Rick Scott's Florida Prisons: 50 Is The New 70
In prison, 50 is the new 70: Lifetimes of poverty, limited access to health care, untreated mental illness and addiction leave inmates in such poor health that 50 is the formal definition of an elderly prisoner in Florida. here

For Our Blue Pill Friends
There are none so blind as those who will not look. If you are one of those who will look, take a look around. You are surrounded -- surrounded by millions who will not look. These are the blue pill people. Who are these blue pill people and why won't they look?
“The Matrix” may be only a movie, but it presents some scenarios with much relevance to our current situation. In the movie, Neo meets Morpheus and is offered an opportunity and a choice. Neo can take the red pill and see the truth for himself, or he can take the blue pill and return, comfortably unaware, to the illusion of the Matrix. There he can live out his life undisturbed by the truth.

"Most of our old friends are Blue Pill people. They are so selfish they are more interested in drinking beer, watching sports and other crap on TV, playing poker on the computer and posting nonsense on Facebook then what kind of a future they are leaving their children.
You guys, you know who you are! It doesn't really matter right? You will be dead and gone.
Let your kids deal with it you selfish assholes."

Marco Rubio's Criminal Organization
Corinthia College Inc. is the bankrupted and criminal organization that Marco Rubio was defending just this past year, probably because he got a boatload of money from them in campaign organizations.
Earlier this year the Obama administration forgave almost half a billion dollars in federal student loans that were fraudulently acquired. here

Marco Rubio Out-Stupid's Himself

Bob Buckhorn Blocks Janelle Irwin On Twitter
Or one of his staffers with access to his social media did. Or he told them to. In any case, I can’t view any of Buckhorn’s tweets. And this guy is rumored to be gunning for the Governor’s mansion. Rick Scott may be slimy, but at least he doesn’t go blocking every reporter who refers to him as Skeletor or Voldemort. here

Jeff Brandes who is an arrogant bully and doesn't deserve our respect. He looked me straight in eye and lied about the TBX costing only $3B and that it would pay for itself. He claims, "people are coming, we need to add capacity". Follow the money on this, someone is getting a kickback. It's shameful." Mario Nunez

Dana Young: Is smart and hot! Too bad she is GOP
John Legg: Was more interested in his cell phone and eating his nuts

The Kriseman Administration Takes The Lead
Big news for ferries in Tampa Bay. The City of St. Petersburg is taking the lead to establish St. Pete to Tampa service during the tourist season. They have set aside $350,000 of BP spill funds to match it. It's a great use of BP funds, which are supposed to compensate for economic harm in our region resulting from the BP spill. So we could see seasonal ferry service running on weekends and evenings starting in 11 months and while the National NCAA Football Championship is here. This could be a big boost to getting the MacDill-South County commuter back in the fast lane. Many thanks to Mayor Kriseman and the St. Petersburg City Council for their unanimous support for this bold move! here
