Florida Amendment 2-The Great Debate Part 1

April 18, 2008February 2, 2010 John Amendment 2, Constitutional Amendments, Fairness for All Families, Florida Constitution, Florida Family Policy Council, John Stemberger, Nadine Smith

At the end of March, Nadine Smith, Co-Chair of Fairness for All Families, took on John Stemberger of Florida Family Council at the Orlando Tiger Bay Club for debate on the Amendment 2, the Florida Marriage Protection Amendment. Basically, he got his ass handed to him by Ms. Smith, but I don’t think she was aggressive enough. The event was videotaped, and posted on Youtube in four parts. This is the first in a series about each of the four segments of the debate.

Guns Guns Everywhere, and Not a Bit Safer

We now have “take your gun to work” here in Florida…not just on a specific day, but everyday, and we’ve got airline pilots shooting through the cockpit with their TSA issued handguns due to another idiotic TSA procedure.

The Battle in Florida is Joined-Amendment #2

March 31, 2008February 2, 2010 John Amendment 2, fl, florida, Florida Constitution, Florida Legislature, Marriage, Marriage Protection

This will be the first in what I expect will evolve into a series of articles related to the upcoming election and the vote on Constitutional Amendment #2. This is the krazy kristian kooks attempt to have a large conservative turnout in Florida, so instead of fielding a worthy candidate, they go for the devisive issue. Amendment #2 is, of course, a “marriage protection” amendment for the Florida Constitution.

Ditching Daylight Savings Time in Florida?

March 29, 2008 John Bill Posey, Daylight Savings Time, Florida Senate, Jim King

It seems that State Senator Bill Posey wants to end Daylight Savings time in Florida. According to him it’s just too much trouble to change all the clocks and watches. Of course, just wait until you have to figure out what time you have a conference call. We have people in Central time, and that gets confusing sometimes. I’m scared to think what it will be like to have a different time than the rest of the east coast.

News for the Week of January 18, 2008

January 18, 2008 John balls, Burger King, Citrus Park, genitalia, Hamburgler, Lakeland, Lionell Spruill, Police Dog, Ralph Contopoulo, Robbery, Virginia

This is a wrap up of the minor and unusual stories from the news for the week ending Friday, January 18, 2008. Not surprisingly we find some wingnuttery going on in the Virginia State Legislature. A Lakeland police officer “accidentally” unleashes his police dog on a 14 year old girl, and a 13 year old girl robs a Burger King at knifepoint for a cheeseburger.
