Florida to Build Railroad to Europe
Richard Fader, a spokesman for the Florida State Department told Trivisonno.com:
“You would think that with the cheap dollar, more tourists would be coming to Florida from overseas. However, we have recently learned that there is some sort of problem with jet fuel costs. While it is true that we might have as many as 21 billion barrels of oil off of our coast, we feel it is only fair to let the Cubans drill it.
“The USA has lots of coal, and we make good trains. So, the State of Florida thinks that the best solution to the problem is to build a railroad under the Atlantic Ocean so that our European friends can once again visit us.
We are a very well thought-out state unlike those dummies in Texas who drill all those un-sightly holes in their state.”
We here at Trivisonno.com heartily endorse this proposal. As the Miami Beach tourist business dries up, it’s time to take action!

I posted this on Thursday night, and on Friday morning, as soon as I turned on CNBC, was surprised to see Joe Kernen interviewing Florida Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink.
Sink said that whether or not Florida allows off-shore drilling, it would have no effect on prices at the pump. She went on to say that voters should not be “snookered” by the evil oil companies.
Kernen asked her how people would get to Florida if they couldn’t afford to drive or fly there. Sink did not address the point.
