Wacko of the Week -- 01/12/08

Preamble: There is certainly no shortage of candidates for Wacko this week.

1. GALLOPING POLL: (.e. runaway):
In the first place, as everyone knows, the pollsters clearly were crazy when they predicted Obama to win New Hampshire by a wide margin.

In the second place, they fell all over themselves trying to explain why they were wrong, and hey! let's accept their word for it. There were tons of good reasons. But - ahem! - don't they make their money by being right?

dollar unpaid tax jam with

Here's our first runner up this week:
The Administration of the Rib Mountain Elementary School in Wassau, WI, which transferred a teacher who patted a student on the head, after the parent claimed the child was "hit." It's an appalling example of where correctness is carrying us these days.
