Big, big day:
- Howard Dean, Rahm Emanuel kiss and make up … OK, they don't quite go that far, but the two leading Dems did reach an understanding.
- Another ass-kissing Tribune editorial about Mayor Pam. This time in defense of not cutting taxes. Just trying to head off the coming …
- TAX REVOLT!! day two, it hits Hillsborough County. And Pinellas schools. And Davie.
- For media junkies: New York mag looks at the Gray Lady's Bill Keller. A great read.
- I'll hand it to Mayor Pam: her sense of humor is intact. Dig Kelly's T-shirt in this shot.
- Now that he has won the Republican primary and is in safer waters, Sarasota congressional candidate Vern Buchanan has dropped his objections to unsealing an old court case against him.
- Two days old, but a pretty good take on Jim Davis' problems out of the chute.
- The left wing weighs in on welfare and personal responsibility.
- Fallout and analysis from the Sen. Lincoln Chafee win in R.I. This was another case of the supply-side-conservative Club for Growth trying to take out a moderate Republican, and the national party fighting against it.
- More MSM embarassment.
- "… and by one quick call, I mean call the downtown number, listen to 15 minutes of hold music and finally get a live person who doesn't seem to give a shit if you have Al Capone's testicle in olive oil with a chocolate ganache, he ain't there to help you.)"
