It’s Not The Depression

By Bryan • Nov 30th, 2008 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

By Chris Guy • Nov 30th, 2008 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

via Politico:
The triumvirate of Gates, Clinton and Jones to lead Obama’s ‘national security team’ instills great confidence at home and abroad; and, further strengthens the growing respect for the president-elect’s courage and ability to exercise sound judgement in selecting the ‘best and the brightest’ to implement our nation’s security policies.

Share a toddler’s terror today

By Tim • Nov 30th, 2008 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

It’s bad enough that this Tampa Tribune columnist, learning nothing from her own 15-month-old’s frightening encounter with a shopping-mall Santa, proceeds to offer six ways to “handle this emotion-fraught meeting” — none of which is don’t freaking do it at all.

Maybe spanking a 16 year old wasn’t such a great idea

By COD • Nov 30th, 2008 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Bad idea: Trying to spank your 16 year old daughter.
Parenting Fail: Having her arrested for assault when she punches you in retaliation.
Law Enforcement Fail: Arresting the daughter. Dear old dad should be in the lock up right now.

By Matt • Nov 30th, 2008 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

It’s been a while since the website was updated. After the August Mead meeting at Kybecca (and the two days it took to recover), we had an Octoberfest beers meeting at Virginia Wine Experience in September. I really liked the setup Edwin Wyant has up…
