Tampa Mayor Signs “Independence From Oil Day”
Now, therefore, I, Bob Buckhorn,…, do hereby proclaim July 4, 2011 as ‘Independence From Oil Day’…and encourage all residents to try bicycling and walking as a form of transportation that protects the environment and in acknowledging all those involved in this campaign for their commitment.”
Julie Bible And The Pegasus Lounge
An out of town band's shitty time at The Pegasus LoungeNow look... I'm not usually one to judge something based entirely on one experience, but with that said, I'm pretty sure Tampa is a shithole. Now if you're from Tampa or you like Tampa or you have family from Tampa, please don't be offended. I'm sure there are good people and good places in Tampa, just like with any place in the world. But the Tampa we saw yesterday was just a rundown desperate shithole with shitty people and shitty places. But maybe I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's start from the beginning.

Saint Petersblog Subpoenaed by FDLE
Pushing Rope is saying Peter Schorsch of Saint Petersblog was subpoenaed by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement over a comment (Wish someone would put a bullet in the fuckers face already!) someone left on his blog. He asked Schorsch some questions.here
The Communications Decency Act of 1996 makes clear that no internet service provider or web site owner is responsible for someone else's speech.
The FDLE care about this?
Primitive Florida
With the Florida GOP giving our money to the wealthy and corporations, you might want to think of alternatives. One is growing your own food. It's easy. Check out Seminole Heights Community Garden. In Pinellas visit Bartlett Park Community Garden for help. Homefarming.com is also very helpful. Pics courtesy of The Gardener On Broad Street.

This guy reminds me of Joe Kotvas.

A Message From Saint Petersblog
Dear Readers:The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has alerted me to a comment which was published two days ago on SaintPetersblog.com. I am not going to give credence to the comment by re-posting it, but it included a violent threat against Governor Rick Scott. I have more than willingly supplied
the FDLE with the I.P. address of the commentor.
As much as I may disagree with the politics and policies of Governor Scott, the man is a public servant and deserves a certain modicum of respect. If you don’t respect the man, then respect the office.
Accordingly, please refrain from making threats, of any kind, to not only Governor Scott, but to any politician. I cannot monitor every comment that is made on this site, so if this becomes a problem, I will have to modify or disable the commenting system, which takes away from the interactive nature of SaintPetersblog.com.
Thank you.
Peter Schorsch
Speaking of threats, the FDLE should check this out.

Imagine Peace
Take the "Pink Slip Mad Lib Challenge!"
It seems Pink Slip Rick can't get real Floridians to write letters to local newspapers in support of his radical agenda, so he's written a letter himself, and he's begging his tea party followers to simply copy and paste it in an email.

An Atheist-Free Polk County

Stogie's All Star County Commission
Jan Platt - Pam Iorio - Kevin Beckner - Linda Saul-Sena - Ed TuranchikImagine, a county full of mass transit, bike paths, pedestrian friendly, jobs, our environment protected, the homeless problem resolved with compassion. We need people who can look beyond their own stupidity, people with vision of the future. People who look out for everyone, not just the few. Who knows, we could get mention in the same breath as, Miami, Atlanta even New Orleans. Instead we are nothing but what the late great Neil Rogers use to call us a nose-picking town. We might even get a cool nickname.

Did You Know Hillsborough County
Is under federal supervision under the Voting Rights Act Due to past practices that were found discriminatory to Hispanic voters;
the county must submit its new district map to the Justice Department for approval. Federal officials need to closely examine a map that waters down the clout of urban voters and minorities.
There is a way to draw fair districts, and this isn't it.

Republicans enjoy a super majority on the Hillsborough County Commission,
and they look intent on keeping it.
These People Are Shameless.

Potsabilities of Wesley Chapel
Meet Shabana ChurrucaI have always had a love for the creative arts dabbling occasionally in painting on canvases and doing various arts and craft projects. Recently, I began painting on terracotta pots and found that I was able to combine my love for spiritual balance and whimsy on the pots. Professionally, I am a psychotherapist and work to help people overcome obstacles in their lives. For me, painting takes me out of my cerebral analysis and into cerebral creativity.

Retired Hall of Fame Blogger Tas
"Obamabots", The "Professional Left", And Total FabricationsRegardless though, when push comes to shove in November, 2012, I'll likely give Obama my vote again. I remember the mantra on the Naderite hard left in 2000 that there wasn't a difference between Bush and Gore, and, well, they were wrong. I'd rather have a weak Democrat in office than a Republican of any stripe.
