Cut The Cadology or More Pots Calling Kettles Black

I’m sitting here listening to a Sesame Street podcast, and the word on the street is “frustrated”. I’m also staring at an email sent to me by the Florida Democratic Party, whose slogan is, “Putting Floridians first because security begins at home”. That’s a non-sequitur. For every Florida Democrat that made fun of Sarah Palin, “Cohesive thought begins at home”. The only people involved in party politics in the 21st century are stupid, all of them. Not a good portion of them, not a lot of them, not most of them, all of them, every single one. I don’t have a problem with them begging for money. I do have a problem with them whining about corruption in Tallahassee by the Republican legislature. They’re Southern Democrats. They invented corruption. Their complaining about someone else’s corruption is like Keith Richard’s complaining about someone else’s drug abuse. It also bothers me that they’re ham-fisted about it. They seem to think that since Florida went to Obama that people in Florida are down with his act. They aren’t. Very few people voted for Obama in Florida. They voted against the lingering stench of the worst president in the country’s history, a six hundred and fifty year old guy with a history of cancer, and his Desperate Housewives of Juno running mate. The Governor is a Republican and Republicans outnumber Democrats almost two to one in both the State House and State Senate. The “We’re queer and we’re here!” strategy isn’t going to work, at least not on anyone over the age of twenty-two, which makes me think they’re not really trying to accomplish anything. How does donating money to the Democratic Party show the Republican legislature that Floridians are unhappy with how they’re doing things? We do that at the polls on Election Day, if we’re unhappy, which in this state is a very big “if”. Why are you telling me about how they’re spending money on ads, instead of telling me about how you would pull Florida ahead of Arkansas and/or Louisiana in education? You know, since we have the fourth biggest economy in the country and we’re dead ass last in teaching children how to read, write, and rithmetic. A hurricane is on the horizon and you’re telling me about how my fire insurance deductible is too high. Y’all think the wrong stuff is important at the wrong time, and that’s why you suck.

Clarification: NAEP - Nation's Report card puts Florida ahead of Arkansas, Louisiana, and a dozen other states... but good ol' Florida is LAST in per-pupil funding.
