Wasn't sure if this should have been here, or in the Education section, so I took a gamble. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/osceola/orl-honkerfired1307sep13,0,5116664.story

Article here Step 1: Give away antibiotics.....Step 3: Take over the world! This appears to be a really great move. Give away inexpensive Rxs, and bring people into the store who may have otherwise gone to another pharmacy. While there, "hey why not pick up some x, and I could use some y...

http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/local/broward/sfl-churricane13jun13,0,4183214.story?coll=sfla-news-broward A 50,000 Watt radio station is being excluded from official Hurricane warning information. Idiots

I subscribed years ago to several Conservative outfits. They continue to send me e-mails, even though I've repeatedly tried to unsubscribe. Now, they normally get zapped out with the rest of the spam. Still, for some reason, employer's e-mails to me have also wound up with the spam, so I've...

[Moved from "The Girl with 'X-ray' vision" thread] See Minority Report -- http://www.manhattan-institute.org/html/thernstrom06-17-02_pr2.htm Excerpt: "Dr. Abigail Thernstrom, a member of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, testified today before the Senate Rules Committee that the...

I just saw an article that Domino's Piza magnate Tom Monaghan is creating (created?) a town/university in Florida called 'Ave Maria' in which the inhabitants must adhere to a strick Catholic life-style. How is this to be enforced I wonder? Anyone for the Florida Inquisition? Seems as if...

The trend of removing science from education is now at full speed. The government of Florida wants to allow students to sue individual professors who they personally disagree with. They specifically mention the persecution of students who believe in intelligent design. Worse, they want to...

When I hear mothafunking Patrick J. Buchanan saying that Kerry shouldn't concede the race or Ohio because he could still win it - Yeah, Pat Buchanan! - I have to wonder: should he (Kerry)? There is still about 8% of the vote out - roughly 400,000 votes outstanding with the current red lead of...

I saw Jimmy Carter on ABC News the other night. (Yep - he's still around - the worst president of the 20th century.) He was complaining about the election preparations in florida, where they now have mostly electronic touch-screen voting machines to replace the famous hanging chads from the...

In a Washington Post editorial, former President Jimmy Carter says, among other things, Reuters article on same And just to prove it is an international story, the AlJazeera version.

This is great news!!! Our prayers have been answered!

http://www.sptimes.com/2004/09/11/Decision2004/Did_Bush_camp_err_on_.shtml You would think Florida would make a special effort to get it right.

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=564&ncid=564&e=1&u=/nm/20040913/ts_nm/campaign_florida_dc Hmm...this sounds really fishy to me. I think last week they ruled that Nader couldn't be on the ballot because the Reform Party didn't qualify as a National Party. Now they're using...

From St. Petersburg Times: Woo hoo! No repeat of 2000! Has the "media watchdog" finally done its job for once?

This is of course about the obvious event and I am restarting it because of the discussion on another thread with Sundog. I will open with the link from CNN: http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2001/florida.ballots/stories/main.html

Or maybe just walk briskly. Hell, a lazy saunter should be fast enough. The good news is that these giant snails aren't monkeypox carriers. :D

...and Michigan, and six other states. In the ultimate loonie union, Ross Perot's Reform Party has endorsed none other than Ralph Nader for president, apparently giving him instant access to the ballot in eight states. Ralph mulls options while Democrats yank hair Ralph 'n Ross in '04? Dare...

Don't mess with the Pasco County (unnamed) sheriff's deputy--he don't take no sh!t from anybody: http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/South/04/09/girl.handcuffed.ap/index.html

My alma mater, Florida State University, needs only Governor Jeb Bush's signature on a bill to receive authorization to open a college of chiropractic. I hang my head in shame. On another message board, a fellow Seminole did some research on the academic requirements to become a "doctor" of chiro:

I'm not paranoid (and who's going around saying that I am?) but I have a big problem with the so-called solution to the hanging chad. No paper back-up even though there's millions of verifiable lottery tickets sold every day. If there's a question in the next "selection" I believe this is going...
