Being alive and awake in Florida today requires either eyes in the back of your head or an ability to ignore much of what is happening around you. Our wonderful governor/presidential asspirant (sic) seems to have lost temporarily the services of one of his most loyal and long-term minions. Longtime friend Kent Stermon has died by “apparent suicide” while under investigation for crimes unmentioned (allegations of sexual misconduct have swirled in these circles, just saying) and no link to other Florida stalwarts like Matt Gaetz are yet noted. Any can of worms that can be opened close enough for our state’s leadership to smell is a valuable use of a can opener. Of course, the tRumpier MAGAts will probably be equally delighted that their rival emeritus is getting thrown an anchor. But they are just following a long line of hypocrites, liars, right-wing religious fanatics and other denizens of the Texas Motel.
