According to the Associated Press, Florida is the most quirky place in America.
This should come as no surprise to anyone who lives here. When writers from San Francisco get a plane to Florida to write about sexual aberrations, you know something is up.
And that was in the late 1990s. Chuck Shepherd, a legend in discovering "the strange" claims Florida stole the title from California over a decade ago. That's incredible.
When a writer who focuses on abstract news, says he has all the news in the world right here in the sunshine state, I will listen. And so did most of America.
He partially blames the 2000 election for the true start to this trend of insanity here in the state of Orange Groves, Sugar Cane, and Florida Gator stickers.
Shepherd isn't the only one who thinks our state is full of insanity. The Associate Press analyzed their stories from the past decade and reached the same conclusion.
Even websites like Gawker.com and Fark.com which focus on news of the strange, have made our state a punchline. But fret not, fellow dwellers of south. We have something none of those other states have.
Class.
We take this abuse with stride and in humor. Plus...realistically, we are all to blame. Look around you. I'm sure you can identify at least 4 or 5 people who should be in a padded room, yet have keys to a car or heavy machinery.
