You'd think it would be common knowledge that you're not supposed to take things that can be used as a deadly weapon onto a plane — especially, say an item whose express purpose is to cause death or at least signify potential causing of death. But alas. In four separate incidents on Tuesday, according to…
In Florida, women pay extra taxes. Why? Because it hasn't occurred to patriarchal leaders that basic necessities unique to the female experience perhaps ought not be taxed. Florida is one of the nation’s many states that imposes a tax on tampons, pads, and menstrual cups. In Florida items deemed medically necessary are exempt from the…

Did you know April 26 is National Golf Day, National Pretzel Day, National Help A Horse Day AND National Richter Scale Day? Of course you didn't. I'd be terrified if you did.

*Looks Tuesday in the eye and does that "come at me" gesture like Morpheus in The Matrix* Do you pine for the days when there was a Democrat in the White House, our region of the state wasn't constantly on fire and there was always a monkey on the loose somewhere around here? Well, you…

Republican U.S. Senator from Florida Marco Rubio has eschewed town hall meetings with constituents in recent months (if not years) — so much so that critics have held mock town hall meetings to express their concerns over the way he votes.

Good morning, how was your weekend? If you'd like to hear serial creeper and fired guy Bill O'Reilly rant about how he's a victim and white privilege doesn't exist while probably and ironically saying creepy, borderline-racist things at the same time, he's releasing a podcast episode tonight that's only available to premium members of his…

Will the last one out this evening please remember to turn off the week? Thanks.

Happy 4/20! Heh, pot. (Sigh.) A big ol' gator wreaked havoc on early morning Veterans Expressway traffic yesterday, mainly by just being a big ol' gator on the Veterans Expressway. Which is kind of like Boston traffic coming to a standstill because everybody saw a guy walking out of a Dunkin Donuts… Enduring symbol of…

On a recent Saturday a dozen or so of us struck out on a Sierra Club outing to explore the 6,500-acre Serenova tract in western Pasco county. The county commission there wants to build a four-lane highway through the middle of the preserve. We were determined to explore and document whatever we could to aid…
For years now, watching local leaders talk about transit has been like getting stuck in a traffic jam on the Howard Frankland. Of which we’ve seen plenty in recent weeks. For various reasons (crashes, fires, Rays games), the normally 40-minute commute from CL’s offices in Ybor to St. Pete has morphed into a two-hour trek…
Or at least that is what those who are in the know will tell you. Our bus system is so meager, with approximately 180 active buses operating in Hillsborough County, the second largest jurisdiction in the United States, that it seems every person with a driver’s license must & does operate their own personal vehicle…
Newly unemployed splotchy pundit Bill O'Reilly has some extra time on his hands in the wake of his firing from Fox News.

Go to St. Pete Beach on a weekend in high season at around sunset. Chances are, at some point along the expanse of sand and water, you’ll find thick patches of garbage, left behind by beachgoers out of carelessness or because nearby trashcans were already overflowing.
