I awoke to a beautiful, sunny, albeit colder than a beldame's breast, kind of morning. With my coffee and morning edition of the St. Pete Times in hand, I climbed back into my warm bed with a desire to become erudite on current events.
Be still my beating heart! There in the Tampa Bay section I read that Florida's most vexing problems have been solved and that the state is now a virtual utopia. Property and homeowners taxes have been reduced to manageable levels, there are now jobs aplenty, developers have agreed not to pave over the state, foreclosures are a thing of the past, healthcare is affordable for all, and there is money to burn for the state budget.
You missed all of that, you say? It was right there on page 1B with the headline in bold print, Storms slams sock rule. You may have to do a little between-the-lines reading, but I swear it was all there. Florida State Senator Ronda Storms, R-Ditz, having helped solve all of Florida's ills, has turned her attention to a most pressing issue: the Public Transportation Commission rule that cabdrivers must wear socks. Said Storms, "They have a rule that cabbies have to wear socks. I mean, please. Come on."
Yeah, really Ronda, come on!
We can only hope that when Florida Goobernor-elect Scott takes over the office he bought that he will offer Storms one of those 700,000 jobs he plans on creating. She obviously has nothing much to do in her current position.
