And now I'm so sick
Today is a very bleak day in Florida. Today we have the lightbulb for a Governor. The man that will destroy this state for years to come. Thanks a lot Tea-Baggers. You really picked a winner there. He can't even get through a stupid speech - a speech that is right in front of him on one of those tele-prompters. I am just so sick right now. I'm changing the channel before I really lose it.

Good luck Florida - we're gonna need it!!

4. I haven't been this depressed in years
It was right there and people ignored it. What the F-ck happened to this once glorious state?? I swear it is time to secede down here in South Florida

6. That's a head-scratcher too
She looked like a bumbling fool.

She pulled a Rick Scott, she decided to not talk to the media. That may have worked for her just like it did the dim bulb here in Florida

7. Now is the time to lean heavily upon your state legislators. Stay in communication with them.
Try, as best you can, to influence them. The dark forces count on despair, resignation and cynicism as an important part of their strategy to kill off democracy. We can't let the win! Informed participation is vital. If enough people contact their legislators, an ignorant, beholden governor can be thwarted!

8. Well that won't help here
We have nothing but Repukes in Tallahassee now. Even more than before. People in this state baffle me. The state has been run by Repukes for decades and now they gave them more power. They got this state in the mess it's in

13. I never let that stop me from communicating with them. If the only people they ever talk to are the
people who agree with them, there is no hope.

11. Close your eyes and think of Jerry Brown
California isn't what it used to be. Orchards and fields. But we still have something, if Jerry Brown is back.

Maybe something good he does will actually register and rub off on the MacNugget-for-IQ voters of America.

29. I'm thrilled to have him back. Bye bye Arnie. You could redeem yourself a bit if you told 
us about those Cheney secret energy meetings, but I know you
won't.

19. Here in CT
we get to inaugurate our first Dem Governor in more than 20 years. We also welcome Richard Blumenthal and the entire Dem Representative group from 2008 back to congress.

Now all we have to do is boot holy Joe Lieberman the hell out in 2012 and I will be happy.

25. Or, as I call her, "Sarah, Jr."
She is also known here as "Sanford in a Skirt", so yeah, same-ole same-ole. As I have said numerous times, I just hope she follows her friend Grifterella's example and quits after two years.
