Seriously, what the hell is going on with Florida? Sure, it has one or two things going for it, but otherwise it is scaring the hell out of me.

Ok, so there is DisneyWorld. I loved Disney as a kid, but have become waaaaay disenchanted. These guys are bad news.

There was the "election".

There have been all of the child welfare problems.

Now?

The man named Thursday by Gov. Jeb Bush to head Florida's notoriously inept child welfare agency is an evangelical Christian who views spanking that causes ''bruises or welts'' as acceptable punishment.

There is little, if anything that could induce me to visit that state. Nope, sorry. Argh.
