In terms of political makeup, Hillsborough County consists of a blue dot (Tampa) adrift in a sea of red (Plant City, Temple Terrace, unincorporated rural and exurban areas).

Stand on your chair, and steady yourself with one hand on your cubicle wall. Now stretch up on your toes. That's it. Can you see that, way the hell over there? That's Friday.

Good morning! Guess who's coming to dinner, South Tampa. FRIDAY, FEB. 3: St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman pretty much declared the 'Burg a sanctuary city on his blog.

Wait, so, a badger saw Beyonce's sonogram and that means in six weeks her twins will be born on Facebook Live? That makes absolutely no sense.

Give him a chance, they said. He may surprise you, they said. In the two weeks since Donald J. Trump has been president of these United States, he hasn’t exactly done that.
