Dear Glenn

Glenn Beck recently responded to Geraldo Whats-His-Name on the question of where the residents of GTMO should be relocated...in particular, Glenn wanted responses from American communities that actually wanted the GTMO detainees to reside in their own communities.

So, I am responding on behalf of Sarasota, Florida. We could use a multi-million dollar maximum security prison here, and it would be great for the GTMO folks to come to Sarasota. We will teach them how to play baseball (maybe even build them a stadium), and it will be a great tourist attraction. In their off-time, we can teach them how to fly (but not land) airplanes down in Venice, just a stone's throw away. We're a very tolerant community, we have all kinds of churches, sanctuaries, wetlands, creepy bars, and cultural meccas. There is also the North Trail, for those not offended by such things.

We could build this multi-million dollar maximum security prison facing west, so that the prisoners could enjoy an excellent view of the gulf side sunset. I know a contractor who would be happy to build this facility for a very small kick-back. His actual bid would be very reasonable, at least reasonable enough to justify the kick-back. (Just KIDDING!)

These prisoners, they do wear collared shirts, right?

We don't do uncollared shirts here in Sarasota. Do we still qualify to get the multi-million dollar maximum security prison?

I'm just askin'
