Over a chilled glass of freshly squeezed Florida red grapefruit juice, two eggs poached medium, rustic toast from Pane Rustica, applewood smoked bacon done extra crispy, Indigo coffee fresh from the drive-thru and a hyp-full of China white heroin, here are your hump day offerings:
- The 100 Hours agenda of House Democrats doesn't really help poor blacks and Latinos.
- The St. Pete police chief, who ordered a tent-slashing raid on the homeless, has ordered a review of the matter, to be conducted by the major whose idea it was to slash the tents. Everyone OK with that? Sure.
- Just more quality growth management from the Hillsborough County Commission.
- Ferlita apologizes for her silence in the Robert E. Lee debacle. Anyone else on the board want to say something at this point?
- Part 1 of a new Trib series, "The Painfully Obvious." Tomorrow: "Driving the Howard Frankland at Rush Hour Difficult."
- In the insurance special sessions, Charlie and Marco had an 11th hour standoff.
- I don't understand; why wouldn't he run?
- Still giggling and biting my lip from the item directly above.
- David Gregory freaks me out, too.
- Who is ahead for '08?
