Stan Zimmerman’s report: $148 million spent on economic development
If you missed Stan Zimmerman’s report in today’s Pelican Press newspaper — about the $148 million, 148 MILLION DOLLARS, FOLKS, that Sarasota County has spent in the past two years on economic development give-aways, incentives, tax breaks (I just call them BRIBES, and always have, though those are strictly my words, not Stan’s) — anyway […]
Great Scott the Scalawag — let’s get to work … right after I blow a few mill on a party for myself
So Rick Scott “can’t wait to get to work” — his words on the night he was elected Governor in Florida. Remember his campaign promises — reduce spending, balance the budget, create 700,000 jobs? But one of his first priorities is planning his inauguration celebration — and getting special interest groups to pony up $25,000 […]

Attack Ad “Facts” are Fiction
I dig what Nancy Feehan, candidate for District 70 Florida House, had to say about her opponent Doug Holder’s recent negative television ads which say she’s lying when she talks about his voting record. (She’s not lying — check out the links below if you want to see his voting record). “While it’s disappointing that […]
Super Scary Walking Dead– aka the Non-Voters
Zombie is too kind a word to describe the catatonic state of mind of America. I’m talking about the interior state of its intellect, obviously. Because the mouth and the eyes and the jangly arms and legs, and the hyper-extended eyebrows, are all still popping and bopping like Micheal Jackson Thriller dancers on crack. I […]
Doug Holder’s Attack Ad is Amateur-Hour
Doug Holder, with his new laughably doltish and amateurish attack television ad against Nancy Feehan, has dug a new hole for himself.
Vote for Sink … because with Scott we’ll be sunk
After the Sink/Scott debate last night … after all the sad, sad ads — it seems clear to me that neither gubernatorial candidate is anywhere near, really, what I’d want in the person who governs the Sunshine State. Allegations of fraud, malfeasance, a morass of contradicting finger-pointing … all reveal a kind of stomach-turning nostalgie […]
Nancy Feehan’s Major Mojo — it’s going to take her from Siesta to the State House
Tonight I co-hosted a get-together at the Old Salty Dog on Siesta Key — with Gene Jones, President of the Florida Veterans for Common Sense organization. It was a “Meet & Greet” event for State House District 70 candidate Nancy Feehan.
Join MC Monday at Salty Dog on Siesta Key — to meet Nancy Feehan
Monday, October 18, 530 to 7 pm, I’m going to be at the Old Salty Dog on Siesta Key, chatting with area residents and voters and listening to Nancy Feehan — candidate for State House District 70 Representative. I’ll be making introductory remarks (brief!) and then Nancy will chat for a few minutes. Gene Jones, […]
