Today’s reason to laugh…
Not political, but funny nonetheless: The Landlord
Lately, we’ve been buzzing about oil drilling and how that will impact Florida’s beaches, tourism, the ecosystem, and the economic bottom line. However, there is another issue related to Florida’s beaches and the case is being heard by the United States Supreme Court. The case is Stop the Beach Renourishment [...]

Is Senator Nelson trying to appeal to both sides of the aisle? He will garner Democratic support with an anti-drilling stance but surely his negative views on Obama’s efforts to revive our struggling national economy will broaden his appeal to a more conservative voter?
Unlike the Republican Party, the Democratic Party [...]
You disgust me.
Sitting there with your perfectly moist turkey, covered in thick, delectable gravy, your heaps of creamy white potatoes drowning in fresh-drawn butter. The crisp green beans, steaming out of a roiling tub of ham hock juice. The fluffy, buttery bread, the carrots soaking in all manner of brown sugar. The can of cranberry sauce.

Florida Congress Watch: George LeMieux And Republican Party Of NO Try to Stop Discussion of Health Insurance Reform In Senate
Florida Congress Watch: We Stand Corrected And Apologize…”>We Stand Corrected And Apologize..
For years, one of the biggest challenges facing Progressive Democrats in Florida and nationwide has been the inability to unite and work together to accomplish common goals. Too often, liberal organizations and individuals have stayed busy fighting their own chosen battles, or worse, competing with or combating one another without [...]

Republican political opportunism. That, in a nutshell, is the Sunshine State’s worst and not so well hidden tax burden.
Two stories that broke in recent days help highlight the shameful mess that the Florida GOP has made of both the state’s economy, and its tax code.
Some will object to such finger [...]

[...]Two things you should know about this edition. First, without boring you too much with inside baseball-type stuff, there was a fairly interesting back-and-forth on the Florida Progressive list-serve recently on the issue of the Stupak Amendment and whether or not an elective abortion represented “healing.” (Yes, it was [...]
I have been doing some letter writing to elected officials in the wake of recent Congressional activity. In anticipation of the Senate taking up the health care legislation, I wrote a letter to Senator Nelson’s office via email. Now, I have worked in legislative offices at the state and federal [...]

People telling me that their definition of “progressive” is the only valid definition of progressive and saying I’m a bad person for disagreeing with them.
One follow-up to MW’s earlier post that stuck in my mind. Like I said most of what he wrote was just nonsense personal attacks on me. [...]
Below is the text of Mark’s comments about me. I’m not going to respond to him point-by-point, since he’s not the type to listen anyway, but I’ll just say that, as usual, he’s wrong about just about everything in this post:

These are pictures, quotes, policies, etc., that either helped make me become a liberal, made me stay a liberal or emphasize liberal values to me (or show why the other side is wrong, emphasizing my liberalness). Today’s example:

From the PCCC:
This week, “Blue Dogs” and other bad Democrats voted to kill health care reform. They betrayed us on this core Democratic issue.
It’s payback time.
