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 [...]

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 [...]

A lot is being made over this:

I can see why.  SOME folks in Arlington are saying they don’t think this represents their community.  The question I have is, why not?  Mayor Carmen is obviously very fit and healthy.  That folks, is a good thing.  The image I’m getting is folks in Arlington, OR, must be [...]

This is pretty amazing to me:
A 10-year-old Florida girl faces felony weapons charges after bringing a small steak knife to school to cut up her lunch, according to a report on WFTV.com.
Thinking this story was blown out of proportion or something, I read on:

“She did not use it inappropriately. She did not threaten anyone with [...]

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
up
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 [...]

My buds at Independent Sources so nailed this issue I just suggest going there and reading it.  A synopsis:
…….but reading this story about Brazil’s recent discovery of a deep water oil field of 5,000,000,000 to 8,000,000,000 barrels of oil made me think of it…….
……but when the US has a known field of 25 to 50% [...]

Almost lost in the midst Hillary being labeled a “bitch” and whether or not Barack properly poses during the National Anthem was this major headline on Fox:
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 [...]

The Eagles have released a new album.  It’s their first one in a while.  They entered the scene with a bang in 1972 and really hit it beyond big with Hotel California in 1976.  Finally, in 1979 they recorded The Long Run.  That marked the end of The Eagles recording.  They did however, continue to [...]

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 [...]
