An out of town band's shitty time at The Pegasus Lounge
Now look... I'm not usually one to judge something based entirely on one experience, but with that said, I'm pretty sure Tampa is a shithole. Now if you're from Tampa or you like Tampa or you have family from Tampa, please don't be offended. I'm sure there are good people and good places in Tampa, just like with any place in the world. But the Tampa we saw yesterday was just a rundown desperate shithole with shitty people and shitty places. But maybe I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's start from the beginning.

Saint Petersblog Subpoenaed by FDLE

Pushing Rope is saying Peter Schorsch of Saint Petersblog was subpoenaed by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement over a comment (Wish someone would put a bullet in the fuckers face already!) someone left on his blog. He asked Schorsch some questions.

The Communications Decency Act of 1996 makes clear that no internet service provider or web site owner is responsible for someone else's speech.
The FDLE care about this?

With the Florida GOP giving our money to the wealthy and corporations, you might want to think of alternatives. One is growing your own food. It's easy. Check out Seminole Heights Community Garden. In Pinellas visit Bartlett Park Community Garden for help. Homefarming.com is also very helpful.

A Message From Saint Petersblog

Dear Readers:
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has alerted me to a comment which was published two days ago on SaintPetersblog.com. I am not going to give credence to the comment by re-posting it, but it included a violent threat against Governor Rick Scott. I have more than willingly supplied
the FDLE with the I.P. address of the commentor.

As much as I may disagree with the politics and policies of Governor Scott, the man is a public servant and deserves a certain modicum of respect. If you don’t respect the man, then respect the office.

Accordingly, please refrain from making threats, of any kind, to not only Governor Scott, but to any politician. I cannot monitor every comment that is made on this site, so if this becomes a problem, I will have to modify or disable the commenting system, which takes away from the interactive nature of SaintPetersblog.com.

Thank you.
Peter Schorsch

Speaking of threats, the FDLE should check this out.

An Atheist-Free Polk County

The Atheists of Florida's filed a federal lawsuit Friday against Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd that alleges her recent arrests are retaliation against her secular views. EllenBeth Wachs, jailed twice this year, is seeking an injunction to stop Judd from arresting her or launching new investigations about her. She claims the charges she currently faces are a result of her "assertion of a non-religious,
atheist viewpoint in the predominantly Christian-oriented Polk County.

Jan Platt - Pam Iorio - Kevin Beckner - Linda Saul-Sena - Ed Turanchik
Imagine, a county full of mass transit, bike paths, pedestrian friendly, jobs, our environment protected, the homeless problem resolved with compassion. We need people who can look beyond their own stupidity, people with vision of the future. People who look out for everyone, not just the few. Who knows, we could get mention in the same breath as, Miami, Atlanta even New Orleans. Instead we are nothing but what the late great Neil Rogers use to call us a nose-picking town. We might even get a cool nickname.

Did You Know Hillsborough County

Is under federal supervision under the Voting Rights Act
Due to past practices that were found discriminatory to Hispanic voters;

the county must submit its new district map to the Justice Department for approval. Federal officials need to closely examine a map that waters down the clout of urban voters and minorities.

There is a way to draw fair districts, and this isn't it.

Republicans enjoy a super majority on the Hillsborough County Commission,
