3. So what do I do when someone asks, "Where are you from?"?

Ah...er...um...somewhere near Washington?

5. Speaking of governors

Didn't Jeb Bush announce a budget deficit after being reelected?

[camero]

8. Yeah, $1.4 Billion

Which was done away by massive budget cuts. And the $1 Billion he got from his brother gets put in a rainy day fund for next year.

Talk about cynicism.

6. Aw, that's too bad!

I was there just once, but I really liked it. What are they going to do, put up a Wal-Mart or just give it to Halliburton on another no-bid contract?

[camero]

7. What? You mean I can't go home?

Man. It's a bummer to be stuck in Florida.

Maybe some good could come out of this. Like helping to dethrone the Bushies.

It's a good laugh because I'm really homesick.
