Okay, I am establishing a new category, which I am calling Planet Florida (genius, non?).

Not for nothing does the rest of the country look on Florida as the home of eccentrics, weirdos and old folk. The see us (that’s you and me) as deeply alien. Like Tusken Raiders. Or the Borg. We in North Florida are insulated to a point, from the worst of the craziness, but it seeps in sometimes. Last night, for example, we had a crazy ol’lady who lives near us dodge the claymores and fixed line machine guns that protect Bones’ Hideout and accuse me of reporting her to ‘The Government”. For what was never established. I advised her to sling her hook before I set the dogs on her. Nicely, of course. She’s old and clearly “from Florida”.

Anyway, to ease us in to the craziness, CCTV footage has emerged that shows some cops conducting a drug raid in Polk County. Tampa Bay Online sets the scene:

With guns drawn and flashlights cutting through darkened rooms, Polk County undercover drug investigators stormed the home of convicted drug dealer Michael Difalco near Lakeland in March…..

Then the cops stop everything and set about a nine hour bowling session with the suspect’s Nintendo Wii:

I know. It’s awesome. Take me to you leader.
