Juked Statistics In St. Pete

I've seen it suggested that St. Petersburg crime statistics are manipulated or "juked." I don't know what "juked" numbers are, but the simple fact is that crime is down in St. Petersburg in large part because the community is 
re-engaged. Benjamin Kirby

Ben Kirby On The Shutdown

On behalf of rational thinking people everywhere, I would like to call for a formal and official end to the news media and societal malpractice of false equivalence. The government shutdown was never about two equally aggrieved sides trying to find common ground.......more

The End Of The Republican Party

The Republicans have the shutdown. This is Week Two of the shutdown, and already we have seen the lowest approval ratings for the GOP in history. Indeed, I have heard faint, quiet whispers of a Democratic takeover of the House, the heavy price to be inflicted on belligerent Republicans. What will Week Three bring?

Sad Day In Tampa Bay

One of Tampa Bay's best writers is saying goodbye.  
"I am sending The Spencerian on an extended hiatus.I am not sure when it will be back, if at all.".....Ben Kirby
You don't know how many times i've thought of doing the same thing. But i always come back to what MLK once said. "In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." i think
i owe that to my  daughter. my granddaughter and all my
 nieces and nephews. I have come this far, i just can't stop now. I will miss you Mr. Kirby.

The Fix and the Best of Florida

Cillizza and the team from The Fix are back again, and they want nominations for best state political blogs:
Now, I certainly wouldn't complain if some generous reader out there wanted to nominate The Spencerian. It would be a genuine honor, and I would be grateful. However, there are a lot of great blogs in this state, and I think they and their writers (and readers, for that matter) deserve a shot. So I am asking you think about other Florida blogs first. Go ahead.You can do it.

Clintonaut

"I was lucky enough to work in Washington, D.C. for all eight years of the Clinton Administration. I've heard a lot of different names for folks who served in the Administration: "Clintonites" and "Clintonians" are the top two. I am not really a fan of either."......Benjamin Kirby
