GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump says his long and hard fight for freedom has come to its sweet end, and he won.

Sh*t Happened 10/11/16: Florida voter registration extended, Largo underage booze-sales bust, Goodwill bows to the clowns
Do you know how many Americans call in sick the day after Columbus Day, hung over and sore from pillaging and land-stealing? Almost none. Is that progress? Well, let me ask you this: Do we still have a Columbus Day? After the Democratic Party sued in the wake of Hurricane Matthew's disruption of so many…
As registration deadline looms, Rep. Castor, Planned Parenthood Action Fund head urge USF students to get out the vote

Florida reacts to Trump’s latest thing — well, some of it, anyway
So, maybe the Bible doesn't make much mention of how it is not OK to grab someone by the p****. Hell, back then, men were probably encouraged to do so, after which the victim would be publicly stoned for adultery. Or something. Still, Donald Trump's having advocated that as a method of seduction at which…

Despite uneventful forum, Crist has a good day in the race against Jolly
With Florida's Atlantic coast facing Hurricane Matthew's wrath, even on the Gulf Coast it seemed weird to be talking about partisan squabbles.

So fracking what: Are GOP lawmakers’ incongruous views on fracking cognitive dissonance or common sense?
For a state with an economy that relies on a pristine environment, Florida sure has a lot of people who support using highly pressurized water, acid and sand to crack miles into the Earth’s crust in pursuit of fossil fuels. For years now, state lawmakers have been weighing a bill aimed at regulating hydraulic fracturing…
