A MESSAGE TO THE TEA PARTY MOVEMENT

From Larry Flynt
You have a reason to be angry. You are being screwed. The bankers get bailed out, but the working class is left to fend for itself at a time when jobs are hard to find. But your anger is misdirected.
It may indeed be time for a revolution. Just make sure you go after the right people.

Florida Stilt Houses

Sitting about a mile offshore out in the Gulf of Mexico in New Port Richey is several "Stilt Houses". These nine houses that is still left are built on stilts are amazing to see firsthand as they are scattered along the coast just sitting in silence in the shallow waters.

A Digital Tiger: The Florida Liberal Blogosphere

"The liberal blogosphere in Florida which Quinnell held dominion over prior to his involvement with the Meek Campaign is not even a paper tiger, it’s a digital tiger. The left-wing blogosphere in Florida is a myth. It doesn’t exist. Or if it does, it is simply an echo chamber for the worst side of the Democratic Party."......Peter Schorsch

The Stogie thanks Mr. Quinnell for trying, without him we would truly have nothing.

"We don’t consider Cuba our enemy, but rather our neighbor. And as people who are motivated by the great teachers of faith, we believe that we are to love our neighbors. That means we have to act contrary to US policy, which is an imposition of a blockade against Cuba to try to force it to do the will of the US rather than to pursue its own path towards a better world."......Rev.
