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 [...]

Originally, I thought this was going to be the idiot of the day.  Then, I was going to morph into Big Brother run amok.  But, the story reads a lot different than the obvious.

State Del. Lionel Spruill introduced a bill Tuesday to ban displaying replicas of human genitalia on vehicles, calling it a safety issue [...]

This is dumb.  Walmart was selling these clever little panties:

On the back it says “When you have Santa”.
Someone objected so Walmart is yanking them off the shelves.
Grow

people.
They’re cute.  So what if it infers something a little risque?  If I find them at my local Walmart before they hide them, I’m buying some for the [...]

High School Cheerleaders Suspended for Flashing Crowd During Britney Spears Routine
I immediately had flashbacks to my high school days.  Now, our cheerleaders fit the stereotypes to a T.  Not [...]

There’s a lot being said over waterboarding.  Michael Mukasey’s nomination is said to be “drowning” over this one single issue.  Joe Biden and Patrick Leahy, who are prone to oppose just about anything for the sake of politics, are “concerned” that Mukasey, rather than completely cowering and denouncing PC-torture-procedure-of-the-day, stated he’d rather look at each [...]

You know you’re in a bad way when Google’s context sensitive advertising does this:

Now, ya just gotta wonder why “Ann Coulter” would even come up in an article that never mentions her.  More politics by Google?  Or, is Ann’s name now so synonomous with “Jew” that Google’s engine just can’t help it?
Honestly, I would not place [...]

I doubt anyone could say they didn’t see this coming:
A lesbian couple married in Massachusetts should have the same right as heterosexual couples to now divorce in Rhode Island, lawyers for the women told the state’s highest court on Tuesday.
Cassandra Ormiston and Margaret Chambers wed in 2004 soon after Massachusetts legalized same-sex marriages. They filed [...]

Or probably any office for that matter.  Check this out:
At the event in North Hampton, Iowa, a questioner took issue with Clinton’s recent Senate vote calling on President Bush to formally call the Iranian Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization. He argued that such a distinction confers the president with the ability to invade the country.
“Why [...]
