As you peruse this entry you might be asking, So…who’s the Jerk?  If you voted for Trump, look in the mirror. 1. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt who said Wednesday that news organizations that refuse to use President Donald Trump’s new name for the Gulf of Mexico were telling “lies” and insisted it would continue to bar Associated Press journalists from presidential events. 2. FBI…

Ye Ain't Me

When Ye — the artist formerly known as Kanye West — paid for a  Super Bowl ad that directed viewers to his website we thought he might be following the example of Prince and changing his name to a symbol.  Then we went to the site where a Ye T-Shirt featuring a swastika was being sold.   Ye says he’s doing this to help pay for his new teeth.  If Ye wants to change his identity to a swastika we…

This Just In…The truth has been revealed.

Why did President Trump pardon 1,500 January 6th insurrectionists? Simple. The leader of the Oaf Keepers sent a nice note to the spouses of police officers who gave their lives or were injured protecting the Capitol. The note says, “We’re real sorry we busted stuff and punched some guys. We promise to never do it again unless we get drunked up again and feel just plain ornery.” And the guy…

Senator Steve Halloran

Go ahead, throw the book(s) at him This Nebraska State Senator crossed a couple of lines when he included the names of two other senators while reading passages from a book depicting sexual assault. Even some of his fellow Republicans were calling for him to resign or face censure. Others simply want to ban him from banning books. But we’re in a helpful mood today and we’re giving Senator…

The Russia Show

Friend or foe? It' s all the same in Russia.

As Russians celebrate the 305th anniversary of Peter the Great murdering his own son, Tsarevich Alexi Petrovich, it’s time to watch another episode of The Russia Show. Peter the Great didn’t trust his own son, who he nicknamed “That god damn treacherous son-of-a-bitch.” Peter’s behavior fits right into the template for a thousand years of ghastly behavior by rulers who show more concern for their…

Three Media Idiots

Stay Classy, Stooges

 We’ve been busy taking out the trash, shoveling snow, doing laundry, drinking heavily…    You know, important stuff.  But we’ve finally stumbled on something that piqued our interest in a world that already harbors too many Despicable Jerks.  Let’s call them the Three Stooges of modern television. Or perhaps just Three Media Idiots. First is NBCUniversal’s CEO Jeff Shell who was tossed out of…

The Christmakwanzaramica Holiday Party

People we wish would just go away. Merry Christmas

These are ten jerks in no particular order with varied misdeeds on their record that come from almost innocent to truly vile, all randomly selected to attend the annual holiday gathering of jerks to let them feed on each other’s egos, destructive acts and general “assholery.” They come from the enormous list of known Jerks and the vast crop that no one has bothered to identify because it is just…

IMPOSTER Elon Musk

The new Dorian Grey?

This incredible jackass has obviously kidnapped the REAL Elon Musk and is holding him – possibly for Bitcoin ransom – depriving Corporate America of one of its few true heroes.  The REAL Elon Musk gave us the first classy, mass-produced electric cars.  He set us on course to transform public transportation by building a prototype underground high-speed transport capsule. He launched one of his…

The Donald....DUCK!

The Donald….DUCK!

After helping Republicans snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in many 2022 mid-term elections The Donald promises to sink even more candidates by running for president – for the third time. When someone is drowning, the phrase “going down for the third time” is never good news. Aren’t elephants endangered enough in these tragic days of modern times?  The GOP suddenly has that sinking feeling

Ye and Me

What could Kanye West and Alex Jones possibly have in common, except of course being Despicable Jerks? Ye – formerly known as Kanye West, formerly known as Mr. Kim Kardashian, has come up with a T-Shirt that says “White Lives Matter.” Well of course they do, but why would an African American guy not say “Black Lives Matter,” or “All Lives Matter” or simply shut up. Hard to say since he is buddies…

Covid's Banshee Variant

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water.

The Covid plague has summoned a curse more virulent and dangerous than the little bugs that caused the original plague. Our crack team of scientists has placed our “Jerk” label on what they have identified as Covid’s Banshee Variant. It has reduced some otherwise thoughtful and generous folks into raving lunatics. Consider the trucking blockade spreading out of Ottawa. Truckers have been hailed…

Marjorie Taylor Greene

No one was more surprised than Marjorie Taylor Greene whenTwitter suspended her account faster than one of her trademarked Jewish Space Lasers. So we checked with QAnon to find out what was behind this move.  Simple.  Twitter members since the first American Civil War have had the same treatment — always identifying suspension targets by their traditionally villainous three word names. It started…

Fight the Friendly Skies

This will bring back cart service!

Perhaps it’s time to give up and admit traveling in jetliners is a transportation form that has been conquered by stupid people. “Fights on Flights” is our trademarked suggestion for an idea that might be a boon to the airlines as they combine the excitement of professional wrestling with the growing number of angry passengers who now take out their rage on innocent flight attendants. Spectators…

Pete Ricketts

Lex Luthor or Zippy the Pinhead? The jury is still out. Nebraska’s only governor whose name is a disease has done the impossible – forced the state’s local daily into featuring an anti-Ricketts editorial.  The headline: “Nebraskans shouldn’t have to pay for political showboating on Texas border.”  The point?  Why should Nebraska taxpayers fund their homestate troopers to help Texas pretend to…

Matt Gaetz

Thank you, thank you very much, Elko, you’ve been a great audience If only half of what we’ve read about Matt Gaetz is true, he has earned his way to the list of Despicable Jerks and is right at the top of the special Florida variety of jerks. Those folks are famous for bad behavior ranging from basic misconduct to high crimes and misdemeanors.  Speaking of the 45th president, you know…

Unexpected Guests

Don’t you just hate it when unexpected – uninvited guests show up at your nation’s Capitol Building, crap on the carpets, break some windows, and then kill one of the policemen you summoned to evict those guests? How rude. We can’t imagine what Emily Post would say, but it might be “GET OUT—GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE RIGHT NOW!!!” We suspect Emily Post would also insist on sending appropriate…
