Oh Florida.

Funny story. The high school (and I believe the middle school too) in the town where I grew up is close enough to the CIA campus in Langley that model rockets have been known to land there and be returned by men in suits (with any cameras taken out, of course).

I've seen a few articles mention Florida in the same way like "Oh Florida". What is it about Florida that people are referring to?

Florida has a reputation for having a large number of news articles where a member of the public has done something both criminal and remarkably stupid (e.g. the fellow who took pictures of his children sitting on a beached dugong and posted them online), or where government officials of done something egregiously petty and/or stupid (e.g. this case).
