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.

Light Rail Is Making Cities Leaner And Greener
It's clean and green and makes the daily commute to and from work quick and easy. That's why as many as 1.5 million people pack light rail trains across the country every day. It helps eliminate cars from congested road ways and reduce carbon emissions by 20 pounds per person, per day.

The Nontraditional Cuban Sandwich
Andy Huse outdoes himself again...This time he takes us back to the Ybor City roots of the Cuban Sandwich.
Rev. Lucius Walker
RIPAugust 3, 1930 - September 7, 2010
"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. Lucius Walker

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.here
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.here
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.

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.
