Subject: Florida has gone crazy

 

Lisa,

Jeb Bush sure left his mark on my state. From s-election 2000 to bringing Florida down to 49th in high school graduation rate. And the GOP led primary debacle that caused Dems to lose our delegates. My state has become filled with stupid people, politicians especially, thanks to Jeb. Your site has kept me semi-sane since 2000.

Thanks for writing and a big hug for your support.

 

Florida has a long history of stupid politics. One of my favorites examples is when some good old boys tried to ram through legislation giving the University of Florida control of the newly formed Florida State University football team in the late 1940s. In grand Seminole tradition, the brand spanking new FSU Seminoles supporters refused to sign a "treaty", and the legislation failed.

 

Zoom to 2008 - Florida has become the Gun Shine State! Yee Haw!

 

They don't call it Flori-duh for nothing. Especially when Republicans are in charge!

"I saw a political expert on TV today, and he said the Pennsylvania primary -- that's the big one with Hillary and Barack -- he said it will likely come down to which candidate wins the white, male vote. Oh, that's a relief. Maybe white men can finally have a say in how this country is run for a change." --Jay Leno
