I've never actually watched Veggie Tales myself, but have nieces and nephews who have sung me songs, and told me about them. I still don't get that whole "tomatoes are a fruit not a vegetable" thing. And "cubumbers" are even better than cucumbers!

The distinction between "fruits" and "vegetables" has to do not with the plants itself, but rather with the portion of the plant that is eaten. The fruit of a plant is the portion that contains the seeds. For some plants, such as cucumbers or tomatoes, that is the part that is commonly eaten. For other plants, such as celery or lettuce, one normally eats stalks or leaves. Not sure exactly how beans and grains fit into things.

I would love to see Jeb just remove Greer from the bench. I thought I read that he could do such a thing, but I'm probably mistaken. My memory isn't working as well tonight as I'd like for it to. Busy, busy day!

I don't know that Jeb would have any authority to do that; the thing I wonder about is to what extent, push come to shove, Greer really has authority over him.

Hmmmm. Greer having authority over Jeb. Now that's food for thought. I'm not enjoying contemplating that one.

BTW, that was the best explanation for the fruits vs. vegetables idea that I've ever heard.

When Judges retire or resign, it's my recollection that the Governor can appoint Circuit Court Judges. Those interested in the position also need to apply to the Judicial Qualifications Commission, essentially they need to nominate themselves.

Judge Susan Schaefer is retiring due to illness. That's another vacancy right there.

Fla Criminal Statute 825 has been violated by judges, doctors and some lawyers in the battle against Terri. You won't see that in the mainstream media.
