Isn't there some kind of job or recognition we can give Mr. Greco for his contribution to our fair city?
I did not want him to win. But now i feel sad about his lost.

Her daughters Genevieve Almodovar and Selena Glass appear in this video to ask motorists and bicyclists alike to follow the rules of the road and watch out for each other.

Not Six Foot Rule Bob Buckhorn
On the eve of a live televised debate in the mayor's race, Ed Turanchik endorsed Bob Buckhorn, saying his former rival is "best prepared to lead Tampa."

Mr. Turanchik should have kept his mouth shut like Mr. Greco did. I think i'll sit this one out.

Ed Turanchik and Kelly Benjamin
I read Michael Hussey's post and what he has to say about Ed Turanchik and Kelly Benjamin. I do agree we need to push every democrat to the left. I disagreed backing a progressive candidate is a waste of time.
Out of 190,000 plus eligible voters in Tampa, only 11,566 (district 6) of them bothered to show up.
The 7,221 that voted for Charlie have spoken for everyone in district 6, his campaign didn't even have an e-mail address. The sad part is Benjamin's campaign took to all the media fronts and only 4,345 of us made it to the polls. Not good.
Other races were the same. Felita 10,802, Turanchik 8,104
Reddick 3,314, West 1,140

The Lovely Bones
Is a 2009 American drama film directed by Peter Jackson. The film stars Saoirse Ronan as Susie Salmon, alongside Mark Wahlberg, Rachel Weisz, Susan Sarandon, Amanda Michalka and Stanley Tucci.
"My name is Salmon, like the fish; first name Susie. I was 14 years old when I was murdered on December 6, 1973. I was here for a moment and then I was gone. I wish you all a long and happy life."
Don't listen to the critics, great film.

One For The Road
Time For Total Recall In Florida
It has been suggested by some disgruntled citizens of the State of Florida that Rick Scott bought the office of governor with his great big gobs of cash and false promises - what some might term fraudulent promises. It may be too soon to discuss impeachment (an option that remains on the table),
but State Rep. Rick Kriseman, D-St. Petersburg, has filed a bill that would allow voters to recall state legislators or state office holders, including the governor.
