left this alone and chalked it up to fools and their money departing, foolishly, had Kanye not put a spin on the ish:
Though they may be pricey for some, West said the proceeds go to his charity to help expose high school students to the arts.
Gee, thanks, Kanye. You think the best way to raise money to “the arts” is to sell a limited edition sneaker, made in third world countries for 15 cents a shoe, for over $200 American dollars, in this economy?
Nigga please! Are you for reals? Come on, son. You blowing so much smoke up my arse with this ish that you’re giving rectum cancer.
You infamously stated once that George Bush didn’t care about black people. Explain to me, as if I was a small, wee child, how selling an over-priced, over-hyped, glorified Keds sneaker with a 90s LA Gear design (all that’s missing on those craptacular junks is the flashing red light in the back of the shoe) for over 200 large is a good thing? Do you care about black people, Kanye? If Dubya Bush came to the hood and said that 200 dollar shoes for teenagers would be a good buy, he’d get run out of Dodge (I don’t know why Dubya would be selling shoes to young black teenagers, play along, willya?)
I will admit, you got pull, you got people who hang on your every word (why I don’t know, you whine like a old woman), why not spread your “influence” by telling kids to save their money on something more worthwhile, like an ed-u-ma-cation or cheaper clothes. Hell 200 bucks could get them in, at the very least, a Members Only jacket (sorry, that was one my wishlist flashbacks from 1985). Hell, Kanye, you could have endorsed a cheap sneaker for PAYLESS or even started your own inexpensive line of ugly sneakers ala STARBURYS. Dude, you could make a zillion bucks. Do something, ANYTHING besides peddle off some 200 dollar sneaks. It’s bad enough when the Nikes and Eccos of the world come in and exploit the kids under the guise of fashion statement, your ass was, once upon a time, a poor ass kid yourself, you should know better.
F*ck you, too Kanye
Well, at least the kids are optimistic…
Shannon Dorth didn’t mind the rain and humidity as he sat in line for more than two days. All that mattered to him was that he got his pair of shoes. The 17-year-old Clevelander and 10 other people camped outside of Villa, a new sneaker store in Cleveland…
The store is one of a few sneaker boutiques in Cleveland.
“To open up a store like this in the Harvard area (Lee-Harvard is an predominently black neighborhood located on the east side of Cleveland) is huge,” Dorth said. “It’s right in the middle of the community and maybe other stores like this can come here.”
Awww, the yutes, I tell ya. I remember that once, I too, was optimistic about economic improvement coming to the hood. I hope that he’s right. Seriously, I hope that this new store is the start of something good.
Oww. I think I just hurt my spleen in that attempt at not being cynical.
For those of you who don’t know exactly what Juneteenth is, here’s a brief rundown:
June 19 is the annual celebration of Juneteenth, the oldest ongoing celebration in honor of the abolition of slavery in the United States. On June 19th, 1865, Union soldiers marched into Galveston, TX with news that slavery had been ended by the Emancipation Proclamation two years earlier. For two years, slaves in the area had been unaware of their right to freedom. Texas had not had much contact from Union troops until after the April 1865 surrender of General Lee, the leader of the Confederate side in the Civil War. By 1865, Union troops were finally able to subdue the Confederate soldiers who still resisted the Northern victory.
The response to the news by the former slaves was both shock and joy. Some waited to find out if there would be a new relationship with their former masters, but many just left immediately in search of a better life and separated family members.
That’s deep. That’s the clean version. I know good and well that somebody acted a fool when they found out that they could have been free almost three years before except “Massa forgot”. Shiiiiiiit.
I would have loved to been at that announcement ceremony:
Union General: Hello, slaves, or should I say, former slaves. You are free as of January 1, 1863. Run along now and demand an honest pay from your former masters, now your boss. Just think of it as slavery with benefits and not too much whip.
*a former slave raises his hand*
Former Slave: Uh, Mr. Union General, what was that you said?
Union General: I said runalong now.
Former Slave: Nah, suh, before that.
Union General: Why, I said you are free, free to move about the country (I should trademark that)
Former Slave: Nah, suh, after that.
