Sinead O'Connor
an Irish singer, popular in the late 80s - early 90s. In 1990 she had an international #1 hit (the Prince - written "Nothing Compares 2 U") and a #1 album: "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got". She has great talent, an excellent singing voice and she can play some instruments and writes most of her songs, too. She has an extreme appetite for controversy however and in the autumn of 1992 it all backfired when on TV she ripped up a photograph of the beloved Pope John Paul II and shouted "Fight the real enemy!". By doing that she pissed off an entire planet because she dissed an icon admired by not just Catholics but Christians of other denominations, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, people of other faiths and more. Even atheists respected him for his stances on social issues and human rights. She did it to promote an album and it all flew back into her face. Sinead recordings were smashed by a steamroller in New York City. She had enough notority with her shaved head which didn't dilute her pretty features one bit. The picture-tearing incident put her fame in the trash can, as she never scored a big hit again.
Today she still says and does stupid controversial things in public, but her music career ain't going nowhere.

I saw Sinead O'Connor rip up a picture of Pope John Paul II on the Letterman show late night on TV. A few people cheered. Others gasped in disbelief.

Ford
An American car company, started by the entepreneur Henry Ford in the Detroit, Michigan area in the early 20th century. The name "FORD" is for many people an acronym in various forms:
Figure On Repairs Daily
Fix Or Repairs Daily
Found On the Road Dead
Fucked Over Rebuilt Dodge
Fucked Over Rebuilt Dishwasher
and on a positive angle:
First On Race Day

and on a positive angle:
First On Race Day
My second car was a Ford Fairmont. Because it had a V4 engine it took a few seconds to accelerate, but once it "clicked" it took off like a bat out of hell. Maybe it wasn't First On Race Day but maybe Fourth or Fifth On Race Day. It got me going. It never behaved like the negative acronyms suggest. It performed quite nicely.

passport law
a new post-9/11 rule that says you can't leave or enter the U.S.A. without a passport. Just to go to Canada you have to spend $100 on a passport and wait for weeks to get it.
I live 4.5 hours away from the Canadian border and just to go up there and spend an afternoon I have to carry a passport now, thanks to this new passport law. That really sucks big time!

Tom: that candidate promotes family values!

Fuck you, asshole!
As we all know, this is a phrase that the Terminator (portrayed by actor/bodybuilder/now California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger) picks up during a street fight to get some clothes. He uses it later on a custodian who's collecting trash from the hotel rooms.
Here's some dialog from the 1984 movie "The Terminator":
Custodian: Do you have any trash?
Terminator: Fuck you, asshole!
