I just heard Florida governor Rick Scott say – TWICE in a brief live interview – that the single most important thing the state needs right now is everyone’s thoughts and prayers.
Right now I am sick with worry about my friends in Florida, including one in the Panama City area, and my oldest, dearest friend sheltering in the home of a couple he knows in Pinellas County, 20 miles inland from his house on the Gulf Coast. Both of my friends are nonbelievers. I’m sure they take great comfort in knowing the state government has its priorities straight.
I can’t even.
Juan Cole has some excellent advice for Gov. Scott: resign.
He did prohibit state employees from using terms “climate change” or “global warming”. So if you have no science, you get into dark ages.
