Taste it, Governor

So Gov. Rick Scott’s board of environmental regulators approved dumping poisons and carcinogens into our drinking water. Using smoke and mirrors and fuzzy math, they were able to say, “Hey, we are so behind the times with our dumping!”

I don’t care who you are, my momma told me never to drink poisons — it’s just not smart.

I propose that, on a trial basis of some yet to be determined time, this new cocktail be served exclusively to Scott and his yes men. Then they could go for a brisk swim in FPL’s cooling canals. Then, and only then, could this potent mixture be served to Florida and its fish and wildlife.
