He must be a real piece if work. Perhaps he is trying to be another Sheriff Grady Judd in Polk County. Or that Governor in Georgia. This Woods and that Mayor will never get my vote. Evidently they are very controlling. They are also part of the reason Southern states have some unflattering reputations.

And now we are one of the lead stories on CNN.com, along with a large photo of Sheriff Idiot!

Exactly. And one of the reasons why I really didn't want to move to Florida (long story - we're here, and that's that).

We made the morning news today. The Today Show and CBS Morning News. Now Ocala is the laughing stock of the entire country.

Well deserved, I say.

Do you want to fix that? Then encourage intelligent people who believe in science to move to Ocala, and vote for intelligent people who believe in science.

Sadly, we have a lot of low hanging fruit who don't know how to think for themselves and follow the mantra of "Captain Cheetoh" and the political elephants. I will reserve specific names.

I'm not a fan of extremes generally speaking. There are three distinct types of extremely stupid as far as I can tell that pervade the area (and the country, to varying extents):

  • There's the so-called educated, 'pay everyone thousands to stay home forever' crowd.
  • There's the the, 'dis virus is uh hoax st0p im-pigeon-ing on muh freedumz to buy muh beer & gunz' crowd.
  • There's the, 'F dat 'Rona we 'bout tuh get dat stim-uh-liss lemme get a hundrit blunt wraps and some scratch-off lotteries' crowd.
Without getting into the meta-analysis of it all, if you're wondering why we're screwed, the above is why. We literally have a concentrated microcosm of the national abdication of intellectual honesty thriving right here in our proverbial backyard.

We moved to Ocala May 7 2020 and we were the only people wearing masks. Coming from NY to Ocala at the height of the Pandemic in NY and moving to Ocala felt like Disney Land. We were in a surreal film where the people of Ocala were in denial of what was happening. We heard everything from "It is a Democrat Hoax" to " That thang aint never gonna come down here because the heat and light destroys it, and we got heat and light".
