She so stupid, she saw a sign that said “Detroit Left” so she turned around and went home.

What is the sense of having a Jeep if you can’t go off road?

“But I was wearin’ my seatbelt!” she countered.

If every idiot in the world had to wear a similar sign, it sure would make it easier to see them coming and avoid them.

Until then, “Obama/Biden 2012” bumper stickers serve the purpose rather nicely.

Everybody knows you can’t pass a school bus on the left when the lights are flashing.

Maybe she was texting on her Obama-phone.

driving on a sidewalk to avoid stopping for a school bus
Just another one of Holder's people gaming the system.

We live in a nation where it’s now a majority of adults who don’t have kids. (sorry, can’t quote the source, so it may or may not be a good statistic.) As this continues, expect more callous behavior.

Her license should be permanently revoked.

A Cleveland woman must wear a sign labeling her as an “idiot”

The judge could have made her wear a sign saying: "Obama Voter."

But I repeat myself...

I never understand why judges are able to get away with this under the 8th amendment. Don’t get me wrong, it can be very useful to let the punishment fit the crime. But there it is in black and white, and unusual punishment is unconstitutional. I highly doubt wearing an idiot sign is usual.

Actually, her behavior perfectly illustrates the typical liberal/leftist/progressive mindset; she wants what she wants when she wants it and she’s going to do whatever it takes to get it.

They operate on the level of a three-year-old. If they can’t immediately have what they want, they will throw a tantrum or just try to grab it anyway.

In my college days I used to type up old federal court cases for electronic scanning. One case I came across involved a man who, as part of a "creative" sentence was instructed by the judge to wear a sign that read "I am a thief" (or some such; I can't remember the exact offense). He successfully challenged the the sentence on the grounds that no government entity can force a person to admit guilt to a crime, even if he's been found guilty in a court of law. To allow such a thing would mean that an individual could be coerced into a confession, or denied the ability to appeal. I'm not surprised that there aren't more such challenges, though. Most people, given a choice between wearing such a sign or serving a jail sentence would swallow their scruples and choose the former.

She only got 30 days revocation of her driver’s license. The judge might have told her she was going to get 6 months revocation unless she agreed to wear that “i am an idiot” sign. I would definitely take such an offer even though you say it is not legal form of punishment.
