Brain sucking wind twinin', hummin' funkenstain

Just checking in quickly from my vacation to point out that John Mica, my Gerrymandered congressman, is a schmuck, a liar and a fool.

Look, it's no surprise that I have policy disagreements with John Mica. But I expect at least a small amount of honesty and decency from my Congressman. I have not voted for the man, but I have defended him on a number of issues, influenced in part by what I perceived as intellectual honesty on the issue of high speed rail.

The reality, however, is that Mica doesn't deserve that graciousness. His support of rail is obviously and simply local politics, because the man has no decency or intellectual honesty. He endorses some of the most vile and obvious lies about some of the most important issues people will face in their lives, just to curry favor and votes from the extremists, helping to conjure up blind and ignorant hatred that is undoubtedly going to lead to violence and which is splitting the country at its seams. And for what? To prevent people from having a basic level of health security? No, that's just a casualty in his political game. Consequences don't matter, other than vote getting and stirring the pot.

Schmuck.
