Rick Scott's Executions
Scott has presided over 18 executions,
including 13 in the last two years,
the most executions carried out by any Florida governor
in a single term since the death penalty was reinstated in the
1970s.
With another execution scheduled in 10 days,
Scott has already exceeded the 15 executions carried out in Gov. Bob Graham's
second term. Only Jeb Bush, who oversaw 21 executions in two terms over eight
years, remains ahead of Scott. here

More GOP BS
It appears that President Obama, with 182 EO’s, still has to sign off on another 100 Executive Orders before he even comes close to tying with
George W. Bush – whose record stands at 291.
And Bush Jr. pales in comparison to Ronald Reagan who must have been the great usurper of the Constitution with his Executive Order count standing at 381! here

Leadership lacking on transit in Hillsborough
The comments last week by the chairman of Hillsborough County's mass transit agency illustrate why this region continues to lag behind other major metro areas in mass transit.
Mike Suarez, the chairman of Hillsborough Area Regional Transit, scoffed at the notion that the county would be ready to present a transit package to the voters in 2016. "The boat has sailed on that,"
he said. Best to wait until 2018.
That's a stall that has played out for decades, and it reflects a lack of vision and leadership that continues to hurt Hillsborough
and the Tampa Bay region. here

Miami rallies against U.S. intervention in Iraq
Over two dozen activists still care
and gathered at the Torch of Friendship in Miami,
June 21, to rally against U.S. intervention in Iraq. here
Cars honked to show support and passersby joined to listen to the speeches and chant “No justice! No peace! U.S. out of the Middle East!” and “Money for jobs and education, not for wars and occupation!” The banner that read “U.S. hands off Iraq” waved alongside signs that said “Not then, not now! U.S. out of Iraq!” and “First Bush, then Obama, different party, same drama!”
Women are Smarter and More Likely to Vote Democrat
Dems tend to be friendlier towards women,
unlike the GOP, which tries to keep women down by doing things like telling them they don’t deserve equal pay or benefits at their jobs.
Republicans blocked the Paycheck Fairness Act. They keep fighting things like mandated contraception, with some saying that women should just keep an aspirin between their knees, to say nothing of their position on abortion (even for pregnancies caused by rape or incest). So yes, women vote Democratic, because they’re smart enough to know that the Party of Old, Rich, White Men wants to keep women down. here

The Hillsborough Democratic Party Sucks
Why, in a county where Democrat voters outnumber Republican voters by about 60,000, is it a foregone conclusion Republicans control the county's governing body?
The Hillsborough Democratic party has long struggled at the basic elements of organization for local races, like fundraising and grooming candidates. Friday marked the end of qualifying for local elections, finalizing the field of candidates vying for four open seats on the Hillsborough County Commission. And, yet again, it appears unlikely Democrats will pick up a majority on the seven-member commission, where they now hold two seats and would be lucky to pick up another.
One of the races ended Friday, as incumbent Republican Ken Hagan drew no opposition in countywide District 5.
One other race will be decided without Democrat involvement, as three Republicans and a write-in candidate are vying for eastern Hillsborough's District 4, vacated by term-limited
Al Higginbotham. Higginbotham, a Republican, instead is running in countywide District 7 and has a huge fundraising lead over his challengers. here
