Sh*t happened 3/16/15: Attack mailer, Hunahpu's Day, Valspar Championship


The weekends come and go. Some of them linger; others shoot by so fast we can hardly consider Friday before Monday's here. Let's not allow it all to slip past. Let's ruminate, shall we?

FRIDAY, MARCH 13:

Several members of the Tampa City Council voiced their displeasure over "attack ad" mailers bad-mouthing District 6 runoff candidate Guido Maniscalco by signing an angry letter.

A Lakeland mom was arrested for intimidating a traffic guard at her child's school — for the second time in less than a week. Let's hope she at least got off a good line about her child "being crossed for the last time" as she did it.
