So what’s new in DuhSantistan?

Democratic Party declared dead in Florida ...

 

Whatever the case, Republicans seem determined to vest their deepest hopes in one of the worst-ever presidents ...

Post-Indictment Poll Has Trump Surging to Biggest Lead Ever Over DeSantis

 

I’m the anti-liberal but I can’t disagree with that. Democrats are thoroughly traumatized by Trump’s personality and there are more of them.

 

You’re talking to Florida Man. I love my Florida. And so do increasing millions of Northeasterners.

 

This is great news for Florida's universities:
Survey: 1 In 8 Florida Incoming Freshmen Plan To Flee DeSantis’s Education Policies

Really good job by the idiots running the government.

 

Does it concern you at all that a former president has been indicted ? Or is that unlikely to happen until your ox is being gored ?

 

Framed for reference ...

 

In a First at Flagler School Board, a Parent Pushing Book Bans Justifies Hitler's Book-Burning | FlaglerLive

A little life lesson for the people defending book bans, you never have to hand it to Hitler.

 

Hitler did plenty of things in an exemplary fashion. Ex:
1) Loaded a Luger properly
2) Charged a Luger properly
3) Placed a Luger to his forehead properly
4) Pulled the trigger on the Luger properly

Too bad he didn’t do it 7 years earlier

 

The new Barnes & Noble on Westshore Boulevard in Tampa has a GREAT book display. They set up a table of banned books right next to DeSaster's book. It looks like someone took advantage of the opportunity to spruce up the DeSaster table a bit.

 

Quick question... how are they banned if you can buy them at Barnes & Noble?

 

They can’t beat people back from moving to DeSantisstan.

 

Seriously?

Let's think about all the places we might go to find books, shall we? One such place is called a "library." Library is a really fun word. Can you say "library?" I bet you can. You might be surprised to learn there are more than one type of library. First, there's the type your mom and dad can go to check-out (borrow) books to take home and read or even read them right there. Those are called public libraries. They also have libraries at schools, those are called....yes, very good....school libraries. Another place to find books is at a book store. That's where people can go to buy books to keep forever and ever or give to friends to keep. We're learning a lot here, but learning can be fun.
Some bad people don't want people reading books. Reading books is how we learn and those people don't want you to learn, they want you to stay stupid. So the bad people order the people at the school libraries...we call them "librarians," another super fun word to say, to take those books away and hide them so people can't read them. We call that "book banning" and it doesn't sound very nice does it? That's because it's not. Sometimes all of the copies of the books everywhere are hidden...or even worse, burned. Sometimes you can find those books they hide from you at school at book stores. That's still really bad, they ban the book at your school and make you go find it someplace else where the mean people can't order the book people around.

I hope I have adequately addressed your question.

 

Well, I was just asking the question, and trying to be a little funny at the same time. You know, it's called "humor". Humor, like Library, can be a really fun word too. You should try it sometime instead of being such a SA.

I do not like the idea of book banning. Never have. But I do believe it's worth discussing the possibility of certain books not being in the best interest of young children at school. Still not sure that requires a ban. Now, if their parents have no issue with them reading a specific book, that's one thing. Go to Barnes & Noble and buy the book. Let the parent and child make that decision. For the book to be made available to all in a school library setting, without any sort of consent, that starts to become a little more of an issue for me. I guess it's all a matter of what we generally feel is appropriate for children based on age. Not an easy question to answer, but there are certainly cases of schools pushing the envelope with books that have, what some might consider, questionable content.

 

There’s a lot here, got dropped at 2 o’clock this afternoon and goes to committee at 2 tomorrow.

About five pages in it appears that first time voters can’t vote by mail. Making college students go home to vote? Sounds like the time Rick Scott tried to disallow polling places on campus.

What are they afraid of, hmm?
