Every state has fairly developed laws about the level of crime detail they can disclose to journalists.

Every state but Florida, where the rules are much more loose.

So it always seems like the stupid and twisted perps are from Flori-duh.

There are few more funnier threads (other than the old ones about Rachel Corrie) than a Florida Man/Woman story.

CNN is a few years too late if they are just now discovering Florida Man.

I think the latest slow moving wave of Florida Crazy began with the story of the Face Eater on Bath Salts.

No thanks. Googling Florida Man
would be like trying to sip a
drink of water from a fire hydrant.

Hey folks we don’t need CNN or Google to find our humor in Southwest Florida, it is all around us.

Local Punta Gorda man admitted to hospital after being bitten by a Pygmy rattlesnake in his home. He was bitten three times while trying to stab it with barber scissors.

Headlines/front page today, Englewood woman confesses to murder of her wife. She shot her and threw her in the back of her pickup.

Man arrested for grand theft had stolen thousands in jewelry in a home robbery. Pawn Shop manager called the cops when she recognized HER jewelry.

Some say life is boring in a retirement area but it is kind of like living in a People Zoo.
