Arth Supporter Booted From Sink-Smith Event
A few days after independent gubernatorial candidate Michael E. Arth snuck into a photo with Rick Scott, one of Arth’s supporters was removed today from Democrat Alex Sink’s event in WPB for wearing an Arth button.

“It’s incredible to me that the police, escorted a little 58-year-old grandmother out of the meeting instead of protecting my democratic rights to be there. This just confirmed that the corporate monolith has taken over anything resembling a democracy. This is now about the wealthy and the well-connected.”......Melinda Clark

Stogie Was Planning On Seeing Ms. Sink In Tampa On Sunday. Will He Get Booted If He Wears His Arth Button?

The Stogie Is So Disappointed In Howard Dean

Certain things are disappointing and surprising even for the most hardened cynics. Hearing Howard Dean -- the former liberal standard-bearer -- join Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin
by saying the following is definitely one of them.

Allen West: People With ‘Coexist’ Bumper Stickers

“[A]s I was driving up here today, I saw that bumper sticker that absolutely incenses me. It’s not the Obama bumper sticker. But it’s the bumper sticker that says, ‘Co-exist.’ And it has all the little religious symbols on it. And the reason why I get upset, and every time I see one of those bumper stickers, I look at the person inside that is driving. Because that person represents something that would give away our country. Would give away who we are, our rights and freedoms and liberties because they are afraid to stand up and confront that which is the antithesis, anathema of who we are. The liberties that we want to enjoy.”.....Florida GOP Candidate Allen West

Seafloor Covered In Oil 40 Miles South Of Panama City

HEADING EAST
The "news is not good". Chemical mix of oil and dispersant said to be highly toxic.
First time scientists have found such high levels of toxicity. On seafloor, oil will not break down for a much longer time and will contaminate the area for a much longer time.
The President and his daughter went swimming nearby just a few days ago.
