One of our favorite political pundits, George Will, recently wrote that politics, like physics, must have a theory of everything. He called it the Cupcake Postulate. We're not sure how, but the theory probably explains why Raul Peralez, a San Jose cop running for San Jose City Council, posted a photo of provocatively decorated cupcakes on his Pinterest social media page.

Good taste requires IA to be delicate here: The cupcakes mimicked the female reproductive organ, baked in various, sugary colors. It was captioned: "Eating out never tasted so good." Other delicacies depicted on his "Manly Men" Pinterest board included a cake that looked like a thong-clad woman's posterior and a phallic looking thing wrapped in a tie.

To his credit, Peralez 'fessed up, apologized and quickly removed the entire board posting. He said it was meant for a bachelor's party, not for public consumption. Still, he's running for a full-time public office representing the downtown district of America's 10th largest city!...

His opponent, lawyer Don Gagliardi, passed on a delicious opportunity to bite into him.
