Floridians prayed for God's intervention 8 years ago, writes Hiaasen, and "apparently You were preoccupied with more-pressing disasters, and that's OK." But now the state is desperate to atone for putting President Bush in power. It's also weary of "Flori-duh" jokes. So, Lord, if You need to test America again, please throw another state into chaos instead: "God, anywhere but here," pleads Hiaasen. "Amen."

LOL. I wish we could just paint Florida blue to make up for being robbed in 2000 by the three Bush brothers.

It won't be so close that Fla will make all the difference this time.

It's not really called Florida. The real name is God's Waiting Room.

I know...old joke.

If only some dumba** voters would have figured out a simple butterfly ballot. If you're so dumb you can't figure it out, should you be voting?

You are so kind to call the senior citizens of south florida dumb and dumb$$$$. They were confused and frustrated by the Diebold machines that Jeb purchased from his other brother.

You sure you don't mean the simple ballot that the democrat designed?

[SIZE=2][Palm Beach County] Supervisor of Elections Theresa LePore, a Democrat, insisted any confusion was unintentional and defended the layout of the cluttered ballots as necessary to get all the presidential candidates on facing pages while making the type large enough for [elderly] voters to read.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]She also said that if it was so confusing, someone should have pointed it out to her earlier. "We sent out sample ballots to all registered voters, and no one said a word," she said.[/SIZE]
