Florida Dem Victor DiMaio Busted

Political operative Keto Nord Hodges took to Facebook to accuse Alan Cohn of trying to block one of his opponents, Jesse Phillipe, from participating in a Tampa Tiger Bay candidate forum
 June 5.
Hodges said Cohn was “trying to sponsor” the event but is “threatening to pull his sponsorship” if Phillipe, the only African American candidate in the race, is invited.
The threat was made, however it wasn’t from Cohn or his campaign. It was Cohn supporter Victor DiMaio. HERE

Bob Buckhorn Blocks Janelle Irwin On Twitter

Or one of his staffers with access to his social media did. Or he told them to. In any case, I can’t view any of Buckhorn’s tweets. And this guy is rumored to be gunning for the Governor’s mansion. Rick Scott may be slimy, but at least he doesn’t go blocking every reporter who refers to him as Skeletor or Voldemort. here

Open Letter From The Best Writer @ SPB: Janelle Irwin

"It’s strange to me that you consider killing living things a sport. That you smile over the carcass of a once-living thing and revel in your kill both shocks and offends me. Killing animals for food is one thing – cows are cute, but I love me some steak – but to do it for “sport” just seems sick." Janelle Irwin
