A weekly mathematical survey of dubious behavior that measures, on a scale of 1 to 100, just how low a person can go.

  • To the tune of "White Christmas," conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh sings that he's "dreaming of riots in Denver," site of the Democratic convention. Score: 10
  • During a live radio interview, Bill Clinton says the Obama campaign "played the race card on me," then claims the very next day that he said no such thing. Score: 58
  • Over public objections from her own national party and likely nominee John McCain, North Carolina GOP boss Linda Daves airs a race-baiting, anti-Obama attack ad. Score: 63

    Here's something pretty low and more then a little dubious. My family and a few friends assorted asociates and some people they hang out with in elected government here in the US call me their EAR.
    What a bummer huh? No way out. What to do ? Call in AFTRA? No help, I tried. The more I complain the more disabled I get. God speed they seem to say.

    As he lit my cigarette , a friend asked me, "How low can you go? I said "I don't know?" Well then he continued" how much does the 21st cigarette in a pack of unflitered Luky Strike Brand cigarettes cost?
    I replied "I give up". He responded "It doesn't cost anything,it's free" I replied "Your eyes are circle."
    And to this day I don't smoke.
