Right In Florida

Motto: This is what happens when Insanity and Banality come together.

Name:
Location: North Central Florida, United States

I'm an aging boomer, white male (cue scary music); not religious, mostly conservative. Married to the same woman forever. No kids-by choice (I believe in personal choice in most areas of life). Voted mostly Republican until November 2000 when the national Democrats tried to steal the election in Florida. I promised to never again vote for another Democrat; kept that promise to date.

And in other Florida news

Florida's terrorist: "A lengthy terrorism conspiracy case in which the government failed to win a conviction is drawing to a close, with a former college professor likely to soon walk out of a jail cell - and straight into deportation. Sami Al-Arian, a former University of South Florida computer engineering professor, is expected to be sentenced today for his April 14 guilty plea to one count of providing support to members of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the terrorist group responsible for hundreds of deaths in Israel and the Palestinian territories."

Comment: We have such weak minded people on Florida juries (we import them from other states) that they couldn't convict this terrorist.

Rush walks: "After three years under suspicion, Rush Limbaugh can finally put behind him the investigation that exposed the conservative commentator's own drug problems, thrusting him into the spotlight for the very things he derided in others."

Comment: This is a good thing. A Democrat prosecutor tried to destroy an entertainer by using his high office for overt partisanship. Rush was guilty, but so what? And what was the crime?

UPDATE
LGF has a good post on Sami. I really like one poster's comment: "The jury may have been lost and befuddled, but the judge clearly was not." By the way, Sami was sentenced to 57 months, which means he'll be in the pen for another 19 months, then he'll be deported.
