Ken Hagan "Blown Away"

At this morning’s Hillsborough County Commissioner’s meeting, board member
Mark Sharpe presented Ken Hagan with a token of appreciation for
his leadership, integrity and excellent service over the last year.
Hagan, who played baseball at the University of Florida and has played and loved baseball most of his life, was “blown away” by the gesture and seemed genuinely very honored to be receiving the recognition. Hagan was given a Louisville slugger baseball bat signed by each of his fellow commissioners.

Hardened Criminal Barbers In Orlando

Sheriff Jerry L. Demings
Armed Orange County deputies, including narcotics agents, stormed barbershops in the Pine Hills area of Orange County, handcuffing barbers in front of customers during a busy back-to-school weekend. The shops were predominantly black and Hispanic owned. The operations were conducted without warrants, under the authority of the Department of Business and Professional Regulation inspectors, who can enter salons at will.

Kathy Castor: Thank You

I am humbled and honored by your support for my reelection campaign. Thank you for allowing me to represent you. I will continue to work for economic recovery and opportunity for all in our community. Your encouragement and work on my behalf means a great deal to me, Bill and our family.

As we move forward, I will continue fighting for jobs so your voice is heard instead of the special interests. Our progress has resulted in significant investments and jobs at MacDill Air Force Base, Tampa International Airport, Moffitt Cancer Center, USF, community health centers, the I-4 port connector, and more.

We still face challenges in our communities but together we will continue to address them head on with principled solutions that will keep us on the path to economic opportunity for all. I will continue standing up to BP and the big banks that harmed our state. I will ensure that veterans, seniors, and students are given the benefits and opportunities they have been promised and I will continue to be your voice in Washington, fighting for economic progress and accountability.

Now more than ever, our community needs an independent leader on their side.

Thank you for the opportunity to serve.

I look forward to hearing from you in the coming weeks. Have a blessed Thanksgiving and Holiday Season.

Sincerely, Kathy Castor

Corrupt Prosecutor Mark Hurlbert

On July 3, Steven Milo was riding his bicycle when he was allegedly struck from behind by wealth manager Martin Joel Erzinger. Rather than stop and call 911, or otherwise seek help for Dr. Milo, Erzinger fled the scene and called the Mercedes auto assistance service for help with his broken side mirror.

Now, Eagle County DA Mark Hurlbert is willing to drop felony charges against Erzinger, because he's worried that Erzinger may be unable to keep his job,

Right-Wing Echo Chamber

$200 Million A Day For Obama To Travel?
To say this figure has made the rounds in the blogosphere would be a huge understatement. It has been repeated by nearly every conservative pundit in the land: Hannity, Limbaugh, Beck, Drudge. Always with a healthy dose of indignation. Actually it's a figure that came from just one source, a news agency in India, relying on an anonymous source. It was then repeated thousands more times in the blogosphere and airwaves.
here

"It bothers me just a bit that while all these reasons why the Democrats got swamped in the mid terms are floating around, very few are calling attention to the right-wing echo chamber which ratcheted up the lies against Obama and the Democrats, thereby scaring Americans and exploiting covert prejudices against Obama."

Don't Let The Blue Dogs Take Over
Democrats suffered serious losses on Tuesday, but no one was hit harder than the corporatist Blue Dogs. Over half their members are gone. Apparently, being the GOP's best friends on issue after issue wasn't the political winner they claimed it was.
But getting drubbed hasn't made the Blue Dogs humble. Now, they have Nancy Pelosi in their sights, demanding she step down as Democratic leader in the House. The Blue Dogs want to replace her with one of their own, so they can deliver our entire party to Wall Street.
