Living in Florida is, how do I put this, interesting. On the one hand, I am 45 minutes away from the beach (Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean), I have access to tons of lakes, and there are tons of Latinos (my people!). On the other hand, you have Casey Anthony, the astronaut lady that drove for over 24 hours with an adult diaper on, and Rick Scott.
Rick Scott, our esteemed governor, has a 29% approval rating. He’s been in office for less than a year, and in his short tenure has cost the state over 100,000 jobs, high-speed rail funding, and any attempt to rein in urban sprawl.
Since Mr. Scott is so unpopular, I guess he’s been feeling lonely and unloved. So what did he do? He posted a letter on his website that you can copy/paste and send to the editors of your major (or hometown) newspapers, telling them what a swell guy Rick is.
This drew the attention of one Stephen Colbert, who, in a brilliant move, is starting his own letter-writing campaign, giving his viewers a Mad Libs-style form letter about Mr. Scott that they can send to newspapers.
I plan to just lean back and enjoy the show. And maybe, just maybe, send out a letter from John Smith. Guess which kind I will choose to mail?
