Latecomer: what happened to Jeb Bush

[AllyCat]

Okay, I really have been under a rock and just heard about FL Gov. Crist? What happened to good ole' Jeb? Sorry I'm so out of touch!

1. Term limits. n/t

20. are all of those your pets???

:wow:

how do you keep the peace between the cats and the birds?

[CC]

22. Yes though the ones with

halos have crossed the rainbow bridge.
As for the cats and birds they ignore each other. When we first got the Red Lory she escaped her cage and cornered two of the cats attacking them every time they moved. When we got home we had to rescue the cats. WE laughed about it as soon as we knew all involved were ok. I swear those two cats have warned every cat that has come here that birds can hurt. The cats tend to hide upstairs when the birds are out now. Now if the ferrets would quit nipping cat paws making them run so the ferrets can chase them.:rofl:

3. Your avatar is trying to suck my blood.

I have to admit that I, too, was confused about Jeb. Didn't know about the term limits.

I've had as many as 13 cats and one dog, but you've got me beat on weasels (ferrets?).

7. Awww he was just yawning.

There is this thing called ferret math, the weasels will find you once they figure out you will be good to them. BTW I would take 13 weasels over 13 cats because their poos are much much snaller.:rofl: I still love cats though but they hit a max number a lot faster.

17. I have never heard that argument before, but it's impressive.

Do ferrets come for a cuddle?

[CC]

18. Yeah they do, or at least mine do.

Mine are free range (rarely in the cage) and they like to sleep on my feet at night. I have one that likes to sleep across my neck on cold nights. Keeps us both warm.

Why so many people are glad Jeb is gone

By BILL MAXWELL
Published February 4, 2007


I am glad that Jeb Bush is no longer Florida's governor.

Based on what I am reading and hearing, I am not alone. Many other Floridians, even some who supported Jeb, are glad to be rid of him.

One of my friends summed up his and many other people's feelings: "It's nice to be able to take a breath for a change."

I met Jeb and interviewed him for the first time when he ran against Lawton Chiles in 1994 and lost. I met and interviewed him twice when he ran against Buddy MacKay in 1998 and won, at the Liberty City Charter School in Miami, which Bush co-founded with T. Willard Fair, and at the headquarters of the Coalition of Immokalee Workers in Immokalee.

Each interview gave me valuable insight into Jeb. I saw a young, highly intelligent patrician who was full of Republican ideas and ideals. Each time I was with Jeb, I studied his behavior and that of his staff and others around him. I suspected that Jeb would rule with the proverbial iron fist - "my way or the highway," with "fear and trembling."

He did not disappoint.

Jeb's management style has been put in sharp relief as newly elected Republican Gov. Charlie Crist stamps his imprint on Tallahassee politics. Since Crist's ascendancy, headlines across the state have been announcing a "new tone," a "new atmosphere" and a "new day" at the Capitol.

Note this assessment in the Times: "Lawmakers, lobbyists and political observers say a new tone - more cordial, more cooperative, maybe even bipartisan - has emerged in the days following the inauguration of Gov. Charlie Crist and preceding the first legislative session in nine years that won't be dominated by former Gov. Jeb Bush."
