Marco Rubio's Record Is A Sham

For the frenzy he brings to politics, Marco Rubio has been called the Energizer Bunny. But he's really the Wizard of Oz, a manipulator behind a façade, making himself seem larger than life.

2010 Recycled Yard Art

A little creativity, an old something bound for the trash heap and close attention to deadlines could win you cash next month. The contest, in its third year, aims to encourage reusing or recycling items that would otherwise end up in a landfill. Contestants are asked to create art that can weather the elements. It should be constructed mostly with recycled - or recyclable - goods, and weigh no more than 40 pounds. Only Hillsborough residents are eligible to enter.

Tampa: A City Without Culture

When you think of downtown areas, you usually think of an urban setting with lots of people, multiple forms of transportation, shops, bakeries and a central park for people to gather amongst high-rise buildings. Downtown Tampa has some of those amenities, but in many ways it is lacking a cultural community.

Democracy And The Republic

Michael E. Arth
One of the greatest threats to a democratic republic is when factions are able to act against the will of the majority. This is why George Washington belonged to no party, and famously warned against them.
Our two-party system, cemented in place by anti-democratic election laws, acts against the interest of the majority by shutting out other parties or individuals, by not allowing the best candidates to come forward, and by manufacturing consent through emotionally potent advertising and propaganda.

How To Hear Tampa’s Sound

Many members of Tampa’s musician collective have been able to gain enthusiastic followers, but these fans hadn’t heard them on the radio or read about them in Rolling Stone. Instead, local artists have devised ways to market, advertise and introduce themselves within the busy Tampa Bay music scene.

Alex Sink Refuses To Debate Michael E. Arth

Michael E. Arth confronts Alex Sink and Florida Democratic Party officials over debates and unfair practices. Eric Jotkoff, Communications Director for the Florida Democratic Party, had Arth escorted out of the rally by a security guard. It appears that Jotkoff was especially incensed when Arth brought up that 23% of Democrats voting in the primary had apparently registered protest votes by voting for an unknown socialist candidate (Brian Moore) with no money.

"Funny how the progressives have been the downfall of this once great nation."....Scott D. Barrish
Mr. Barrish, I suggest you track down Bush, Cheney and company and ask them about the downfall of this great nation. Please don't bring up Clinton and Obama. Clinton was no progressive and Obama inherited the mess. And whats up with nominating a corporate criminal to be our govenor?

Coming To A Bookstore Near You.
The newest issue of Rolling Stone is causing quite a controversy right here in Tampa Bay. One mother's complaint motivated the store to move the magazine out of plain sight.

They then drove more than 100 miles, scoping out almost every bookstore in Hillsborough County.
