The Occasional Observer

This is the kind of stuff that drives most people crazy. Senator Boxer takes offense at a military man calling her "Ma'am" instead of "Senator." And the thing is, you know that Boxer knows that "Ma'am" is a traditional, respectful way of addressing a superior in the military. Maybe it's just the "traditional" part of it that bothers her. Or maybe she wants to feign outrage for the hard core feminist vote in CA.

In any case, she is today's "Worst Person in the World!!!!"
