South Florida wants what?

Staggeringly Stupid People

“ South Florida Wants to Be the 51st State Because of Climate Change Worries The Everglades are in danger of drowning! [...] Harris has a particular bone to pick with Republican Gov. Rick Scott, who he says won't pay attention to Floridians' concerns about the climate. "This is a reality, even though our present governor doesn't think so," Harris says. "Other than the governor of this state, it's an issue that everyone recognizes." Scott is currently in a tight, ugly race against former Republican Gov. Charlie Crist, who is now running as a Democrat. Reached for comment, the governor's spokesman pointed to an comment Scott made at a gubernatorial debate Tuesday night. Although Scott refuses to acknowledge that climate change is man-made, he said that he spent $350 million to address sea-level rise in the Miami area, and mentioned other large spending packages aimed at protecting Florida's coral reefs and springs. Scott's office did not comment on southern Florida's moves toward independence. [Full Nonsense, via Helly] While it's not only possible that Florida can disappear under the sea, it's likely inevitable as witness 4 billion years of mother nature rearranging her furniture, so to speak.  And, anybody who thinks a vote for Charlie Crist can make a difference is either certifiable, or a godless Progressive asshat. In either case, staggeringly stupid. ”
