Prescription Drugs Kill More People than Illegal Drugs

Medical results out of Florida show that more people are dying from legal drugs than illegal ones. The Florida Medical Examiners Commission released autopsy results from 2007 that found that prescription drugs killed 3 times as many people as all illegal drugs combined.
In 2007, there were 168,900 deaths in Florida. 2,328 of these deaths were […]

Clinton Campaign Overstating Florida Turnout

Last night Hillary Clinton scored a big victory in West Virginia, winning the state by a whopping 67%-26% margin. A 41% victory by someone trailing nationally in polls by 4% to basically the presumptive democratic nominee.
Obama currently sits at 1,882 delegates, just 143 delegates short of the 2,025 needed to win. Of course, the Clinton […]

HBO’s Florida Recount Movie

Hey, remember that fiasco that happened back in 2000, when we elected Al Gore as president but got George “pretend cowboy” Bush instead. Well, now you can relive that moment on May 25th with the HBO film Recount starring Kevin Spacey, Dennis Leary, Laura Dern and Tom Wilkinson. What a great cast! I can’t wait […]

Around Some Political Internets

More jobs heading to India, this time it’s debt collection!
Yet another scam…People claiming to be the IRS, asking for your information so you can get your “tax refund.”
Why the health care debate might be a steamy load of crap.
What’s this about a congressman claiming a $300 campaign tab for “lodging” at a bar with no […]

Get Ready to Take Your Gun to Work Florida!

Get ready Florida…soon it’s going to be bring your gun to work day…every day! The Florida state senate voted 26-13 on to a bill to prohibit workplaces from barring employees on packing heat. Specifically, employers will not be able to ban workers from bringing a gun to work and keeping it in their car; so […]

John McCain Wins Florida, Hillary Clinton Declares Victory

Florida has spoken early and they’ve spoken loudly (well, for the votes that counted anyways). The good news-the most qualified republican nailed a critical victory; the bad news-he’s also the most boring republican left (hence why I’ve written about him the least).
Giuliani suffered a hilariously crushing loss in Rudy Country and after spending over $35 million is […]

Mike Huckabee Campaign Rally…God Bless Playoff Beards!

Yesterday I didn’t just show up to “support” Rudy 9/11’s rally, but I also did so for Mike Huckabee (good friend of The Colbert Report). There was a John McCain rally in downtown Tampa in between but I was unable to make that one. Like Rudy, Huckabee also held his rally in an airplane hanger, except […]

On the Florida Campaign Trail…Rudy ‘9/11′ Giuliani

 
Rudy ‘9/11′ Giuliani is in the last throws of his presidential campaign so I figured I would go check him out at today’s Clearwater/St. Petersburg airport rally. It’s ironic that Rudy “tough on terror” Giuliani would hold this important rally in an airplane hanger where there was no absolutely zero security to enter. I thought my laptop bag might […]

Two Douche Bag Florida Senators Speak Out on Voter Turnout

Here’s Florida Senators Bill Nelson (D) and Mel Martinez (R) standing side by side doing this odd political thing called bipartisanship. Their joint venture here is to encourage voter turnout from all Floriduh voters. Mel Martinez says “don’t be fooled that your vote won’t count.” Umm, actually…if you’re a registered democrat your vote truly will […]

Early Voting in Florida

If you’re a Florida voter, chances are you have something in common with this man, you’re old and confused. Coincidentally, this man is also on the republican ballot and you can vote for him. He holds some belief about going back to the olden’ days where people traded in gold rather than deflated US dollars.
Anyways, both […]
