Florida Math

It's tough on Fridays to find the corn nugget in the pile of proverbial shit. Sometimes I have to take what is offered without getting too uptight about how relevant said topic or subject may be. That said, some kinds of stupid cannot be ignored. That special sort of dumb is too easy, too fragile and is one of those cats that has been lapped but still believes they are winning the race. God bless the idiots of this world, without which life would be less entertaining.

In case you haven't heard there is a tenuous trial being held in Florida for this woman who killed, allegedly, her toddler kid and threw the body in the woods. The Casey Anthony trial is being billed as the largest event of its kind since the OJ Simpson disaster of the early nineties. The only reason anybody remembers that piece of shit made for TV trial is because the dude was found NOT GUILTY, when everybody but the jury members knew the dude was a liar. Yet he walked. But stupid abides - and several years later OJ sits in a Nevada prison for threatening some sports memorabilia hack. Karma is nothing more than coincidence mixed with irony.

So back to Florida, where the locals line up every morning to get into the trial. Why? Perhaps to say they were there? Maybe it's to blog about it and sell some semblance of the story? Maybe it's just because people are fucking stupid, which at least some of these cats are. The rules are simple, the first 50 members of the public get in. When there is 100 people in the line, well anybody outside of Florida with a 3rd grade education can do this simple equation. Shit, this isn't even long division.

It gets better though. Someone toward the rear of the line, let's say person number 78 for the sake of this argument, has some asshole cut in line. Then, you guessed it, a fight breaks out. Well maybe not a proper fight but a scuffle with lots of pushing and shoving.

I have to ask why? What are they fighting over? Battle for last place? Who doesn't get the prize? What the fuck is wrong with these people? 51 is the same as dead fucking last in this line."No I want to be more insignificant than you". Like I said, a special kind of stupid.....

The Florida public school system is ranked 8th nationally, which either says a shitload for the ranking system or absolutely nothing for the states which ranked ahead of 8th place. Way to go Florida, we are all dumber for the experience and this trial is nowhere near done.

When I take 50 from 100 and the answer is anything other than 50, it's time to head to Florida for my hospice care. I like being the smartest cat in the room.
