Florida's Merry Band Of Thieves
Should Alex Sink, Charlie Crist and Bill McCollum Be Under Criminal Investigation?Three years ago, Florida made bad investments that lost hundreds of millions in value. State leaders blamed the sharks of Wall Street, who they said duped Florida money managers into buying way-too-risky securities.
The St. Petersburg Times has obtained e-mails and internal memos that document a story at odds with the one told by Crist, Sink and McCollum. The records show the state was anything but an innocent dupe;
it was an eager partner.

David Cobb Rallies Tampa Crowd
You’re All FreaksThey could have been anywhere, doing anything, on such a beautiful afternoon. But there they were, a hearty group gathered for hours in the John F. Germany library auditorium. They stayed in that cavernous room, listening to David Cobb speak, so long they nearly risked being locked in.

Kelly Benjamin: An Open Letter To Tampa
Why I’m RunningI’m coming at this race from an activist’s perspective because I care deeply about this city and what goes on around here. I want to be a voice on the council that helps residents guide this city in a new direction, to help transition away from some of the backwards ideas of the past towards a more sustainable city for the future. I want to help build a place that we can all love to call home. I need your help to do it.

A MESSAGE TO THE TEA PARTY MOVEMENT
From Larry FlyntYou 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.

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.
