Funny Rex Huppke column:
Hello everyone, and welcome to this meeting of the Florida GOP Committee on Health Policy. We’re meeting today in this parking lot behind the Hooters in Lakeland because Dale, our treasurer, died of COVID-19 last night and he had sole access to the accounts, so we couldn’t rent out our usual conference room space in the Best Western Plus. Apologies for any inconvenience and thoughts and prayers to Dale’s family members. At least those who have not also died of COVID-19.
My name is Tad Horkington, and I’m honored to have been named president of the committee following the tragic death of Thomas Bilgenut, the interim president who last week died of COVID-19. Tom had, of course, replaced Hugh Frank, our previous president who died two weeks ago of COVID-19, along with his entire family and the adult football club he coached in Tampa. You’ll always be in our memories, Fightin’ Anti-Vaxxers.
We will not read minutes from last month’s meeting, as our committee secretary, Henry Sanford, is presently hospitalized with COVID-19. We wish him and his loved ones well, send our thoughts and prayers and commend his courageous work on the “MASKS ARE TYRANNY!” float that appeared in the Labor Day parade in Tarpon Springs. Hopefully we can honor Henry and his team at our next meeting, assuming they’re off their ventilators or out of quarantine.
Getting down to business, we need to sign off on the anti-vaccine-mandate statement that was put together by Belinda Thompson prior to her death from COVID-19. Thoughts and prayers to Belinda’s family, all of whom were infected by Belinda at the vaccine protest she organized in a sealed tent outside the Granada Plaza Publix in Dunedin.
