Home of the hanging chad and dinner at 4:30pm

Only in Florida could people screw up a paper ballot. I guess the old folks aren't strong enough to punch a piece of paper. Yet they drive....
The hilarious website http://www.fark.com/ brings together real news stories about "morons, psychopaths, and mental defectives" (of all ages) from all over the world. They're tagged with different descriptive terms such as Ironic, Sad, Strange, etc. But only one state has enough of these knuckle-dragging mouth breathers to warrant it's own tag. That's right kids...Florida. When you see the Florida tag...look out. Much like when you see a Crown Vic with Florida plates. They're usually doing about 35 MPH in the left lane with the turn signal on. Anyway, here's a perfect example. I saw this story's headline and said "I bet this is in Florida". I was right, and here it is, presented with a silent prayer that this dingleberry doesn't vote. She'd probably screw it up anyway.

FORT PIERCE, Fla. – A woman decided to go to jail rather than pay her bill at a Fort Pierce Waffle House restaurant. The total she went to jail over: $7.45. According to a police report, Maryanne O'Neill, 66, ordered coffee and a sandwich at a Waffle House restaurant on Saturday but refused to pay the bill.
The report said an officer asked her to pay or go to jail and she refused.
A jail official said she was released Monday from the St. Lucie County Jail. She was charged with obtaining food or lodging with intent to defraud, a second degree misdemeanor. If convicted of a second degree misdemeanor she could face up to 60 days in jail and a fine of $500.
