I think it's unconscionable for a Senator from Massachusetts to come down here and tell the people of Florida what's right for them. It's arrogant and irresponsible.

(The Lights Went Out In) Massachusettes
Feel I'm goin' back to Massachusetts,
Something's telling me I must go home.
And the lights all went out in Massachusetts
The day I left her standing on her own.
Tried to hitch a ride to San Francisco,
Gotta do the things I wanna do.
And the lights all went out in Massachusetts
They brought me back to see my way with you.
Talk about the life in Massachusetts,
Speak about the people I have seen,
And the lights all went out in Massachusetts
And Massachusetts is one place I have seen.
I will remember Massachusetts...

Florida The Sunshine State
Florida The Sunshine State
By Lori Triggs
Copyrighted August 8,2009
Florida mostly sunny all year long
from October to May even in the 70's to 80's.
than end of May to October it rains like to tomorrow and high or mid 90's.
Florida has the most wet land birds with wet land animals
alligators swimming with the cockatiels for the catch of the day,
besides the hawks with eagles and paragons flying in the air to see.
Florida has forests with national forests
where deer are grazing, black bears eating their fish they caught
while the bob cats wait for their brail with the coyotes.
Florida has botanical gardens
where you see beautiful tropical flowers even ponds,
besides butterflies with squirrels and other wildlife.
Florida has sea shores besides the bays
there are Islands that the rich besides the middle class live on,
there is reef all along the bottom of Florida.
Florida people from being in the sun their brains fried
besides being born here making them stupid,
but I say I think all southerners stupid from all the southern states.
Florida 911 asks you the information still does not get it when you give it to them
the police shoot first kill you, ask questions later after your dead,
the emergency medical services works screw up on you or even kill you besides the hospitals.
Florida people here are robbing banks, stores, home invasions and
cars go through houses or stores once or twice a week,
once they need the money the other people will do it, because they can do it.
This is Florida the sunshine state

I reject the notion that a high turnout helps Senator Kerry. I think in Florida at least, it's going to help President Bush because we have gotten more registered voters than the Democrats, and our base is just fired up - thanks to your help and a lot of others.
Senator Martinez is not driven by polls; he is driven by the needs of the state of Florida and its 17 million constituents.

With the recent news that the State of Florida has agreed to purchase 181,000 acres of U.S. Sugar land, we have an historic opportunity for our larger restoration efforts and for the people of Florida. This too will not come without difficult challenges, but it reminds us that anything is possible.

Of Course It Is Unconscionable
Of course it is unconscionable.
Unscrupulous and unreasonable...
To hold those not responsible,
With a blaming of another's wicked deeds.
This they will never accept,
As a high degree of deception.
And historically,
This activity has been unregrettable.
Although can be credited to the doings,
Of those accustomed to the feeding...
Of their self-centered need to see others bleed.
And for this they believe with a worshipping done,
Is their entitlement pursued...
No matter who perceives them to be,
Uncaring as they proceed to protect...
The best of their interests kept,
As an exception never from them to be unglued.
Of course it is unconscionable,
But if those who are conscious follow...
Who is at fault?
If this is what has been presented and bought.

A Swimmer Named Kennedy
When someone is a person of questionable integrity
and they have committed dubious acts in their past
many years of civil service to society and then they suddenly are befallen
with a fatal disease; (other than Liberalism….which is only a mental disorder)
why is it then that we always proceed to elevate
these immoral people to a higher level of respectability?
With no marginal reason ever given for their existence….
In memory of Mary Jo Kopechne (July 26,1940 – July 18,1969)
Who was left by United States Senator Ted Kennedy to drown in his car
after he drove it off of a bridge and into the water below; while intoxicated after a party. Senator Kennedy was married at the time of the accident and did not report the accident until much later that morning.
Senator Kennedy has never to this day claimed any responsibility for his actions.
Senator Kennedy has been recently diagnosed with brain cancer, and that is tragic,
but it doesn’t change his questionable character.

Pupils Slip Up
I have several questions.
For a few months
A radio business channel
In Boston carried
Thrice hourly reports
On the stock market--
The Bloomfield report.
Suddenly it was gone
And replaced by a
Monotonous religious channel.
I couldn't find it
Anywhere on the dial.
Why did that happen?
Massac came from Casamusetts.
Cassam came from Massachusetts.
They tell you that vitamin E,
Grape juice, and aspirin
Thin the blood and
Reduce cholesterol buildup
But if you take two
Or three of these
Substances regularly, do they
Thin it too much,
Causing other, unforeseen
Dangers of an interactive sort?
Massac came from Casamusetts.
Cassam came from Massachusetts.
If all politics is a lie
We tell ourselves, if
People who think they are
Conservative have horrible
Anarchic lives, raping children
And people who think
They are radical, and
Tell you so, typically,
Are repressed, authoritarian, and
Thinly frigid in their
Personal bearings,
Leaving the world on both sides
To be divided up between
Aggressive territorial types
Finding ideological excuses
To kill other people's children--
If all this is patently,
Obviously so, so that
Only poetry, and not
Politics can save us--
Is there any hope for us then?
Massac came from Casamusetts.
Cassam came from Massachusetts.