Union General: Oh, yes. You are free as of January 1, 1863
Former Slave: That’s the one. ‘Scuse me but what’s today, suh?
Union General: Why, it’s June 19, 1865.
Former Slave: Hmm, well I don’t know how to count or read or even wright, suh, but let me see if I gets this right… Youse tellin’ me that we been free for um…how long?
Union General: over 2 and a half years, boy.
Former Slave: What the F*ck? We been free for damn near three years and got damn Massa didn’t say nothin’ about it? Where he at? I’m gonna kick his got damn ass!
In 1906, Upton Sinclair wrote THE JUNGLE, a novel about the corruption rampant in the American meatpacking industry of the early 20th Century. He sought out to evoke sympathy for the workers in the meatpacking industry from the American public as well as alert them of the horrible working conditions of the meatpacking plants and the corporate slavery that the workers in the plants had to endure. However, with his infamous story of men falling into meat grinders and being ground into lard, he got the public’s attention, but not quite in the way that he had hoped:
“I aimed at the public’s heart, and by accident I hit it in the stomach.”
103 years later, in the new documentary FOOD, INC (currently playing in limited release) filmmaker Robert Kenner attempts to hit you in the stomach and force you to open your eyes.
Take the Great Sugar War Of 2009 (that’s my term, I like it), for instance. On one side, you have this “yes it is/no it isn’t” back and forth over the nutritional worth of high-fructose corn syrup. Is it good for you or it is slowly killing the s*it out of us? The food companies are taking note and, no, not letting us know for certain that we’re safe (WELL…kinda, sorta). Mainly, they’re all gung-ho into a new marketing campaign; SUGAR IS BACK!
BOOM, BABY!
Ahh, the good ol’ “exploitaton of one’s worse fears” card has been pulled, well played! It worked so well to nearly eradicate the Native American and send troops to Iraq to find Weapons Of Mass Destruction! USA! USA! USA!
Sigh…
It should be pretty obvious, to anyone with an ounce of common sense, that public well-being has taken a backseat to corporate greed.
Healthy living??? What the deuce? How dare you, First Lady Obama???
...no need to fear food industry, her husband is still on the junk food...for now
When corporations start complaining when the First Lady comes out against HFCS and gripe about equal time when she starts a organic garden on The White House grounds (when you have to say organic in the same sentence as garden, that should make one wonder, there are INorganic gardens?), that should give one pause.
When government organizations that are SUPPOSED to have John Q. Public’s back, such as the USDA and FDA (you would think that these organizations would have told us all about the possible dangers of high-fructose corn syrup years ago…but nah) turn a blind eye to the mayhem that is occurring on a daily basis all across the country, you have to believe that you have to take care of you and yours, yourself.
103 years later, it’s not just the food industry worker that should be concerned, we all should be.

That sound you hearing is the frantic filling of sandbags calls to their corporate lawyers by the likes of the NCAA and “Massa” David Stern of the NBA, to be thrown on top of their leaky, shakey, tired corrupt levees rules they’ve put up to prevent teenagers to get past them and their indentured servitudepimping the kids “helping the young athlete” under the guise of having to play one year of college basketball before going to the pros ala LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard, for example. Bryce “The Chosen One” Harper, is dropping out of high school, getting a GED and going to community college in the fall in an attempt to get to the pros and get paid all that much quicker. The sporting equivalent of Hurricane Katrina is about to breech the levees and oh, boy, the block is about to get hot!
A 16-year-old baseball phenom dubbed the game’s “Chosen One” by Sports Illustrated plans to skip his final two years of high school in hopes of entering the Major League Baseball draft earlier, his father said.
Bryce Harper has registered at a community college where he plans to attend classes in the fall and play next season, his father Ron Harper said.
Doh!
Doh! is right. Although this is a baseball issue, you can bet your sweet ass that the possible, no eventual ramifications will be felt all across the college and pro sports realm. You know every teenaged man-child out there is on the phone with their agent, screaming SHOW ME THE MONEY!
