Preview For This Week's Top 10 Conservative Idiots
A $40 million yacht belonging to Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos was untied from its mooring at a Lake Huron marina, police said.
The SeaQuest, a 164-foot luxury yacht, registered under a Cayman Islands flag, was set adrift at the Huron Boat Basin, where it was docked.
"Around sunrise the crew woke to find the boat had been untied from the dock and was adrift," according to a vandalism report filed Sunday by the Huron Police Department.
The crew was able to regain control, but not before the ship struck the dock, suffering several scratches and scrapes, the report said.
The captain estimated that the collision caused between $5,000-$10,000 in damages.

Well I guess on the plus side, they didn't name it "Yachty McYachtface"!
*audience laughs and applauds*
This week on the Top 10 - we are live from St. Louis! Betsy DeVos' boat gets defaced, Trump's trade tariffs are costing jobs big time, Jeff Sessions laughs at snowflakes, there's more fallout from Spygate, Jim Jordan wants to be speaker of the house, we have some more Profiles in #Civility, and we're going to ask how Trump's star on the Walk Of Fame is still a thing. Plus in our weekly investigative piece Top 10 Investigates, we're going to take a look at something called "Looksmax" - it's an offshoot of the Incel movement with an added sense of extreme self supremacy. And in our weekly visit to the Holy Church Of The Top 10 in "Holy Shit", our resident pastor is going to show you some of the more insane things the Christian right has been up to lately. Plus we've got a new installment of Explaining Jokes To Idiots and we're going to take a look at the new Netflix series "Insatiable" - is it a quirky revenge comedy or is it insufferable fat shaming? You be the judge! We also have a new installment of "I Need A Drink" and we're going to get drunk and tell you about the guy who rigged the McDonalds Monopoly game! And we've got a new installment of Deep State Diaries where we will tell you about the governing body of our nation's elections as we look at the FEC! And we've got some live music for you from the legendary Social Distortion!
