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

On one of Beijing's smoggiest days yet, Olympic committee prez Jacques Rogge, a doctor, praises China for doing all "humanly possible" to clean up the air. Inhaler, anyone? Score: 6

It's not often regular citizens make it to the Index, but Reginald Peterson of Florida is that good. He called 911—twice!—because his spicy Italian Subway was missing its sauce. Score: 38

Hats off to our first 100-point scorer. John Edwards outclassed the competition by cheating on his wife, who has cancer, and then lying about it during the campaign. Ouch!

    For once Newsweek prints the absolute undeniable truth- Edwards deserves every one of the 100 points awarded to him.....Way to go Sen. John (my political career is going down the crapper) Edwards!

    It figures, Edwards is just like all politicians. All of them have secrets. I just saw that McCain possibley might have a old DUI You can see Video at http://www.mccanes.com? Wonder what skeletons Obama has? If Obama picks boone Pickens as his running Mate. I might Just Vote for him. I read Obama was going to adopt some of the Pickens Wind Plan. You can read it at http://www.boonepicken.com I still dont know who I will vote for, I probably would of voted for either Huckabee or Hillary. It would be nice if the GOP would nominate a different candidate. Ive voted Republican my whole life. But probably not this time. Alot of republicans are very unhappy about McCain being the Nominee http://www.hotpres.com
