They Are Crazy in Florida!

My third installment of "They Are Crazy in Florida!"

OCALA, Fla. -- Two boys, ages 9 and 10, were charged with felonies and taken away from school in handcuffs, accused of making violent drawings of stick figures.

The special education students used pencil and red crayon to draw primitive stick figure scenes on scrap paper... (emphasis mine).

Ocala police said they stand behind the decision to arrest the children.

"When an adult or even myself look at the picture looked at it at first I was thinking there is really not much to the picture or I would not be that scared by the picture those children drew," Ocala police spokesman Russ Kearn said.

I don't get it. I really don't. Will there ever be any end to this insanity?

They Are Crazy in Florida!!

Illegal use of computer by deputy alleged

TAMPA, Fla. -- A sheriff's deputy was charged Thursday with using a police computer to track a friend's former lover and her new boyfriend before attacks were carried out against the couple. Deputy Charles Maye, 50, allegedly used his access to the National Crime Information Center's database to help Leroy Collins, 79, track down James McLemore, the new boyfriend of Collins' former girlfriend. Prosecutors say he also used the computer to find the former girlfriend's address.

McLemore was shot five times in the head in 1996 as he left a nightclub. Less than three months later, the girlfriend, Linda Bobo, was blinded when someone threw a chemical in her face as she left the same club. No one has been arrested in either attack."

There you have it boys. If in Florida, make sure your new girls X isn't friends with the law, else you'll soon be dead and she'll be blind.

A Conservative Answer to Michael Moore

A Conservative Answer to Michael Moore - January 21, 2005 - The New York Sun: "A Conservative Answer to Michael Moore"
Mr. Maloney works out of Starbucks or his tidy one-bedroom apartment. He has 100 hours of footage stored in what is called a Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks - a data-protection device that costs more than some cars. He edits raw footage with Apple Final Cut Pro software, using an Apple Power Mac Dual G5.

Now that's what I'm talking about!

Something Fierce

They Are Crazy in Florida!!

Today I bring you my first installment of "They Are Crazy in Florida!"

Yahoo! News - Woman Gets 20 Years for Poisoning Boss
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - A woman received a 20-year prison sentence Thursday for putting rat poison in her boss' soda to cover up the fact that she was stealing his money.

And then...
In May, a state appeals court overturned the poisoning conviction because "attempted poisoning" is not a specific crime under Florida law.

Someday Maybe...

I want to tell him how his baby blue eyes make me melt and that is probably why I have a hard time making eye contact with him because I will pass out. Also I want to tell him how it wouldn’t be the same without him here and how I miss it when I am not with him. How he is funny, handsome, intelligent, arty, witty, goofy, respectful, gentle, passionate, professional and many more things.

Somday, maybe, a girl will feel that way about me.
