Kathy Castor’s Arrogance Of Office
In the wake of the Arizona shootings last week, politicians from across the country have called for changing the tone of politics. But if members of Congress (and other political leaders) want to change the culture of public debate, they need to look in the mirror first. Their own behavior helps foster the bad behavior from some of their constituents.Consider Kathy Castor
I too am pissed off at the way they are treating Odyssey Marine Exploration. Call Ms. Castor and tell her what you think.

The Rhetoric Of Violence And Its Consequences
In the last few years there have been a series of violent events by unhinged characters inspired by the paranoia-fueled speech of right-wing leaders. Since each of these incidents is seen as an isolated example of a lone nut, no one has put these events together to see how prevalent these sorts of attacks have become.

Apalachicola Bay Oysters
Let me start by saying i love Apalachicola Bay, it's a beautiful place and i love oysters, raw please. Recently my conservative friend and i were out having a few Yuenglings. My friend ordered a doz. Apalachicola Bay Oysters. I informed him about the dangers of eating oysters from that area. Most people know oysters are Filter Feeders (Animals that feed by straining suspended matter and food particles from water, typically by passing the water over a specialized filtering structure.) With all the oil and chemicals in gulf waters right now i did not think it was a very good idea. Well he ridiculed my advise and ate them anyway. To his health!

Ed Turanchik's Platform
Rehab foreclosed homes. Hold the line on taxes, fees and cost-of-living raises for city employees. Deploy surveillance cameras in crime-ridden neighborhoods. These are policy planks in the mayoral campaign of former Hillsborough County commissioner and builder Ed Turanchik. He touts it as the most substantive yet offered by any of the six candidates for mayor.here
Mr. Turanchik, everything sounds great, except the Big Brother in neighborhoods idea.
Republicans Actually Reading The Constitution
It will cost taxpayers over $1 million dollars for Republicans to recite the entire United States Constitution on the House floor._________________________
Republican Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) said on Tuesday that his party plans to cut $100 billion in spending this year. GOP leadership has said cuts to the US defense budget are out of the question, making key safety-net programs like Medicare, food stamps and Social Security the sole target of their legislative agenda.

We Are Not So Dumb After All
According to a 60 Minutes/Vanity Fair poll released on Monday.Sixty-one percent of Americans polled would rather see taxes for the wealthy increased as a first step to tackling the deficit.
The next most popular way -- chosen by 20 percent -- was to cut defense spending.
Four percent would cut the Medicare government health insurance program for the elderly, and 3 percent would cut the Social Security retirement program.
Asked which part of the world they would fix first, the largest proportion of respondents -- 36 percent -- chose Washington, compared with 23 percent who picked the Middle East and 14 percent who chose Haiti.
Who the hell are the four percent that would cut Medicare for the elderly?
