Wilkins, a member of the governor’s transition team, is the finance chief of the Florida Baptist Children’s Home, a private agency that allows only “professing Christians” to adopt children in its care.

Tampa Do-Gooder
Leaving The Path Of Least Rresistance
I came up with Tampa Do-Gooder over a year and a half ago so I could focus on that giving side of myself and others, and I'm still surprised when I come across true do-gooders. I may have the heart and the desire, but I spend more energy frustrated and not knowing how I can best help than actually doing. Intentions are great motivators but they fade like dreams when you fail to act upon them.

Stop The War On The Cuban People
Free Flow Of Information - End The Embargo
Flights To Cuba Out Of TIA
Let me offer a bit of hopeful prognostication: someday the embargo will go away. Probably not tomorrow, not the next day, not next week, probably not even next year. The embargo hurts the people of Cuba, not the terrible regime (even a kid can understand this concept)."......The Spencerian

Kind Words From Peter Schorsch
A Brief Tribute To The Ybor City Stogie
All of the rich-and-powerful who read this site, all of the political players who I hope read my work, all of the Masters-of-the-Universe at the Governor’s Club lounge or the Tampa Club…far too few of them read, much less agree with, the writings of the Ybor City Stogie – a rudimentary cut-and-paste of Florida and Tampa Bay’s right-wing.
But I read you Stogie. And so did many others. They may not walk the corridors of power (maybe they do) but you’re readers are out there. Your features on the homeless, on the downtrodden, on the discriminated are, on one hand, heartbreaking; on the other hand, they are inspiring.
Stogie, you’ve got balls. You recently, oh-so-subtlety called out some of our fellow bloggers, asking where the hell is everybody. And for that alone, you have my respect.
In your eyes, Stogie, I must seem like a sell-out because I don’t fight for every left-wing or Democratic candidate. In fact, there are quite a few Republicans I support, respect and admire. But that’s me — working from the inside out. You keep doing what you are doing — reminding all of us what we should be saying and thinking.

Tampa Target Of Partial Panhandling Ban
Tampa City Council Chairman Tom Scott is proposing a partial city ban on panhandling that would include major roads like Dale Mabry, Kennedy, Fowler and Fletcher.
Mr. Scott you are running for mayor and this is the best you can come up with?
WTF
Should Mr. Obama be according Mr. Hu the kind of pomp and circumstance ordinarily reserved for more like-minded allies. The 2010 Nobel Peace Prize winner, Liu Xiaobo, is a political prisoner in China. And Mr. Obama himself won the prize in 2009.

Is Florida A Commodity Or A Treasure?
That is the question former U.S. Sen. and Gov. Bob Graham asked after his speech Friday to the Economic Club of Florida on the oil spill disaster in the Gulf. Although he chose his words carefully, his point is that the political climate today has revived the question which he believes was put to rest 40 years ago:
Is Florida for sale?
