In a recent letter to the editor published in the St. Pete Times the writer issued a challenge to Florida governor-wanna-be McCollum, and I paraphrase: If you have a plan for creating jobs in Florida, why wait until you are elected? Do it now! You are the Attorney General. You must have some clout, so put your plan into action.
I think the same challenge should be taken up by Rick Scott (R - damn yankee Carpetbagger) and Jeff Greene (D - damn yankee Carpetbagger). Both of these guys have been annoying the crap out of us with their TV ads claiming that they know the secret to creating jobs. So, dammit, create a few right now. Show us that you are not full of mierda del toro (an official measurement of Florida politics). Why, he asks naively, must we elect any of these clowns just to see if they were lying through their teeth or not?
And, speaking of lying through ones teeth: Greene claims he can't remember whether he was on his boat in Cuba or not, nor can he seem to remember whether he voted for Reagan or Carter. Somehow I am reminded of a Federal Grand Jury hearing some years ago when, after 15 frustrating minutes spent interrogating a witness, the Federal Prosecutor blurted out, "Sir, you are either a liar or just plain stupid!" Julia apologized for her outburst, but we jurors applauded her.
But, I digress. For Scott and Greene, I would like to see some of their millions going toward job creation today instead of having to endure more of their empty promises for tomorrow. That's how I feel on a good day. Normally, I would just like to see them ridden out of state on a rail (a fine old Southern remedy for folks coming down here and telling us this is how they did "it" up north). I decided against "tar and feathers" as I understand that could be disfiguring or fatal and obviously not very neighborly.
I really am not one of those "the South will rise again" traditionalists, so to be perfectly fair (relatively speaking) I would demand that all seekers of public office to put up, or shut up and sit down. If you have a plan, implement it now. That might ensure you getting elected.
What a novelty: action instead of hot air!
