The Legend of Krampus in Ybor City

Tampa and Ybor City already have some great celebration events, from Gasparilla to Guavaween. Why not another? As far as I’m concerned, we need as many excuses to play dress-up and wander from bar to bar as we can find. To that end I recommend that Tampa adopt Krampusnacht as a local celebration.

The Ybor City Stogie For Best Local Blog

2011 Florida Netroots Awards Run-off Voting Now Open

"I vote for the The Ybor City Stogie. The Stogie is not the most complicated, in-depth site, but it is unabashedly progressive and it is wonderfully local. The Stogie’s ongoing series’ ‘Tampa Bay Homeless‘ has, with its haunting minimalism, developed into the most thought-provoking ongoing series published on Florida’s blogosphere.".......Peter Schorsch

"I nominated the Ybor City Stogie for the Progressive Courage Award. Look at that description again:
Florida politician or political activist who has been a leader on a particular progressive issue in the last year, making a difference in the lives of Floridians.
I nominated him for the amazing work he continues to do highlighting the issue of homelessness in the Tampa Bay area. He does this by keeping what amounts to a running photo journal of homeless people, up close and personal, right there on his blog. When you see these folks face to face, it's really breathtaking. And it is exactly the kind of work progressives should be doing.
And in a number of ways, it is courageous. Thus my nomination. I hope you'll look at the work from the Ybor City Stogie, and I urge you to vote for him."......
Benjamin Kirby

"Run-offs are taking place this week. Go vote for Stogie for Best Local Blog."...... Re/Creating Tampa

Thanks to everyone who got me this far.

Anita Stewart's $300 Campaign

When a friend suggested I run for office as a Green in June of 2009 I thought, “No, definitely not me.” I wanted to serve, but not that way. “Why not?” he asked. “I have no money, no backers, no way to promote myself, not the right resume, not the right hair-do,”
plus a myriad of other reasons that I listed for about five minutes. All excuses.

Gabrielle Perham In The News

Gaby For Mayor
The SOG City Oracle is pleased to endorse the candidacy of Gabrielle Perham for Honorary Mayor of Riverview, Florida. After reading (that) excerpt from her bio, I think this young lady might be a viable candidate for Mayor of Tampa sometime in the future. I am not suggesting "honorary" here. I am impressed!

Re/Creating Tampa 10 Year Blogoversary

Today marks my tenth year anniversary of blogging. While Re/Creating Tampa has only existed for 3 years, I put up my first blog post ten years ago today. The title of that first blog was Slushbrand Actionblog and the first post was about a Thomas Pynchon sighting in NYC.

Path to Prosperity: Land Of The Dead

GOP Budget Plan
The plan would slash federal spending by $5 trillion or more over the coming decade. It would leave Social Security untouched but shift more of the risk from rising medical costs from the government to Medicare beneficiaries. It also calls for sharp cuts to

Medicaid health care for the poor and disabled and to food aid for the poor.

House Budget Committee Chairman Republican Paul Ryan,
of Wisconsin.

Food to the poor? How Ruthless!
R/CT Recommendation: Deer Hunting with Jesus. Which might explain why so many people vote to diminish their own life while working to prop up the wealthy.
