Are Ghosts Prowling The Tampa Theater?
The Tampa Theater in Tampa, Florida is a beautiful sight. In the 1970s it was restored and renovated, and it remains a very popular attraction. It’s a bit eclectic but works well and some say it’s haunted.......here

The Real Agenda: A Massive Transfer of Wealth
The Transfer Of Power From The Hands Of The Many To The Hands Of The Few
In 1942, German intelligence officers rounded up skilled Jewish prisoners and launched Operation Bernhardt, a clever scheme designed to counterfeit hundreds of millions of dollars worth of British Pounds and destroy the British economy by flooding it with counterfeit money. Today, in America, the Federal Reserve is doing the exact same thing by flooding the U.S. economy with counterfeit dollars. But we're not talking about a few hundred million dollars here: The Federal Reserve is engaged in an economic carpet bombing campaign involving the counterfeiting of TRILLIONS of dollars.......here

A Billboard For Shelter
On Saturday, we took advantage of a friend heading for Pinar del Rio and traveled in his car with some donations for the victims. Clothes and food given by people who have little, but with a desire to help those who have less. That solidarity between citizens that, although it may seem insignificant compared to what governments and NGOs can give, mustn’t be left undone..........here

The “New” Tampa Tribune
Do I like it? It’s great if you’re a scanner. At least 90 percent of the weekday Trib’s stories are shorties and briefs packages. There’s lots of photos, a graphic or two, and even the op-ed page (page 21) is geared for quicker reads and more reader interaction........here

Tampa's WFLA Feeds The Propaganda
On Tampa Bay's NBC's WFLA affiliate, Keith Cate's interview of Sarah Palin on Monday, Oct. 6, was quite disappointing. Keith referred to it as a "candid interview", but by no means was it "candid", however I can see why it's an "exclusive interview", while the rest of the news media is being shunned and kept away from Sarah Palin........here

District 57
FightTheSmears.com
"What you won't hear from this campaign or this party is the kind of politics that uses religion as a wedge, and patriotism as a bludgeon -- that sees our opponents not as competitors to challenge, but enemies to demonize." – Barack Obama, June 3, 2008

Todd Schnitt, A Ridiculous Little Man
Todd Schnitt is an angry assbag, ranting and raving about liberals and spreading lies about Barack Obama. Why is a broadcaster who makes millions so angry? At first, I thought maybe it was act. He's simply catering to the lowest common denominator. Like most so-called libertarian broadcasters, he pretends to be bold while behind the scenes he's content to run his tongue around the rim of the Republican asses who write his paychecks............here

Strip-Club King Joe Redner Is Florida's Unlikeliest Folk Hero
It's a sweltering July afternoon in Tampa, Florida, and a small crowd of men are cooling off in the most notorious watering hole in the South, the Mons Venus. A tiny one-story building wedged between fast-food restaurants on busy Dale Mabry Highway, the Mons is known for its exotic dancers (and convenient proximity to Raymond James Stadium, home of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers). But the star attraction is the 68-year-old dude with wire-frame glasses and a long gray ponytail talking on the phone in the back: Joe Redner........here
