The blogsphere is filled with opinions why Democrats won’t vote in November. It would be a big, big mistake in Florida where the Jeb Bush stand-in, Marco Rubio, could be elected to represent the "new" face of the GOP. The corporate sponsored Tea Party and related 527′s are rushing Rubio forward in Florida. So who to vote for? The crazy scary 538 Blog in The New York Times gives Kendrick Meek a

Can’t see video, hit this link.I videotaped this off my TV of Rick Scott’s Michael Putney interview. I just focused on his eyes because what he said was so boring. I think he comes from some other planet where they don’t blink and they are trying to invade Florida and take over our hospitals, washing patients with handi-wipes. Oh, wait, he already did that. Watch his eyes, count how many times

According to the Sun Sentinel:"In the Miami Herald newsroom, seven full-time and two part-time positions will be eliminated; in the El Nuevo Herald newsroom, four full-time and two part-time positions are affected."This sucks. Why don’t some of you pay for a newspaper and keep these reporters working?

Don’t see video, here is the link.This kid, at a birthday party on the flowrider at Adrenalina at Gulfstream Park, lost his swim trunks at the top of the ride but took his bare ass in stride. He was having too much fun to be mortified by his naked butt in front of the birthday group. Actually, Gulfstream Park is heads above the Hard Rock complex. Even outdoor at Hard Rock, you smell cigarette

Considering the 1000 Friends group is so tied to its corporate board members/donors, this dumb ass, long-winded, neutral statement is a miracle. The Chamber of Commerce has been holding 1000 Friends up as the poster-child environmental group against Amendment 4. Now what is the Chamber going to do without them? Lost your shill Chamber? Too bad. 1000 Friends are still jerks about this issue, but

From 8/20 – through 9/10 Eugene Flinn collected $4,510 for the District 8 election. What??? Too little. Only thing interesting was seeing my old friend Bill Losner and his wife Doylene on the report. Bill is pretty harmless at this point, retired and all, but he once was a royal pain in the ass. I suppose he still is to poor Doylene. The only interesting expenditure is the $5,500 Flinn had to pay

Josue Larose, a write-in candidate for Governor, has been a write-in candidate in at least 6 races including his candidacy in 2009 for Miami Mayor (his qualifying check bounced so he was booted from the Mayor’s race – he called himself Joshua LaRose at that time). From an Our Campaigns website it said (I am not making this up): "He is a 25 years old rich man, born on June 12, 1981. Regarding his

When District 8 Candidate Lynda Bell ran for Mayor of Homestead she had some excess funds at the end of her campaign. She donated half to a church (hers?). What bothered me, however, she sent the rest, $800, out of Homestead, where there is no shortage of needy charitable organizations. Her campaign money went to Altamonte Springs to her Right to Life group. Even the Vile Natacha Seijas kept most

Tropical Audubon will host its annual conservation workshop this Saturday to set the conservation agenda for the coming year at The Deering Estate. The day will begin with a bird walk at 7 a.m. followed by breakfast at 8 a.m. From 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., a series of knowledgeable speakers will discuss conservation issues.I would skip the bird walk — too early and show up for the food at 8 am.
