Subject: Here We Go AGAIN! (Fla. Politics)
Don't know if any of you have been following the news and if you have I wonder why....Seems that somebody in the election office at Tallahassee (state capital) messed up again. **Shocked silence, looks of disbelief**

Yes friends, the state known worldwide for its hanging chads and major delays of the past presidential election has found yet another way to screw things up. Seems that someone posted the wrong amount for the filing fee for gubenatorial candidates. The figure was $43.20 short! Deadline for filing the missing amount was Friday midnight. NO Problem...send them the additional funds and be done with it, Right?? Enter the next ointment fly....the FedEx plane carrying some of the overdue fees crashes and burns during a landing attempt. (All three crewmen lived) So now the deadline has been extended another twenty four hours.

Now for the BIG QUESTION: How long will it take for some IDIOT arrive at the theory that Candidate X caused the plane crash in an attempt to knock Canditae Y out of the race?

C'mon Florida, get a grip fercrizzakes....We are alredy the laughinstock capital of the world, it's a good thing most of us can laugh at ourselves!
