It's Bad Behavior Friday™! -- bridge closing edition

As everyone in the Bay Area knows, the Bay Bridge will be fucking closed all weekend -- until 5 a.m. Tuesday! Man, is that ever going to put a crimp in my plans. I was going to be ALL OVER the East Bay this weekend.

Biggest losers? The people who planned three weddings on Treasure Island on Saturday. Caltrans agreed to let them run a bus back and forth from SF -- otherwise that would be one long-ass wedding party.

That driver who mowed down more than a dozen people in San Francisco and a nearby town earlier this week? Why, some are saying he was mentally unstable. You don't say!

In southern California, two tweakers held a man prisoner for three days in military housing on the Twentynine Palms Marine Base. None involved were in the military; the house was assigned to a Marine who was out of town -- as in Iraq.

Today's superhero of the week is Matter-Eater Lad (right), a short-lived member of the Legion of Super Heroes. He ate his way out of trouble! And people say we have an obesity problem today. Clearly they never saw Bouncing Boy.
