And You Thought The FL Legislature Couldn’t Get Crazier

August 1, 2009August 10, 2015 219 Views 0 Comments Carey Baker, Constitutional Amendment, Florida Legislature, healthcare, Healthcare Reform, Scott Plakon

Never sell the wingnut Replublicans in the Florida Legislature short. Last year they were busy saving us all from Automobile Testicles, and tried to eliminate daylight savings time (the logic being it would be less confusing for Senator Bill Posey). So now, two of our distinguished legislators have called for a Florida Constitutional Amendment to prohibit Floridians from participating in, an as yet non-existent, healthcare insurance reform.

Our Overworked Legislature-No More Car Testicles

April 23, 2008September 29, 2018 725 Views 1 Comment Bull Balls, Carey Baker, Florida Senate, Freedom of Expression, Testicles

You will be pleased to know that the hardworking men and women in the Florida State Senate have now protected you from one of the greatest threats to civilization as we know it…the bull testicles hung from trailer hitches….oh, and it appears to also mean Calvin whizzing on the Ford/Chevy/etc. logo. I’m wondering about all the truckers who will have to remove their mud flaps with the chrome women on them when they cross the state line.

Florida Amendment 2-The Great Debate Part 1

April 18, 2008August 10, 2015 284 Views 0 Comments Amendment 2, Constitutional Amendments, Fairness for All Families, Florida Constitution, Florida Family Policy Council, John Stemberger, Nadine Smith

At the end of March, Nadine Smith, Co-Chair of Fairness for All Families, took on John Stemberger of Florida Family Council at the Orlando Tiger Bay Club for debate on the Amendment 2, the Florida Marriage Protection Amendment. Basically, he got his ass handed to him by Ms. Smith, but I don’t think she was aggressive enough. The event was videotaped, and posted on Youtube in four parts. This is the first in a series about each of the four segments of the debate.

We now have “take your gun to work” here in Florida…not just on a specific day, but everyday, and we’ve got airline pilots shooting through the cockpit with their TSA issued handguns due to another idiotic TSA procedure.

The Battle in Florida is Joined-Amendment #2

March 31, 2008September 29, 2018 B. John 193 Views 0 Comments Amendment 2, fl, florida, Florida Constitution, Florida Legislature, Marriage, Marriage Protection

This will be the first in what I expect will evolve into a series of articles related to the upcoming election and the vote on Constitutional Amendment #2. This is the krazy kristian kooks attempt to have a large conservative turnout in Florida, so instead of fielding a worthy candidate, they go for the devisive issue. Amendment #2 is, of course, a “marriage protection” amendment for the Florida Constitution.

Ditching Daylight Savings Time in Florida?

March 29, 2008September 29, 2018 B. John 162 Views 0 Comments Bill Posey, Daylight Savings Time, Florida Senate, Jim King

It seems that State Senator Bill Posey wants to end Daylight Savings time in Florida. According to him it’s just too much trouble to change all the clocks and watches. Of course, just wait until you have to figure out what time you have a conference call. We have people in Central time, and that gets confusing sometimes. I’m scared to think what it will be like to have a different time than the rest of the east coast.

This is a wrap up of the minor and unusual stories from the news for the week ending Friday, January 18, 2008. Not surprisingly we find some wingnuttery going on in the Virginia State Legislature.