…and find out how they can work this “loophole” to their advantage. Every big time college sports recruiter has got to be taking a big dump in their Nike sponsored underwear at the thought of some kid they’ve had their eyes on since junior high school deciding to “pull a Bryce’ and head out to some community (or junior) college until they’re the age of consent of whatever sport they’re trying to get that big league loot from.
“People question your parenting and what you’re doing. Honestly, we don’t think it’s that big a deal,” Ron Harper said. “He’s not leaving school to go work in a fast food restaurant. Bryce is a good kid. He’s smart and he’s going to get his education.”
Uh huh. Bryce isn’t quitting high school because he got the IQ of Al Einstein and heading out to M.I.T. either.
Harper, a 6-foot-3-inch catcher whom experts say could be a top draft pick when he becomes eligible, recently signed enrollment forms and a letter of intent to play for the College of Southern Nevada.
Unless they have one hell of a Physics department, I don’t he’s headed to the Harvard of the Desert. He’s going to some backwater glorified vo-tech that just hit the lottery because they have a baseball field and a five-and-dime, ho-hum curriculum. I bet that Southern Nevada’s even easier to get into than Arizona State.
SIDEBAR: Southern Nevada? I swear I think that was the name of the college where Gabe Kaplan coached at in the movie FASTBREAK I LOVED THAT MOVIE! Bernard King was one of the players and Swish was a girl!
Harper plans to take a high school equivalency test and enter the draft in 2010 or 2011, Ron Harper said.
2011? By 2011, he will be making so much money that he could buy Southern Nevada. Not the college, that section of the state.
“Bryce is always looking for his next challenge,” Ron Harper said. He’s going to pursue his education, too. He’s going to get pushed academically and athletically.”
I am beginning to think that Dad know more about Southern Nevada than he’s letting on. Maybe it IS the Harvard of the Desert!
Harper hit .626 with 14 homers, 55 RBIs and 36 steals last season for Las Vegas High School.
Does he scream out “Shazam!” before he heads out to the field and magically turns into a superstar? And he’s only 16? When I was 16, I wasn’t even the man in kickball in P.E. class.
His photo is on the cover of the June 8 issue of Sports Illustrated, along with a headline that compares him to LeBron James, the Cleveland Cavaliers basketball star who received superstar hype in high school before getting picked first in the 2003 NBA draft.
Just think about what would have happened had LeBron quit school in the 10th grade and turned turned pro a year later. If you guessed that all hell would have broke out and his mom, Gloria, would have been called all kinds of neglectful and gold digging. They would have ran her out of Ohio. She would have been considered lower than a Cuyahoga County engineer. That’s REALLY low.
Ron Harper said his son pushed to leave high school early.
Put the gun right up to your head, did he?
“He was thinking about it, he initiated it,” the father said. “He said, ‘Dad, why can’t I take my GED and do this?”‘
Maybe the boy is a genius after all and he has a mutant superpower of persuasion, too!
Players become eligible for the draft at age 16 if they have completed high school.
All jokes aside, I can’t knock the kid (nor his father’s) hustle. Looking at the big picture, There are more problems at hand than what Papa Bryce is up to with his son.
The educational system in the United States is a joke. More and more, kids are coming into the real world, more and more dumb everyday. Hell, I know that the schools aren’t entirely at fault for this. My moms always says that people will get away with what you let them. The parents let the school systems nickle and dime their kids through the system and ill prepare them for life in the 21st Century. Hell, some of these kids wouldn’t have made it to the end of the 20th Century, while ya bullsh*ttin’. Instead of preparing these kids to pass some stupid test that will ensure funding for the next year, how about teaching these little mofos how to manage a checking account. How to talk to people, how not to be a asshole all their lives? Like I said, I know that I can’t put all the blame on the school system. But, they aren’t helping to make a valid reason(s) why Bryce should stay in school another two years. Please, tell me why shouldn’t any kid who has the mental capacity to take things to the next level, NOW, have to toil away another two years with the riff-raff if they can excel in college, right now?
Oh, I can hear some of you saying, “what about the message that it sends out to the other kids”? Good luck with tell the kids that “staying in school is cool” and that “getting an high school diploma is very important” when, more and more, it’s looking like it’s not worth the paper that it’s written on.
