Why do I mention this you may ask? Well, after the war I saw those damn-yankee carpetbaggers invading the South with no plan except raping the land for their individual gain and there in the midst of the carnage I could have sworn that I saw a prick with ears. Yes, I did, it looked like none other than Florida's Republican goobernatorial candidate Rick Scott (R - Florida? Where is it...I'll buy it).
Common sense told me that I couldn't have seen Scott in the movie because he hadn't even been spawned back in 1939. Suddenly, my conspiracy theory gene sprung to life and like any good mentally challenged Glenn Beck-er (do I detect a redundancy here or what) I knew for a "fact" that since Scott can buy Florida he certainly could afford to have himself Photoshopped into the movie.
It had to have been Scott because the first thing his character did was to fire a whole shit load (official unit of Southern measurement) of the remaining Southern government workers and wipe out another shit load, supra, of Southern government agencies in spite of all the already unemployed people just milling about with diseases, missing body parts and no health care coverage.
What a freakin' nightmare! I had to get myself a beer to steady my nerves and remind myself that this was just a movie and any similarities between the movie characters and real people, living or dead, was purely coincidental.
Oh, really?
So then it's not true that Scott wants to eliminate government jobs and agencies here in Florida to save money even though Florida is dead last in the nation in the ratio of government employees to residents, and the lowest in payroll expenditures? That is great news because even with all of his bucks it might be difficult for Scott to get Florida much lower than "dead last."
Difficult, but not impossible.
Come on Alex, let's get to work and ride this jerk out of state on a rail. At this point, tar and feathers is optional.
