After All These Years Larry Flynt Is Still The Man
Anthony Weiner has been offered an Internet job with a raise, moving expenses, health benefits equal to what he has been accustomed to, and a fancy office in Beverly Hills working

Hillsborough County Parents Plead For After-School Programs
"The neighborhoods we live in, they're like prisons, you keep cutting from the people who are hurting the most — the little people, you're hurting us even more."......Robert Herman, blue-collar worker with four children who has been unemployed two years.


Our wars, that the right-wing started, is costing us $1.6B a year. FedEx at TIA hasn't paid county property taxes for over 10 years. Those back taxes could help pay for After-School Programs.

What are you thinking?
Forget what everyone is saying and keep your job. Let the voters decide. Republicans have done alot worse. In other countries the sex lives of politicians is not news. It took the French guys visit to the US to get him busted.
You did lie to your hot wife and the American people.

Jeff Lukens Tea Party Summer Camp

Introduce kids ages 8 to 12 to principles that include "America is good," "I believe in God," and "I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable."

Fun, Fun, Fun.
Children will win hard, wrapped candies to use as currency for a store, symbolizing the gold standard. On the second day, the "banker" will issue paper money instead. Over time, students will realize their paper money buys less and less, while the candies retain their value.

Another example: Starting in an austere room where they are made to sit quietly, symbolizing Europe, the children will pass through an obstacle course to arrive at a brightly decorated party room (the New World).

Still another example: Children will blow bubbles from a single container of soapy solution, and then pop each other's bubbles with squirt guns in an arrangement that mimics socialism. They are to count how many bubbles they pop. Then they will work with individual bottles of solution and pop their own bubbles.

Wilana Joenel Frazier of Brooksville

Children as young as 10 years old say they watched her beat two kittens with a baseball bat before she and her two children kicked them numerous times. Once one of the animals appeared to have died, the body was thrown in a trash receptacle while one of the children poured water over it.

Cyber War Against The City Of Orlando

It seems the City of Orlando has ticked off the wrong people. The group Peoples Liberation Front says it will take Orlando's official website offline at 10 a.m. Friday morning. But this nonviolent resistance is just a warning shot: they'll put the site back up at noon, but they promise next time they won't be so facilitating.
