My take as neither a Repub nor Dem...

 

We need to stop paying our "lawmakers" so much. They waste too much time and money on stupid schtuff.

Florida.

 

I understand the reduced mental capacity of all of the senile seniors who migrate down there to retire, but what's the excuse for the rest of the state's population?

but what's the excuse for the rest of the state's population?

 

 

A state legislator whose district is home to thousands of Caribbean immigrants wants to ban the term "illegal alien" from the state's official documents.

 

"I personally find the word 'alien' offensive when applied to individuals, especially to children," said Sen. Frederica Wilson, D-Miami. "An alien to me is someone from out of space."

 

She has introduced a bill providing that: "A state agency or official may not use the term 'illegal alien' in an official document of the state." There would be no penalty for using the words.

 

Before bashing the state's entire population, I respectfully suggest considering the source of this legislation:

My opinion of the state of FL's residents was made long before this story. Actually, it was made as a result of a culmination of stories. You see, I used to work w/this guy who's family is from FL and we'd have this running gag about how such a large percentage of those WTF type stories are from FL.

Now it all makes sense.

Nice hat.

 

"Undocumented immigrant" as opposed to "illegal alien"? Why is she even worried what they think? They can't vote.

[Recidivist 1]

Nice hat.

 

I was kind of disappointed as that one is pretty understated for her tastes. It's the best I could do on short notice.

Not if Senator Wilson can help it

They can add "rational female" to the legislation if they want.

Perhaps it's the space aliens that should be offended then?
