NOT US NOT HERE

 Count on Florida to hold the line. 

While the rest of the nation returned to a bit of sanity, Florida continued to elect and re-elect science-denying, immigrant hating, MAGA republicans; proving once again that our state is populated by an overabundance of Chuckleheads. 

The more things change in the Country, the more things remain the same in the State that proudly has a county named Dixie. 

Meanwhile, California Governor Newsome, in an act of political courage, commuted the sentence of over 500 inmates on death row. They will now serve life in prison. 

Soft on crime? No. 

A society should be judged not by how it treats its outstanding citizens but by how it treats its criminals”

Fydor Dostoevsky, The House Of The Dead. 

(Sadly we can probably count on one hand the number of Floridians who have read that book. But a whole lot more can belt out Dixie.)
