Damnyankee Carpetbagger

Where I grew up, in the Florida Panhandle, damn and yankee was usually used as a single word. I am using it here to describe that scum sucking, mangy dog that bought the once grand state of Florida. Rare is the day that I don't come across another reason to detest this son of a bitch (my apologies to the females of the dog species).

In his latest act as CEO of Florida Rick (that's rick with a P) Scott vetoed $2 million for citrus disease research. It should be noted that the citrus industry has a huge influence on the Florida economy - 76,000 employees and $9 billion annually. A citrus disease such as canker can have a devastating impact.

What makes Scott's veto that much more odious is his acknowledgement after the veto that he really didn't know shit from Shinola about the citrus industry but that he would get up to speed on it at his first available opportunity.

Get up to speed? After the fact? Scott is making decisions that affect the entire state of Florida without knowing diddly-squat. How the hell did this guy get to be the CEO of anything while being more air-headed than Michele Bachmann?

Never mind, money is the answer.
