Townhall Meetings: Allen West Style

At U.S. Rep. West's 5/16/11 Town Hall, GOP congressman & Tea Party favorite is circled by security forces, but still gets confronted by small business owner from his district who publicly takes issue with West talking points on deficit, gets "police escort" out of the meeting, then hits home run with his own simple common sense comments in parking lot.

Jacksonville Voters Put Tampa To Shame

The big news out of a Jacksonville this morning is that it's very possible a black Democrat will win the mayor's race, though the race is officially too close to call. But more interesting to this reporter from a Tampa-centric aspect is the voter participation. The turnout, according to the Supervisor of Elections Jerry Holland, was 36.81 percent. In Tampa last March in the race between Rose Ferlita and Bob Buckhorn, it was a paltry 22.3 percent.

Who Is Our Next Bogeyman?

Two weeks after the world's most infamous terrorist was buried in the North Arabian Sea, there's a central, lingering question in the sanctums of intelligence and military planning: Who are the new terrorist leaders causing U.S. counterterrorism officials to lose sleep?

You Are Not Welcome Illinoisans

As a resident of Illinois, I just thought it would be rude of me not to pass along my heartfelt "thanks.” When you elected Rick Scott, he promised to oppose President Obama's evil socialist agenda. And in February, he put his – I’m sorry: YOUR – money where his mouth was. Thanks to him,

and by proxy, to you (for electing him),

most of that money was reallocated to build that corridor from St. Louis to Chicago instead of Tampa to Orlando.

End The War On Drugs

Since the declaration of a "war on drugs" 40 years ago:

•America has spent at least $1 trillion on the drug war. It cost U.S. taxpayers at least $51 billion in 2009 at the state and federal level. That’s $169 for every man, woman and child in America – and that’s not counting opportunity costs or costs at the local level.
•Millions of people have been incarcerated for low-level drug law violations, resulting in drastic racial disparities in the prison system.
•More than 1 of every 100 American adults is behind bars. In 1980, the total U.S. prison and jail population was about 500,000 – today, it is more than 2.3 million.
