“Florida Man” does not have the right connotations for this exhibition of righteous stuff. Somebody buy this man beer and wings.

Tweet of the Day, Excuse Me, I Thought This Was AMERICA edition.
I mean, yeah, dude’s gotta pay for the pole. That wasn’t his pole to smash through. But he could send in the cash for it… what? Well, obviously he can’t write a check, can he? Dude’s on the lam! Sheesh.

Hurricane Michael headed for Gulf Coast on Wednesday.
Hurricane Michael is Category 1, is hitting Cuba now, and looks like it’ll go north from there. As usual: if you live in the area where this is likely to hit, please get out of the way. This is why we have satellite warnings.
Tweet of the Day, WHEN IGUANAS ATTACK edition.
Apparently the iguanas were merely stunned by this cold snap, not killed.

Snow in Tallahassee!
Alternative title: Hell, orange futures markets freeze over. Not that Tallahassee is Hell, of course. Not even Jacksonville is Hell, although when you go there in August* you kind of get a rough approximation of the likely climate there. Still, hey, snow in Florida!
Schools in Tallahassee, Charleston and Savannah among those closed in advance of developing coastal storm! I’ll see you on @ABCWorldNews with the track! pic.twitter.com/n3TEsXdgj1

Do whatever you have to do to be safe from Hurricane Irma.
I don’t know how unusual this is, but it does not look good at all.
The eye of #Irma stands out clearly on full-disk satellite imagery tonight. pic.twitter.com/svHbSfzteY

Tweet of the Day, A Big-Ass Alligator Deserves No Less edition.
Yup, that’s a real alligator, from the real state of Florida. Which is to say, very very far away from me and I’m all right with that. I understand that it’s apparently an amiable sort of alligator, seeing as it walked right past a bunch of photographers who seem to have a classic GURPS Horror-style Delusion about how having a camera makes them invulnerable – but what if the alligator changes its mind?

Marco Rubio made a GREAT point about Cuba.
If Marco Rubio wins Florida after all, answers like this are going to be why.
Via John Podheretz, who is gloomier than I think he needs to be. Rubio made a really strong, really Florida-centric argument last night; and while I don’t see a path for him winning the nomination right now I do see one for him denying Donald Trump Florida’s delegates, which will be sufficient.

PS: There was more, but this is all that I really wanted to share.
My RedState post on Daniel Webster.
Found here. Short version: Rep. Daniel Webster has settled on running for re-election in FL-11. All part of the Florida redistricting dance, which is particularly complicated right now… just like normal, really.
My RedState post on Alan Grayson’s Congressional hedge fund.
Found here. Short version: Alan Grayson was actually managing a hedge fund while in office. And he still doesn’t understand why his own campaign staff was and is screaming at him over that. Because, hey, Alan Grayson.
