Expect liberals to go into full-court press over the next few weeks with Mediscare.
This is a tried and true tactic – using scare stories and lies about entitlement programs, especially Medicare.
Florida is a key state, and condos in South Florida are full of elderly people who are afraid...
Who will win the presidential election? I have no clue.
Political conventions are an anachronism. Pure show in the hope of swaying voters who haven't made up their minds.
In that vein, the Republican National Convention in Tampa – if it isn't rained out – will be worth watching.
It will give Mitt Romney a chance to present himself to the public...
College presidents across Florida might benefit by watching and learning from the media/union attack on the president of Florida State College at Jacksonville.

Pew Center on the States said in a 2007 study: “Florida is a...
No matter how the Trayvon Martin case turns out in the courts, it has left a permanent stain on the media, which hardly needed any more blemishes.
George Zimmerman was tried, convicted and figuratively executed by the media before it was even determined whether a crime had occurred.
Pundits piled on...
Finally, there is reason to get excited about rail travel in Florida.
This comes after years of claims that taxpayers must pay for trains because the private sector -- meanies who only think about profits and not important things liberals want like windmills and bike trails -- would never run passenger trains.
