For most of us, our psycho-ex’s biggest offenses are sending locks of their hair in the mail, leaving 20 minutes long voice mails with self-penned poetry, or posting Photoshop manipulations of what our kids might look like on our Facebook walls long after we’ve broken up. Unfortunately though many have…
How insane was Dirty Dozen alum Victoria Jackson’s appearance on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show last week? Well it starts out with Jackson proclaiming, “I’m so happy to be on, I’m your biggest fan. Fox news! Yay! The Only One with the truth! Yay!”Another panelist asks her, “Where are you…
You know what Howard Dean did in his first few months as chair of the DNC? He raised $86.3 million and started working on his 50-state strategy. You know what Michael Steele has done so far as RNC chair? Turned himself into a political sideshow with his dumb feuds with…
Did you hear openly gay North Miami Mayor Kevin Burns running for Senate? Silly gays, you can’t even get married or adopt children. What makes you think you can be Senator? Actually, it’s kind of sad that a he’s become the “Gay candidate,” and he wants to clear that up. The St. Pete…
Somewhere, sometime ago in one of the many wonderful comments we get, someone accused me of blindly following MSNBC in my political mumblings. Which was funny to me because at the time I didn’t watch much of the channel, and had never seen an episode of Countdown or The Rachel…
2016 so, so far away. We’re not even sure if human civilization as we know it will exist then, but it’s never too soon to make outlandish presidential predictions. We’re dreaming of a Crist vs. Clinton matchup. At this point, I don’t see a Crist 2012 run as a reality…
Gallup, Healthways, and America’s Health Insurance Plans have teamed up to create a state by state, and congressional district by district well-being index. The index is based on the World Health Organization’s definition of health as “not only the absence of infirmity and disease, but also a state of physical,…
Back in December, we wondered out loud if Charlie Crist’s love of diversity would leave the Supreme Court with a more balanced ideological outlook. That seems to be pretty much what happened. Last year, the Governor found himself in the unprecedented situation of picking four Supreme Court justices within a span of less than a year. He first replaced two bonafide, Bush-appointed…
By wide majorities, Americans love stem cell research. According to Gallup numbers 64% find it morally acceptable, and 52% support easing the restrictions or having none at all. Today, your president Barack Obama repealed his predecessor’s strict limits on stem cell research, which created a bunch of bureaucratic, red-tape hassles for scientists (I thought the red…
Frederica Wilson and her extensive hat collection have pretty much done everything they can in Tallahassee. The Miami democrat has served in both houses of the State legislature, and now she’s made it official that she’ll be seeking the congressional seat Rep. Kendrick Meek is leaving behind in his quest for…
Remember Andy “Obama Half-Breed Muslin” Lacasse? Of course not, it was over 9000 news cycles ago. The poor redneck from some hell in Central Florida put a misspelled, sharpie sign in his front yard. Well another idiot in Fort Walton Beach, Larry Ford, has a misspelled anti-Obama sign, though it’s…
Rush Limbaugh and Alex Rodriguez both have their past drug struggles with pain killers and steroids respectively, they also both have multi-million dollar pads in South Florida. That is where the comparisons end to the untrained eye. But Robert Zimmerman, a volunteer for the DNC and a PR czar, says…
Sick and tired of the rumor that Charlie Crist is considering jumping into the Senate race in May, one Republican who’s not destined to be a fringe candidate, has jumped into the race. It’s our own Marco Rubio. Maybe he got restless, considering he’s had a pretty campaign website since…
Meet Pamela the PTO Mom. If more media covered state politics with the same passion and obsession as national politics and more people cared, she’d be Florida’s anti-Joe the Plumber. Pamela Hennan, a St. Augustine Realtor and dedicated school volunteer drove all night to address the House Finance and Tax…
When Barack Obama announced Joe Biden as his running mate, America responded with a resounding, “oh, ok.” He’s an experience, competent guy, don’t get us wrong. And by all accounts he made some serious contributions to getting the cabinet together, but it seems that Mr. Biden has returned the Vice…
Rush Limbaugh, as you know, has been busy running the Republican party from his West Palm Beach radio studio. Too bad he can’t seem to even get the support of another prominent, conservative talking head from the Sunshine state.If anyone didn’t believe Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough’s denial that he…
The proposed debate between Matt Damon and eminent conservative windbag Bill Kristol never went down, but that hasn’t stemmed the hopes that Damon may be up for a public political showdown. Seems Mark Weaver over at the Florida Progressive Coalition Blog (as pointed out by our juicy brethren) thinks Matt…
So maybe this took about as much insight as it would to predict that Rosie O’Donnell wouldn’t win Ms. America, but it still feel good to be right. Friday we had this to say of Ol’ Charles Crist’s chances in the CPAC straw poll: “If Crist comes in anywhere else…
The Conservative Political Action Conference is taking place in Washington, DC this week and has already been dubbed the “the comedy festival of the year!” Noted public intellectuals (and more than a few 2012 hopefuls) like Ron Paul, Michelle Bachman, Newt Gingrich, and the Anti-Crist himself, Bobby Jindal will or…
More interesting Senate ’10 internet developments have unfolded since we posted our “Battle of the Net Roots All-Stars” (or whatever we end up calling it). Kendrick Meek has relaunched his outdated, old website as KendrickMeek.com. The whole thing isn’t live yet, but it’s being developed by Blue State Digital, the…
Poor Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal can not catch a break. Everyone from freebase-Twitter addict Rick Sanchez to semi-Conservative Columnist David Brooks is criticizing his speech on Tuesday night, in which he tried to channel Ronald Reagan, but ended up coming off more like Kenneth the Page. Now Miami Mayor Manny…
I think MSNBC takes a sick delight in putting the most ridiculous Republicans on their programs just to let them sprout all sorts of nonsense. So naturally, Tom DeLay, the disgraced former Republican house majority leader, stopped by Hardball with Chris Matthew last night to face off against former Democratic…
