After Your Dream Comes True, What Do You Do With The Leftover Dough? By Geniusofdespair

admin — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 18:00:12 +0000

One of the problem sitting County Commissioners have is: What do they do with the obscene amount of leftover cash, sitting in their campaign accounts, after they crush their opponents? In 2008 Vile Natacha Seijas had to face that very problem when she collected $304,426. Natacha, of course, works for the "Y" so she gave them the most, $55,000. Terry Murphy, her Chief of Staff, was past president

Eye on Miami Endorses Julio Robaina in the State Senate Primary. By Geniusofdespair

admin — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 06:01:00 +0000

(If you don’t see video hit this link)I am happy to endorse Julio Robaina in the State Senate Primary for District 36. I have known him since he was South Miami Mayor. When I went to meet him ten years ago, he had an Audubon Magazine on his desk, I thought that was a good sign. He is a terrific guy. We don’t always agree (Terry Schiavo) but he is always reasonable and respectful. If I were in

Republicans, I can do without them, but these three are so lovable even though they are misguided on some issues. I guess you could call them moderate Republicans, yes they do still exist. Left to right: State Senate District 36 Candidate Julio Robaina, State Representative Candidate for District 117 Jose Pazos, endorsed by the Miami Herald, and last but least, Whilly Bermudez, running in

The Miami New Times thinks they have bonded. Franscisco Alvarado says, lobbyist and State Senate hopeful, Miguel Diaz de la Portilla’s path to the dark side is complete. He has linked up with the Former Mayor to form a lobbyist dream-team. They ran against each other for Mayor of the County.

Shooter who targeted liberal foundation staff, inspired by Fox News: news The Miami Herald won’t print … by gimleteye

admin — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 18:01:22 +0000

Last week a heavily armed man in California shot by highway police admitted to be en route to start a massacre at the liberal Tides Foundation. Glenn Beck instigated the shooter, according to Media Matters: a story The Miami Herald should report. Maybe someone could find a parallel example of PBS or NBC or McClatchy instigating hatred against the Cato Institute, AEI or Heritage Foundation. If you

I can’t believe I was first on this (see mine yesterday)…Here is the Miami Herald’s District 8 endorsement: "After a distinguished 16 years on the commission Katy Sorenson is moving on. Those vying to replace her are an impressive group: Lynda Bell, 53, a property manager and former Homestead mayor; Eugene Flinn, 48, a lawyer and Palmetto Bay mayor; Albert Harum-Alvarez, 50, a software

Eye on Miami Endorses Palmetto Bay Mayor Gene Flinn for County Commissioner in District 8. By Geniusofdespair

admin — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 06:00:40 +0000

Yes I am choosing Eugene Flinn. I don’t have the energy to write a blog about it but I just felt it was time to shit or get off the pot. It was one of the hardest choices I ever made because I like Annette Taddeo and Albert Harum Alvarez as people. I also like Danny Marmorstein, he is a sweet guy and he would drive the rest of the Commissioners crazy as they would have to be nice to him. A lot of

Have we been unfair to Obdulio Piedra in his run in District 8 for County Commission? By Geniusofdespair

admin — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 18:02:24 +0000

Yes, I believe we have been harsh in one respect, I don’t think he is connected to Natacha Seijas because I just looked closely at his campaign report.I took his report and compared it with Vile Natacha Seijas’s 2008 campaign report. I got tired after entering 131 of Piedra’s 279 donations because there wasn’t that much going on. These were the only donors they had in common in the 131 entries
