MY STUPID STATE SERIES (2011-2015)

This series is where I document what happens when a state full of Democrats elect a veto-proof, right-wing legislature along with a teabag, criminal governor to lead us. (Once again, yes--an actual bona-fide criminal who literally stole from seniors, who subsequently elected him.) This is my documentation of my beloved but idiotic state's slow descent into chaos.

This is our state. It is blessed with many natural gifts, but its people determine its fate. Florida does NOT need to be like this.
