Have you ever seen a Cloud Tsunami, they are beautiful.

This is first time I have ever seen anything like it,, What I would give to up in a Helicopter and take some great shots like the one below..

By Natalia Jimenez, msnbc.com

Helicopter pilot Mike Schaeffer was wrapping up a tour when he spotted this incredible weather phenomenon along the coast of Panama City Beach, Fl. on Sunday. As soon as he landed, he alerted Panhandle Helicopter owner JR Hott of the "cloud form waves," and together they went up for a better view. They moved quickly knowing that it is only in very specific weather conditions that this beautiful effect occurs. While the online community has dubbed this a "cloud tsunami," Hott disagrees with the popular moniker:

I wouldn't call it a "cloud tsunami." The term tsunami implies a natural disaster. The event, while it can form quickly, moves gently and slowly. It isn't something that happens with more than a gentle breeze.

Here I thought see was joking.. Not, Dwarf-Tossing Stimulus Bill in FL

here is the link to the piece,

A Florida lawmaker has made headlines around the nation for his proposal to repeal a job destroying regulation in his state, namely the 1989 ban on “dwarf-tossing.”

Republican state Rep. Ritch Workman introduced HB 4063 on Monday. The legislation would repeal provisions against the “exploitation of persons with dwarfism.”

It would allow bars and taverns in the state to hire people with dwarfism, wrap them in velcro or protective padding, and throw them around for the amusement of their customers.

“I’m on a quest to seek and destroy unnecessary burdens on the freedom and liberties of people,” Workman told The Palm Beach Post. “This is an example of Big Brother government.

Sorry I just can’t.. This is wrong on so many levels.. However, how would this help to create jobs.. Really???

However the Former President of the LPOA, had this to say,

Van Etten, said the crude practice exploited people with dwarfism, particularly alcoholics with low self-esteem. Because of specific health risks associated with dwarfism, “dwarf-tossing” is also very dangerous.

there more,

“The possibility of getting paralyzed is high,” David Dodge, Florida district director of the Little People of America, said. “And then to be used as an object for people’s amusement is very degrading.”

I guess there some tea-bagger, and GOP’ers who want to release some stress by throwing these people against some walls..

Maddow Rips Rick Scott, the Gov. of FL

When FL Gov. Rick "Medicare Fraud" Scott mandated that all welfare applicants pass a drug test before receiving benefits? It turns out that so few applicants are failing the test, the entire program will cost much more than it saves. That's no concern for Scott's wife, who has a financial interest in one of the companies doing the testing.

The ACLU of FL had this to say

"We're not testing the population at-large that receives government money; we're not testing people on scholarships, or state contractors. So why these people? It's obvious--because they're poor."

"this is just punishing people for being poor."
