Between the two of them, you now know you cannot trust a judge anywhere in the State of Florida!!!!

True, but, FL voters (like those in other states too) will NOT take the time to study the credentials of judicial candidates. Therefore, they just rubberstamp "familiar names" on the ballots. George W. Greer has been on Pinellas or Pasco ballots for some 25 years. So voters just rubberstamp that old reprobate every time he comes up to bat. Sadly, some may actually "believe" in George W. Greer.

Some of you may not know that LA's Secertary of State Fox McKeithen is in very serious condition after a fall Thursday and is on a ventilator His condition has been likened, hopefully prematurely, to that of the late Christopher Reeve.

Baton Rouge News 2 has learned that Secretary of State Fox McKeithen, who remains hospitalized and paralyzed from the neck down, was involved in a single vehicle accident Sunday evening in Brusly.
An incident report from the accident said McKeithen crashed his SUV into a wooden utility poll at the corner of East St. Francis and Highway 1 north at around 7 p.m. The report said McKeithen was dazed from hitting his head on the visor.

Acadian Ambulance received a call nearly a half hour later at 7:36 p.m., but 12 minutes later the call was cancelled.

"To the best of my knowledge he was fine after the accident," said Chief Jamie Whaley of the Brusly Police Department. "He was talking, walking around and he refused any medical treatment."

Whaley said the officer who handled the call did not perform a sobriety test because McKeithen gave no indication of appearing to be intoxicated.

McKeithenls family released a statement Friday afternoon giving the latest information on his injuries.

"It has been determined that Fox McKeithen's spinal column was injured at level C 3-4," the release reads, "and he is currently suffering from paralysis from the neck down. Mr. McKeithen's doctors still do not know whether the paralysis is permanent or temporary."

The release said it would be between 36 to 72 hours before the doctors have a better long term picture.
