Sing along, won't you, to sinkhole parody
Don't know how it goes? Maybe that's good.

Remember that This Land Is Your Land online parody that made fun of President Bush and Sen. John Kerry before the 2004 elections? The Tampa-based Florida Consumer Action Network has taken up where JibJab left off. The consumer network has rewritten the lyrics, and replaced Bush with state Sen. Mike Fasano and Kerry with state Rep. John Legg. This Land Has Sinkholes follows the plight of a homeowner who watches his house and his pickup truck get swallowed by a sinkhole. And Fasano and Legg, whose districts are ground zero for the sinkhole problem, are also not spared. The spoof focuses on Hernando and Pasco counties and the questionable wisdom of being able to "opt out" of sinkhole coverage. Example, with apologies to Woody Guthrie: "I saved 200 on my insurance. But now they tell me it'll be another 100 grand to fix this sinkhole mess I'm in. Where is Fasano and his pal?"

This is actually pretty stupid because if you read your insurance policy you do have coverage, it is now called catastrophic ground coverage.

Fifty years ago, they were screwed-up kids sent to the Florida School for Boys to be straightened out. But now they are screwed-up men, scarred by the whippings they endured. Read the story and see a video and portrait gallery.
