When you’re a Tea Party-Koch Brothers-Cato Institute kind of governor you make it known in no uncertain terms that big government is no ally. In fact, its society-eroding role needs constant monitoring and marginalization. But for Gov. Rick Scott inconvenient exceptions keep popping up–from, say, personal higher-education help via the G.I. Bill to, well, requesting Tropical Storm Isaac aid to, oh, calling on the president to invoke the Taft-Hartley Act to pre-empt a possible longshoremen’s strike. How, uh, ironic.