Besides, I can bring up sample after sample of kids being home-trained or the number of children who get strictly tutored, get an high school diploma as a mere technicality and wind up getting into Ivy League schools and doing well. What about Olympic athletes and tennis players, for example? There are some who never set foot inside a high school. The method that the kid is going about it may have an ulterior motive, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s wrong. I’m just saying…
And spare me the “He needs to develop social skills that he can only cultivate in an high school setting…please give me a f*ckin’ break. Don’t get me started on that ish.”
Another thing, no one wants to address the corruptness behind the way the NCAA uses the student athlete to get major, major money while they constantly hijack the non athlete, non scholarship student funds via tuition hikes and all kinds of “additional fees” that would make Capital One green with envy. No one wants to really discuss that elephant in the room because it’s much easier to take swings at dudes like Ron Harper for setting his kid up to get paid.
The times, they are a changing and what I hope will come from this Bryce Harper deal is that instead for going for the “easy” out and bitchin’ and moanin’ about another parent scheming to get his kid a big payday so they can get on the gravy train, we all take a good long look at the Big Picture
I was over at Kiss My Black Ads (a very good blog spotlighting and discussion in regards to Black Advertising, with some pop culture thrown in the mix for taste). The main topic of discussion today was a ad campaign for Chicago-Lake Liquors. And…well, just look at some of the commercials, first:
Sigh. Ironically, now I need a drink.
This is sad, blackface without the make-up. It’s The Black Acting School scene from HOLLYWOOD SHUFFLE redux for the 21st Century (check it out below–Warning: Turn down your speakers):
I knew it was a mess when Craig Brimm, the creator of KMBA, usually a well spoken, reserved individual, was for a loss of words and resorted to blunt tactics in response to the ads (check out his post and response here).
Whenever I see something like this, I ask myself a few questions:
What the hell?
What were they thinking?
Who do they think this will appeal to?
Do they even care if it offends or turn away current and/or potential customers
Why am I asking these stupid questions? I already know the answer before I even ask them.
Cheap publicity the old fashioned/re-invented for the new millennium, way, via public outcry, of course.
We’ll get mad, tempers will get ta flarin’, then the local news will get a hold of the story and somebody will start start having wet-dreams about a local Emmy and, if they’re lucky, parlaying this “tragedy” into a on-site reporting gig at CNN or, clutch the pearls, FOX NEWS (why they just might get a chance to stand out in the middle of a incoming hurricane and fight near-100mph winds to get.you.the.story. Just like my good friend, Gerraldo Rivera.
Then the outrages goes national; Keith Obermann will crazy-go-apes*it and shoot his verbal load all over the place, climaxing in a WORSE PERSONS IN THE WORLD moneyshot. Maybe the owner will go on Tom Joyner Morning Show to “tell his side of the story”, get told off, sassy-fied, by Sybil Wilkes. Afterwards, Chicago-Lakes Liquor will submit an heart-felt “we’s sorry, boss” My bad after all the outrage has gained them about 200 years of free publicity in the span of two weeks. Maybe they will donate some Popeyes to the local NAACP (I mean, really, how many folks you think work at the Minneapolis NAACP? Two, three?) Then they will get the official Swagger Status® when a C-List rapper shoots a video in their store and more people will know the name CHICAGO-LAKE LIQUOR than the current Vice President Of The United States.
I'm The Vice President, you son of a bitch! No, my first name ain't Dick, it's Joe, Miss Jackson if ya nasty!
Hell, if they play their cards right, they could probably get a VH-1 show or get to sponsor a season of HELL DATE on BET.
I want to call the guys who came up with this ad campaign geniuses but you don’t need to be a brainiac to be a sh*t stirrer. Just put all those years of bong smoking & 8-ball drinking in the frat house while listening to Lil Jon and Yung Jeezy albums to use (finally) and roll out your best ghetto slang and laugh your arses all the way to the bank.
I hope when you get home, n*ggas are robbing your house, idiots.

Former Slave: What the F*ck? We been free for damn near three years and got damn Massa didn’t say nothin’ about it? Where he at? I’m gonna kick his got damn ass!
