In Hawaii we have our first female governor, and the first Republican governor since 1962.  I'm somewhat satisfied, but I hope she doesn't goof up and result in another 40+ year Democratic monopoly after her term... choice/competition is always good.

Now what I want to know is how that freaking pregnant pig issue got on the ballot!  Jumping Jesus on a pogo stick...if special interests can get that on the ballot and passed as a constitutional amendment then they can get anything passed!

I'm so embarassed to be a Floridian...the only state in the union where it is unconstitutional[/i] to keep a pregnant pig in a cage.

"Bullet train" ring a bell?  It was on the ballot the last go-round, and an amendment to repeal it was supposed to be on the ballot this go-round.  There's a special interest group out there somewhere playing dangerous politics for money.

PETA is out in the open.  They sponsored the pregnant pig thing.  But some unseen hand forced the bullet train upon us and is defeating attempts to derail it.  I smell a conspiracy darker than the Anderson Columbia concrete plant scandal.

Al-kiada wanted to change America.  Gotta admit.  They did it.  I wonder how they like the results.

Yeah, I was working for DEP when all that Anderson crap was going down.  One of my best friends was the DEP litigator working the case who got canned when he protested the land for concrete deal that Struhs cooked up.

The solution to the political problem is a 34-inch Easton aluminum baseball bat.  [/B]

LOL...just have a 13 and 14 year old as your accomplices and you can probably get away with it!!

When I read the details of that land swap, I had an out of body experience.  I couldn't believe the Florida gov't, namely Jeb, would be that stupid.  They let Anderson Columbia dig a ditch in pristine land in exchange for the state getting a phosphate pit.  So now there will be TWO holes next to the Ichetucknee River.

I predict that the whole area will be nearly uninhabitable in 20 or 30 years when the water table gets fouled.  I'm sure between now and then Anderson Columbia will spill chemicals into the river and kill all of the fish and render the Ichetuknee and Santa Fe unsafe for swimming.  When the spill gets to the Gulf coast, it'll kill the mussels and fish there, too.  But hey, we can always levy fines for compensation, right?

Yep.. the late Patsy Mink was on the ballot for our House of Rep. District 2.  

It's not my district so I didn't really have a say in that.  People in her district wanted to honor her by voting her in the election I guess.  It's a nice gesture, but it means a special election will need to be held end of this month to see who fills the rest of her term, and then another special election in January to vote somone else in.  Not gonna touch that one with a 40 foot pole...
