Florida GOP Ben Albritton Read A Book!

"We want to be very careful of course in providing speculation or personal opinion on something that may be out 5, 10, 15 or 30 years from now," he cautioned, "and not building concrete ideas or concrete decisions around this table on something that might be speculation." here

Write The FWC: No More Black Bear Slaughters

Florida's bear hunt – authorized and championed by Gov. Scott's Fish and Wildlife Commission (FWC) - was a dark day in the history of our state. 

----------

Gov. Rick Scott’s Fish and Wildlife Commission (FWC) just completed their cruel and widely condemned Florida black bear hunt, and it was an unmitigated disaster. They were forced to end the hunt early after the state’s quota of 320 bears was nearly met in just two days. In the eastern Panhandle nearly triple the state’s quota of bears for that region were killed.

These numbers don’t even account for the orphaned bear cubs that will be unable to survive without their mothers, or the injured bears left to die in the forest, or any illegally killed undersized bears that went unreported. Unbelievably, despite this horrific debacle, Gov. Scott’s Fish and Wildlife Commission is already planning the next black bear bloodbath. Email the Fish and Wildlife Commission and demand they call off future Florida black bear hunts. here

Want A Bigger Penis? The Tea Party Can Help

Check out the e-mail they sent me: 

Why Black Guys Are So Much Better Endowed Than White Guys.

Ever wonder why black guys are so much better hung than white guys? One researcher did – and what he discovered is shocking

It turns out there’s a very simple reason why black guys seem to be so “blessed” down there… But it’s not genetics.

Instead, it’s actually 100% due to the foods they eat from a very young age. And if you think that sounds crazy…

Then you need to watch this short video now.

Inside, you’ll see the scientific proof that literally ANY man can still add additional length and strength without pumps, creams or pills. Plus, you’ll also be given the specific ethnic foods that I guarantee you hardly ever eat… But that will make your little man grow faster than Pinocchio’s nose. Seriously: if you think this sounds like a joke, you HAVE to watch this short video now. I thought the same thing when I first heard about this… But the growth I’ve seen since I started adding in these ethnic foods is just unbelievable.

Florida Power And Light Customers About To Take It Deep, Again!

Florida Power and Light is about to rack up another giant bill that customers 

will end up paying for. 

 ----------

FPL got state approval to charge customers for more than $241 million in “advanced recovery costs” for two more nuclear reactors at the company’s aging Turkey Point plant in Miami.

Now comes news that FPL is trying to get customers to foot the bill for another expensive, dubious project — a new power plant near Lake Okeechobee that’s projected to cost a whopping $1.2-billion.

A billion here, a billion there, and we end up paying the costs every month for the rest of our lives. The price tags are so high, our children and 
our grandchildren will still be paying.

The kicker is that the power plant that FPL wants to build near Lake Okeechobee is not even necessary. here

Cuban Spies In Ybor City

Everybody wants the Cuban consulate established in Ybor City. Much of the Tampa Bay area business and political establishment and the Hillsborough Board of County Commissioners. Then along comes these two wild and crazy Hillsborough Republicans. 

Danny Alvarez and E.J. Otero.

----------

Alvarez said: “I am quite sick and tired of the Tampa Chamber of Commerce and its like pushing a money-driven agenda veiled in false promises of freedom for the Cuban people. It’s amazing how blind one can become after a few mojito-laced walks through Ol’ Havana on “fact-finding” missions guided 

by a government handler.”

And then Otero makes a fool of himself with this: 
"If a Cuban consulate was established in Ybor City, potential spies for the Cuban government could end residing just four miles away from 
Mac Dill Air Force Base." here
Mr. Otero you gotta lay off those John Grisham novels!

Maybe we should make them members of the

Tourist Beware: Florida Law For Intimidating And Shooting People

Tourist Beware

The Florida GOP, never one to leave bad enough alone when it comes to gun safety, is returning to the state’s notorious Stand Your Ground law to make it even easier for defendants to use it as 

a shield for intimidating and shooting people. 

Senate committees approved legislation this month 

that would relieve defendants of the need to prove that they were in fear for their lives. Instead, prosecutors would be required to disprove the self-defense claim. here
