The Florida Madhouse

City to fire official seeking sex-change operation
“This little thing has made Largo the laughingstock of the whole country,” resident Jimmy Dean told commissioners. “It’s a disgrace.”

Yes, you are not dreaming. And yes, it is a disgrace.

First we have a female judge in Germany approving of domestic violence—as long as you live by the Koran:
“But your honor—I only beat her up because she didn’t follow the Koran.”
Can it be any dumber?

Apparently it can!
At least in Largo, FL.


Stanton had a solid reputation as a forceful and energetic leader in his 14 years on the job, which he had planned to keep as he went through the gender reassignment process.
Let me get this straight—he is on the job for 14! years, performs well and still, that isn’t good enough.

Local TV stations showed a lot of the public hearings. People saying that their parents turn in their graves over this sex-change. See, they got it all wrong—their parents are not turning in their graves over the sex change but the superficiality and outrageous ignorance of their own children.

Shouldn’t Stanton be allowed to live his life by his terms—as long as it is legal? Shouldn’t Stanton be allowed to prove that his gender does not matter for his and later her performance?

What’s next—firing someone because he got drunk at BWI?

Shame on you Largo.
Shame on Largo’s citizen.

Naming them today’s worst person of the world is a compliment they do not deserve.
