A lot of states have their wacko governors but our governor is a piece of work that no one that doesn't need to be heavily medicated with long term institutionalized therapy would dream of electing. Of course this is Florida and we know that in order to vote in Florida you have to check your brain, and your soul, at the border. But he's not the focus of this diary because he's doing it for the money. After all, no one in their right minds would run for governor spending 73 million of their own dollars and not expect to get something back. In a way that I can't explain I think I can respect.

As a long time science teacher and coach (33 years) I'm not happy with what he's doing to education in Florida. However, with the long term plan by the republicans to starve public education, and replace it with for profit voucher schools, no one should be surprised.

Only in Floriduh could this happen. During the last election one of the items on the ballot was a constitutional amendment that says political districts must be drawn fairly and not gerrymandered to favor one political party over another, and the republicans fought this tooth and nail. Now in Florida in order for a constitutional amendment to become law it must pass with a super majority of 60% of the vote. It was approved by 63%.

A couple of years ago I stated that I believed the reason the republicans were able to take over was because too many on the left had their own issues and they believed their issues was the only issue of importance. Meanwhile the republicans picked up the American flag, wrapped themselves in it with some Bible scripture, and the rest is history.

What good does it do to have an inspiration leader if he refuses to inspire and lead?

No I'm not talking about giving aid to al Qaeda, North Korea, or Iran. I'm talking about those on the left who continually do and say things that gives the republicans ammunition against us.

I don't know how wide spread this is, whether it's just a local group or if it's a nation-wide effort, but what they're doing is nothing more than criminal in my opinion.

I always think it's healthy to laugh even if it is at our own expense. Someone sent this to me in an email and I thought it was funny so I thought I would share.

I think it would be interesting if some of the more clever readers could come up with a classic retort to this. Any takers?

I remember the first liberal website I went to after the 2000 election which was named "Bartcop." It was funny, had lots of insight, and gave me plenty of ammunition to pelt my conservative friends. Then there was "Allhatnocattle" which I'm sure the name came from Molly Irvins comment about Bush along with the lable "Shrub." Atrios, Smirking Chimp, etal until I found "Daily Kos."

Apparently some of our re-elected republicans just don't get it as is the case with Florida's Congresswoman Genny Brown-Wait. If you remember she's the wacko who said we should dig up all the coffins of American soldiers who died in France during our two world wars because it was popular at the time to hate the French.

Now it's time for her to hate the muslim community because, after all, the election is over. Read More

Apparently John McCain was offended by Kerry's comments and is demanding an apology. I for one hopes he not doesn't apologize but smacks them in the mouth again, and again, and again. Read More

Florida vs The People of Florida

Put down your friggin' flag!

The Democratic party just isn't worth it.

Pro life group telephone scam.

You have to admit, this is pretty funny.

We need to avoid our own self-imposed irrelevance.
