From CBS News, “A Port St. Lucie, Fla., mother is outraged and considering legal action after her son’s kindergarten teacher led his classmates to vote him out of class. Melissa Barton says Morningside Elementary teacher Wendy Portillo had her son’s classmates say what they didn’t like about 5-year-old Alex.

Clinton + McCain = Moron(s) of the Day

April 30, 2008

We may be looking at a McCain/Clinton ticket this November. How funny would that be? Today, the New York Times is reporting that McCain and Clinton have teamed up for the latest boneheaded political scam so far (there is still great potential before November though).

MOTD: Mr. Joel Estes

June 5, 2007

I usually see 1 or 2 people every week that do something pretty unbelievable. To celebrate these people and their stupid decisions, I would like to begin a new category called, Moron of the Day (MOTD). I doubt I will have time to post everyday because though there are quite a bit of morons, their stupidity usually doesn’t rise to level of requiring action and setting the universe right again. Today is one of those days.
