Pam Bondi. It's hard to imagine how someone who won re-election so handily could emerge from 2014 more wounded and diminished as our Republican attorney general. Put aside the unseemly junkets funded by groups seeking to influence her. Bondi's clumsy communication skills and relentless defense of Florida's gay marriage ban have made her a modern-day Anita Bryant.....more

My name is Christina and I am a law enforcement officer in Tampa Florida. Several months ago I discovered a colony of over forty cats and small kittens in an area where I work. I am in the process of building a large building which will be constructed into a kitty haven for these boys and girls to safely live out their lives free from worry and possible harm at the hands of humans. I am seeking assistance of any kind to help me with food and other necessities to carry this out. Most will need veterinarian treatment as well. Anything will help and I thank you for taking the time to listen to their story! here

The Vin 2014 Stupid State Award: Florida Wins Again
FLORIDUH!! He didn't even fool you once, you knew he was a criminal. And then
he got elected. He cut funding for everything and gave to his cronies, he
ruthlessly cut disabled children's funding, locked up medically fragile children
in adult nursing homes, and he abandoned his own rescue puppy.
Fool you once, shame on you. Fool you twice... what the fuck? This proves Florida deserves the title of My Stupid State. here

SHRIMP DOCKS KITTY RESCUE PROJECT
Hello,
My name is Christina and I am a law enforcement officer in Tampa Florida. Several months ago I discovered a colony of over forty cats and small kittens in an area where I work. I learned that some people feed the cats when they are around but that is not constant because they are fisherman on shrimp boats. Although their intentions are noble, I have never seen fresh water put out for the cats so they drink out of rain puddles in the parking lot when available. As a result, everyone is dehydrated and almost all suffer from some sort of cold or upper respiratory infection. I am seeking assistance of any kind to help me with food and other necessities to carry this out. Most will need veterinarian treatment as well. Anything will help and I thank you for taking the time to listen to their story!

Jon Rector: Put Christ back in Christian
The GOP (Government of the People)
is anything but "...of the People."
And, this so-called Christian nation of ours that the right-wingers thump their holy book of fables about is anything but Christian. Now there is some serious hypocrisy for you.
Now, a little holiday cheer. I saw this on-line the other day: Instead of putting Christ back in Christmas, how about putting Christ back in Christian?
MARCO RUBIO IS A HYPOCRITE
Hypocrisy is nothing new to Florida’s Junior Senator. Time and again we have seen he has contradicted himself on one issue after another. Rubio knows little about foreign policy yet consistently sounds off on the subject.
