Here’s my early morning list of the jerks of the day:

Tom Bates, Mayor
Calvin Fong
Linda Maio
Darryl Moore
Maxwell Anderson
Dona Spring
Laurie Capitelli
Betty Olds
Kriss Worthington
Gordon Wozniak

They all get it for abusing their position as a representative FOR Berkeley in order to embarass the rest of the country, which they do not represent.
If Berkeley feels so compelled to speak on [...]

In 1996, Ralph Nader electrified the disenchanted and ran as a third-party Green candidate for President.  When it was all said and done, he came in fourth with .71% of the popular vote, not carrying enough votes to win one single small state.   However, he did edge out Harry Browne ( remember him? ).  This [...]

Given Rudy’s flop in Florida, I fully expected him to give up.  However, given Edwards’ usual tenacity in the face of obvious defeat, I fully expected him to ride the entire race out, even if he didn’t do so well in the polls.  The reason being I never thought he had a chance to win [...]

The story about John McCain winning Florida has devolved in the discussion group to almost exclusively a debate about Mormonism.
Could someone PLEASE explain to me again what the issue is and why it matters?  We don’t elect a Pope or head of the church.  We elect an administrator to safe-guard our military and fiscal spending.  [...]

After putting all his eggs in one basket, Rudy did dismally in Florida.  He’s out.
I had hopes for Rudy being  a viable candidate, he just either chose, or was advised some really awful strategy.  By ignoring all the previous primaries, he ignored all the free publicity that comes with it.  Even if he hadn’t won [...]

First, she lost this one:

Now, a lot’s being said about that one, but I think it’s over-rated as far as the average voter goes.  He’s popular in Boston, but that’s about it.  The only thing it does show is a crack in the Clinton “establishment”.   Bill & Ted go back a long way, I’m kinda [...]

Fred Thompson has pretty much declared it’s over.
I honestly never saw any indication he was in it.

I have the Social Security issue all figured out ( again ).  It doesn’t require cutting back benefits or raising taxes.  It’s simple too.
Just expand the death penalty to include crimes that result in abuse or death.  That category would include molesters, drug dealers, and “insane” murderers.  Make it a lot simpler to enforce if [...]

I find this kind of ironic:

The study by Sacred Heart University Polling Institute found 45.4 percent of the respondents think journalists and broadcasters are mostly or somewhat liberal. Just 15.7 percent think they are conservative……
And, as far as which outlet is “most trusted?” FOX News led the way with 27 percent, CNN at 14.6 percent; [...]
