From an election cycle that has left Americans wondering who to vote for, to a Florida Supreme Court ruling that has left Florida’s prosecutors wondering why murderers can’t face the death penalty, Floridians are left scratching their heads wondering what it is we’re supposed to do in a sitiuation where there aren’t many good choices.

Never fear, The Capitolist  is here to remind readers that when things get confusing, we can always make things even more complicated with a few REAL* emails from REAL* readers.
