No Trains — Boats!
“No high-speed trains!” Scott said with a glower.
The state supreme court said, “Yep, it’s in his power.”
Then wily Gov. Scott
Reached his hand in the pot
And gave Miami 77 million to dredge its port lower.

Huckabee Is the One Distorting the Facts of Single Motherhood
Fundamentalist Republican candidate for president Mike Huckabee said, “Most single moms are very poor, uneducated, can’t get a job, and if it weren’t for government assistance, their kids would be starving to death and would not get health care.”
Facts:
- 79.5% of custodial single mothers are employed
- 27% of custodial single mothers and their children live in poverty; the other 73% do not
- 22% receive Medicaid; 78% do not
- 23.5% receive food stamps; 76.5% do not
- 12% receive some form of public housing or rent subsidy; 88% do not
Huckabee Hypocrisy: Unctuously Forgave Palin’s Underage, Unwed Pregnant Daughter in 2008
On Friday, he created yet more controversy by casting judgment on Oscar-winner Natalie Portman, 29, because of her out-of-wedlock pregnancy:
HUCKABEE in 2011: One of the most troubling things is that people see a Natalie Portman or some other Hollywood starlet that boasts of, hey look, we’re having children, we’re not married, but we’re having children and they’re doing just fine.
There aren’t really a lot of single moms out there that are making millions of dollars each year by being in a movie.
I think it gives a distorted image that not everybody hires nannies and caretakers and nurses. Most single moms are very poor, uneducated, can’t get a job, and if it weren’t for government assistance, their kids would be starving to death and would not get health care.
Got that? Presumably liberal Hollywood actresses who get pregnant of wedlock, even though they are engaged to marry the baby’s father, as Portman is, are a corrupting influence on America’s youth.
