Most Used Labels (updated)

stooooooopid (132)
FULLA$#i+ (110)
totally phokked (93)
Bushian (90)
that's so America (87)
we are living in a golden age (cont'd) (83)
expect delays (75)
SHOCKING (74)
bad ideas (73)
s#i+ blowing up (68)
whitey keeping darky down (cont) (64)
he SUCKS (59)

The top 5 remain the same, with we are living in a golden age (cont) shooting up two spots, and bad ideas falling 3 spots. The 12 above were the top 12 before, so we need to start rooting for some of the lower ones. I'm rooting for Idiocracy myself, with Fung needs a suga mommie a close second.

We also perhaps need an analysis grouping some of the similar ones together - like the brain-dead's and the how to suck at and the whitey/darky ones. Also the ones that have one of us mentioned - though I think K-Mad destroys us there.

Well, off to the Florian...
