Dave Barry defends Florida from cultural haters like Chicago's Steve Dahl and Garry Meier

Lonnie Yeager
   Chicago's Steve Dahl and Garry Meier radio program often blasts Florida and put blame on the crazy news to Floridian citizens as there is something naturally wrong with the people in the Sunshine State. the reason Steve Dah and his snotty partner Gary Meier knock this state is because it is some 1000 miles away and if they knocked Illinois and the rural backwater and urban hood rats they would upset the local advertisers. With this in mind the radio dynamic dual should consider having an actual Floridian to explain the news that comes of of this populace state that has many people being the third or fourth largest state of the union. Author Dave Berry has written many great cultural books on this country and has a book called "Best State Ever" where he intently defends Florida nd you would never find him a s a guest on the Steve and Gary program.

Dahl and Meier were talking this week about how Dahl was driving back and forth crossing the Mississippi line and how he was so impressed that he was going back and forth on this historical natural landmark. If Dahl looked at the local news sources and papers he would find a huge swath of bizarre neurotic and eccentric stories as he does finding and reading shit about Florida. If  Steve Dahl and Garry Meier would have this award winning author he could explain to these numnuts that most Floridians are people from other areas and as a that Florida is a destination for many of the rural backwater losers displaced from other states along with some of the bad locals who could not find their way mentally to a good corporate job out of this red state from hell. Many of these Floridians that Dahl reads in these weird news stories are recent arrivals and refugees of the economic disparities of America. These are the eccentric and neurotic who migrated by the forces  that have regulated Florida as the last spot for cheap housing. Dahl and Meier need to fully explore the Mississippi  delta and see some of the bad shit that comes out of this part of fly by country instead of only dissing Florida and thinking the Sunshine state owns a monopoly of crazy news stories.
