The Grand Old Party (GOP) Is Dying

There are two certainties in life: Death and taxes. Right now, both are enemies of the GOP and they might want to worry more about the former than the latter. here

3 million Republican voters could be dead by 2016 election

Florida GOP John Mica: Amtrak 'Soviet-style operation'

Less than 24 hours after the New York-bound train crashed, the Republican-led House Appropriations Committee voted to reduce grants to Amtrak by $252 million -- a drop of about 15% from last year's level. Mica suggested on CNN that opening the commuter rail market to private investment was the solution to what he called a "third-world rail system ... run in a Soviet-style operation." here

Pathetic Journalist Adam Smith Of The Tampa Bay Times

Several weeks ago, a highly placed source within Patrick Murphy's campaign bragged that Chuck Schumer would drive Alan Grayson out of the Florida Senate primary by unleashing a barrage of opposition research about his business dealings. Schumer, easily the sleaziest Democrat in the Senate-- who is desperate to please Wall Street banksters by delivering the open Florida seat to Murphy-- twisted a perfectly innocent SEC filing into a smoking gun of corruption. He then hired Queen Helena's p.r. assistant to find a pathetic "journalist" willing to run it up the flag pole and get the tongues wagging. Schumer did well in planting his bullshit bombshell with lazy would-be muck-raker Adam Smith from the Tampa Bay Times, who was eager to make the story about himself. here

Disgusting Subhuman Jason Falbo Of Palm Beach

Pointed his riding lawnmower towards a family of ducks and ran over them, the heartless man then turned around and ran over the ducklings again, while laughing and giggling about it. He was booked and charged with nine counts of animal neglect. He could not provide any explanation for his actions.

Please sign the petition and urge the authorities to impose the maximum penalty available by law in this case. here

Florida's orgy of incompetence and waste

We have House Republicans who want nothing to do with the Affordable Care Act — and who are willing to raid state reserves to make ends meet.

We have Scott who 

has sued the federal government and has enlisted a high-powered attorney, Paul Clement, who has made headlines for charging clients as much as $1,100 an hour. (More than some uninsured Floridians make in an entire paycheck. State officials confirmed Tuesday that taxpayers will be footing Clement's bills. here

Local Treasure Marisol Marquez Of Raíces en Tampa

Growing up, before walking into class, I'd scrub my hands with soap and water to try to take off the green-tint, caused by cutting asparagus. Every morning, from February to July starting at 2 am - 6am I'd work the fields before school started. If I didn't scrub my hands raw, my school papers would turn green. here

Anybody But Patrick Murphy

With all the bad press our man  Alan Grayson has been getting lately, here, here and here, we thought we would turn you on to someone else you might like. Since we,
don't have our shit together. 
Again, we will not support Patrick Murphy. Mayor Kriseman we are very
disappointed with you.

Kim Bruns Of George & Dragon British Pub In Orlando Knows Black People

Kim Bruns, who owns the Orlando George & Dragon British Pub was arrested last weekend after holding a young black couple at gunpoint while hurling racist comments and threatening to shoot them, according to police records. here
She denies the charges and explains that 
she knows black people and she’s totally not racist. 
She refused to allow police access to surveillance footage from the incident and more disparaging remarks were made later at the police station by Bruns.

The Citrus Taliban: Sheriff Grady Judd

Polk County Sheriff and part-time pastor Grady Judd delivered a guest sermon at First Baptist Church on the Mall last month — it was called “Wouldn’t the World be Better if Everyone Behaved Like a Christian” — and he didn’t do it as a private citizen. He delivered it while wearing his sheriff uniform, suggesting that he was speaking 
as a government official. here

This is a man incapable of separating church and state. He’s shown it time and time again. He equates Christianity with goodness, which doesn’t bode well for people looking for justice who don’t believe in his imaginary friend.
