What do cerita lucah isteri menghisap batang india yang besarthey all have in common? Florida.
Florida is a melting pot of key lime pie, ten dollar Dasani bottles from Disney World, conch fritters and Lime-a-Ritas. It's where violent crimes committed by humans meet weird animal felonies and where destructive hurricanes meet destructive Jimmy Buffett concerts. Florida is at once the most irrelevant and relevant state.

Relevant to what, you ask? Oh, just the entire future of the country.
Florida is aware of this. That's why Florida is the attention whore of America.
The results of Florida's early votes show that Hillary Clinton has a one point lead over Donald Trump. One point! That's not even a big enough lead to win in tennis, a sport that Floridians love to play on the private courts in retirement communities, so long as they're not prohibited by their physical therapist.

It's where you go in your college years on spring break in order to get a sunburn in the shape of your ill-fitted bathing suit. And finally, as an old old person, ready to die, you spend your final years whacking golf balls into the sun.
If Florida's where we're all headed anyway, then maybe it's not so bad that it loves the attention we're giving it. That said, could we please please please know who won the state NOW pleasepleaseplease?
