Well, when Florida sinks into the sea in a few decades because they chose to ignore the problem, it’ll be their own fault. ---

Excellent username/OP combo. Scott successfully convinced the voters of Florida that he’d created jobs. Underpromising and overdelivering is a good strategy (Scott projected that under his administration the state would add _fewer_ jobs than the Department of Labor predicted would occur as a natural consequence of the nationwide recovery, so when it added more he looked good.) ---

Not fair! He should be out by now, living in a halfway house and flipping burgers for minimum wage… Besides, he would be safe from prison rape, who wants to fuck Skeletor? (Is there a Mrs. Skeletor? She doesn’t either…) ---
