Not chatty, Not Rick

Not much rolling around in the cranium today.  I am picking up the dogs for yet another extended visit as Ali is once again going to be out of town for several days.  Of course they will have fun out at the homestead.

Today I will be able walk next door and do early voting.  The big race this year is the Florida governor race where Rick Scott, who rivals Dick Cheyney as one the most disliked politicians I have ever seen, tries to pull the wool over voters eyes once again.  Rick has once again dipped into his personal fortune to jam all imaginable media outlets with as much Charlie Crist smear campaigning as possible.  This effort is mostly to sway the minds of people that do very little “big picture” thinking.

Scott is about as slimy as a politician can be, the idea that he even has a snowballs chance in hell of getting reelected is disturbing.  To me, he represents everything that is wrong with American politics, where all you need is a fat enough wallet to cut to the front of the line.     If you sat through the last two debates, watching Scott awkwardly stammer, stutter and repeatedly avoid answering questions and still vote for the man, I may suggest you get tested for mild retardation, really.

The other big ballot item is the legalization of medical marijuana in Florida which of course I support.  If you support medical marijuana and still vote for Scott you may as well not even waste the effort coloring in YES for the amendment as Scott will never let it see the light of day.
