Some obnoxious buddy is saying BOOYA! about something on DailyKos, or someone else is demanding that we please trade the idiot president to another country for two prospects and cash.

Hamilton Nolan · 11/20/12 04:55PMFlorida's Best Banned License Plates
Lauri Apple · 09/30/11 05:15AMRecently the California Department of Motor Vehicles released a list of 100 vanity plates they rejected as part of their efforts to keep California classy.

The War Against ILVTOFU License Plates
Maureen O'Connor · 09/15/11 03:25PMTofu-loving Tennesseean Whitney Calk has teamed up with PETA to protest being denied a vanity license plate that says ILVTOFU (I love tofu) because state bureaucrats misread it as I LV TO FU, which they found offensive, because fucking.

cityfile · 11/12/09 10:27AMA day after Gov. Paterson announced that New York would introduce new license plates—and charge every motorist $25 for the privilege of switching over to the "Empire Gold" plates—and he's already backing away from the plan. Following a storm of protest, Paterson now says he's prepared to abandon the fee. As long as someone can figure out how to make up for the $129 million gap in the state's budget. The governor says he doesn't know how to do it. Do you? Call 518-474-8390 and ask for Dave. [NYP]
