Wait, I think I’m saying that wrong. Our boy Charlie Crist and his team of AWESOME has launched a new site for the Florida Office of Economic Recovery at flarecovery.com. I bet you read it as flare covery too, eh? So why didn’t they go with flrecovery.com instead you ask? Well, because that, and every other damn domain name is already owned, of course!

It looks like the toolbags over at the Florida Retail Federation (FRF) purchased flrecovery.com on January 15 of this year, probably to sell us some shit with it. The FRF owns their own domain at frf.org, but that simply forwards to floridabankcardsolutions.com which might make your eyes bleed.

Sorry, got off topic there. The first, and most important thing to cover about this site is the following: Charlie Crist can take some seriously unfortunate photos. Even tiny inset Charlie thinks he looks ridiculous waving like a Prom Queen. Check it:

Now, the second most important thing is the following: THANK YOU BARACK O-GODDAMN-BAMA!!! Seriously, this man has done so much good for web design. I mean, sure, he’s cool otherwise with the President thing and whatnot, but it is so refreshing to start seeing government websites not be unusable pieces of shit and I attribute that largely to he and his team.

Third: Check out the awesome photos of a meeting. So good.

Seriously, though, keep an eye on this. Education is second on the list, which I’m hoping means that is where it falls in priority order. To me that is the single most critical area not only to prevent cuts, but to invest through teacher raises and serious infrastructure work. As the incomparable Whitney Houston so wisely said:

I believe the children are our are future, teach them well and let them lead the way.
