A bill signed by Florida Governor Rick Scott (R) will require welfare applicants to undergo drug testing. The bill also requires that those who apply for welfare must pay for the drug testing out of their own pockets. However, the cost would be reimbursed if the person passes the drug test. Republicans said the measure was needed because if taxpayers are screened at their place of employment, so should welfare recipients. The drug testing bill was a priority for Scott.
“While there are certainly legitimate needs for public assistance, it is unfair for Florida taxpayers to subsidize drug addiction,” Governor Scott said. “This new law will encourage personal accountability and will help to prevent the misuse of tax dollars.”
Don't worry, my liberal friends - A similar law which passed in Michigan in 1999 which required random drug testing of Welfare recipients lasted five weeks before it was stopped by a judge. An appeals court ruled it unconstitutional after a four-year legal battle. So, you can bet that this kind of abomination against the Civil Liberties of welfare crack addicts will be challenged!
BERVARD COUNTY, Fla. -- The Brevard County doctor who was arrested for groping a woman while dressed as Captain America with a burrito in his pants will not go to jail.SLIDESHOWS:Arrested | Booked RAW VIDEO:Capt.

Florida State Senator, Mike Bennett, got caught viewing some porn that was reportedly e-mailed to him by a woman he knows during a Florida state Senate debate:
Sunshine State News reports that it captured video of Sen. Mike Bennett, R-Bradenton, “looking at pornographic material on his state-issued computer on the Senate floor.”…
Bennett, a Republican, claimed that he “was just sitting there, bored as they were debating the abortion bill.”
Finally! A politician I can stand behind! (better to see the screen)
So some 33 year old dude was arrested after inhaling 28 cans of whipped cream at a Wal-Mart in Florida, it was reported.
Dude was observed by a loss prevention officer picking up, opening and sniffing the seven-ounce cans of whip cream, according to the arrest report.
Each can contained nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, and when inhaled will "induce a condition of intoxication." He was arrested for inhalation of harmful substance. It's almost worth hitting the comments below just to read about what a shocking surprise that canned whip-it can get you high.
Only in Florida can you have a license plate that violates the separation of Church and State - and have a legislature that approves license plate designs without even LOOKING at before approving it.
Sen. Gary Siplin, D-Orlando, made it onto a bill Friday even though many members had not seen images of those plates and none was produced for the debate.
Siplin didn't mince words when asked what his "Trinity" plate looks like, saying, "It has a picture of my Lord and savior Jesus Christ." It, along with a "Preserving the Past" plate offered by Siplin, would benefit the Toomey Foundation for the Natural Sciences.
So if your state is approving license plates without visual approval beforehand, I think there's a photoshop contest in there somewhere.
How about this - Submit your license plate design!
Florida might just give Hill Dog a new reason to live through the March 4th Primary!My Source (pops out a new window) Florida Governor Charlie Crist said he'd support a repeat of the Democratic presidential primary so the state's delegates can be counted at the party's national convention.
DNC ChairmanHoward Dean said he's open to the possibility. Primary elections are paid for by a state's taxpayers, so the offer from Crist, a Republican, [my emphisas] is "very helpful'' because money is an issue, Dean said.
If you can't read between the lines here, this is a master stroke on the part of the Republicans, and specifically Gov. Crist. Here's my take on this:
HillDog will take Florida because of the ex-old-New Yonkers crowd, and the pure fact that since she has the old ladies over 65 wrapped up nationally, and there are more old ladies in Florida - she'll take the state, or by DNC terms, enough to keep fighting into the Convention.
And in the classic case of Vizzini logic, they have to fall into the trap...
You're trying to trick me into giving away something. It won't work.
Vizzini:IT HAS WORKED! YOU'VE GIVEN EVERYTHING AWAY! I KNOW WHERE THE POISON IS! What in the world is that?!
The DNC can't refuse the offer or it will disenfranchise the very same voters that they vociferously demanded every vote be counted in 2000!
On top of this, Florida is such a critical swing state for the general election that they cannot risk continuing to piss off Florida voters!
The only snag in "perfect game theory" here is that it's not a "here's Hillary's votes." Instead, it's a "well, let's try that again - do-over - kind of situation." The joke can be "there are no do-overs, unless your name is Clinton..."
Can't top that gag - so grab some popcorn, let's see how this pans out!
