Bite Me!  We in Brevard County, can count with all our appendages
unexposed, and know the diff between pregnant, dimpled, and swinging
chads, as well as being able to devine whom someone may have wanted to
vote for even if they didn't vote at all!  We northern Floridians
(officially starts at a line where most folks speak English) can't
understand why all those dual citizenship folks down there are having
such a problem, and resent the implication that the entire state is
befuddled, oh er....what was I saying......?
