Jebster digs up the dead.

News from the dumbshine state:

I know this is old news but I just wanted to get my licks in on the Jebster. (That’s what we used to call Jeb Bush when I was living there.) The Governor feels the Schiavo case needs to be reopened because there’s “new evidence,” which he won’t reveal, that an investigation should be opened into why Michael Schiavo took so long to call 911 when his wife collapsed and went into a coma. On Larry King two years ago Schiavo appeared to contradict a statement he had made to the police 15 years ago and it appears there is a 70-minute gap some how or other, so the Governor is calling out Torquemata.

Make no mistake, this has absolutely nothing to do with the autopsy that showed Terry Schiavo’s brain was half the size it should have been and she was blind to boot, which was very embarrassing to jackasses such as senator and doctor Tom Coburn(R. Oklahoma.) who made his diagnosis of Terry Schiavo before she died: “All you have to do is look at her on T.V. Any doctor with any conscience can look at her and know that she does not have a terminal disease and know that she has some function.” Perhaps the senator should stick to what he knows best, sterilizing under age girls.

In any case, even Jeb’s republican supporters are mortified by this new twist in the Schiavo case, but I say give them enough rope. Perhaps a little trip in the way-back-machine might better explain the insanity that reigns in Florida:

Back in the 18th century, Florida was divided into two states under the Spanish, east and west Florida. After the seven years war, which some historians consider the actual 1st world war, Spain lost and England traded Barbados for Canada and the Floridas in the peace of 1763 with France. English public opinion at the time wasn’t thrilled with the trade.

I quote from “The Origins of the American Revolution,” by John C. Miller, 1933:

“The Floridas, taken from Spain in 1763, were regarded as a waste of swamp and sand, which, groaned an Englishman, would be “the dwelling of desperate villains” and the chief product of the country seemed likely to be “disease and lamentation.”

So, you can see, nothing much has changed much since then. Nowadays, the approximate dwelling of the desperate villain is in Tallahassee.
