And next, we will somehow, someway, end up with Janet Reno in charge. Then I move.

When I lived in Miami, we use to say that it was if all the screws and nuts that shook loose from the US settled in that pocket known as S. Florida.

The assertion made in the title of this post is true in a very real sense. Florida's insurance commissioner and legislature have hamstrung bail bondsmen across the nation with regard to apprehending out-of-state bail jumpers who wisely have sought refuge in the Sunshine State.

Only Florida-licensed bondsmen, many of who are aging or aged, are allowed to effect the apprehension of skips who end up in their state. And Florida-based bounty hunters, who are relatively few in number, must operate alongside of said Florida bondsmen.

Indeed, an out-of-state recovery agent can be arrested for even identifying himself as such.

These South Florida people can speak for themselves.

The real Florida still lives North of Orlando.

When I read or hear of some event which took place in Miami, it is as distant and foreign to me as if it happened in London or Los Angeles. Pensacola and Miami are not only different in morality and lifestyle, they are as far apart by land as Chicago is from New York.

They are even farther apart in politics than they are in distance.

Hmmmmm.......interesting to consider that the shenanigans in Florida nearly put Al Gore in the White House.

You can thank "diversity." "It's our strength."

Anything or anybody can show up here these days and nobody will notice. There is no "norm."

Maybe the terrorists leadership lives in Florida. Someone had to keep these killers on track. Seems logical to me.
