"My" State Senator is an Idiot

Last year, the idiot got caught on video slapping a constituent for no longer wanting a "Keith Perry for State Senate" sign in his yard.

Now the idiot wants to re-name a section of 13th Street in Gainesville "Tom Petty Memorial Highway."

I'm a big Tom Petty fan.

And of course Petty is a Favorite Son here in Gainesville.

But I'm guessing that even Petty would oppose re-naming "Martin Luther King Jr. Highway" after himself.

Idiot.

A Halloween Treat: @Walmart's Creepy Customer Tracking Smarm

Yes, I know that when I go to a web site and look at stuff, I'm almost certainly being tracked by the site or by the advertising service, or by both, plus presumably by the NSA and all sorts of other nefarious characters. And the people trying to sell me the stuff I'm looking at, or stuff like it, will want to follow up by showing me targeted ads or sending me emails about the same or similar products.

But really, Walmart, sending me email with the subject line "Caught ya lookin’ 😉" is NOT the way to make me feel all warm, fuzzy, and comfortable with shopping at Walmart.com.
