An Ocala Republican wrote to U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday asking her to move congressional votes scheduled for Thursday evening and Friday so House members from Florida and Oklahoma can go to the BCS national title game. Rep. Cliff Stearns did not attend the University of Florida, but his district includes the Gainesville area. An excerpt from his letter says: “Members of the Florida and Oklahoma delegations have expressed interest in attending the (BCS) game as the congressional schedule allows. We ask that you move-up these (Thursday-Friday) votes to allow Members to attend this historic game." Pelosi's office said she would not agree to the request. (Full Story | Audio)

Is this guy a cool, every working man’s man, or an idiot who makes Florida once again look like a bunch of morons?
He's a man's man.
He's a CHUMP that's going to make us look like idiots. Again.

The new Belgian owners of Anheuser-Busch announced Monday that Busch Gardens will end a 50-year tradition and stop handing out free beer samples to park visitors. The taps will stop flowing Jan. 25th and the company's nine other theme parks, including SeaWorld, are also expected stop pouring in the coming weeks. The change is obviously not popular with everyone, "We're out here paying gas money, paying the (amusement park) taxes, driving all the way over here. They need to give us an incentive to want to come here." (Full Story | Audio)

The new owners say the idea is to enhance the park's appeal for patrons of all ages. Will it?
Yes – It makes it more family friendly
No – Families aren’t offended by the samples
The new owners are liars. It’s a cost cutting measure that has nothing to do with enhancing appeal.

A new express lane has commuters in Miami skipping past the painful rush hour traffic on I-95 - for a price. Drivers can pay anywhere from 25 cents to $6.20 to travel in the new lane for six miles at or above 45 to 50 mph, guaranteed. The more cars in the lane, the higher the price goes, so that more people drop out of the lane. The High Occupancy Toll lanes - or HOT lanes - are praised by urban planners, environmentalists and many drivers. But other groups hate the idea, saying that it only benefits the privileged calling them, “Lexus Lanes”. (Full Story)

This is _____.
A) Brilliant urban planning
B) A bull s*** rich person lane

A court in Australia has ruled that a mortgage lender can use Facebook to break the news to a couple that they have lost their home, leading some to believe that social networking Web sites are now threatened with turning a little more anti-social. The ruling came after a lender went through weeks of failed attempts to contact the borrowers, both at their home and via email. Some people are concerned that such court-approved contact with their social networks could amount to a violation of privacy. (Full Story | Audio)

Do you think this will soon be implemented America?
Yes – If you are dodging your lenders, they have every right to track you down.
No - Lenders can warn you via Facebook but they can NOT officially serve notice that you’re out of your home.

  • Obama Shirt.
    About that kid who wore the Obama shirt, one he's 11 so he probably doesn't even know what the hell he's talking about anyway and he probably just heard his family say that at the dinner table. Good, congratulations it's awesome to see someone standing up for what they believe in but you really don't need to protest about Obama AT SCHOOL. Also if you're going to hate someone it shouldn't be off of such weak grounds, I'm sure that the 11 year old boy isn't that up to date the candidates of an election that he can't even vote in... and if he was he'd probably be smart enough not to wear that shirt to school. The shirt doesn't even look like a kids hand writing! Mom, Dad?

  • Muslims vs Mcdonalds
    I am all for equall rights, freedom or religion, and everything else we are supposed to stand for as Americans! But, to wear a hijab is going against the work uniform, make an exception for them and others will want exceptions too!! Honestly, they probably knew Mcdonalds wouldn't hire them..and puposely went in there with intent to sue!! They do not deserve special rights because of religion...Some catholics and Christians still work on Sunday which is their Holy Day, otherwise every one could make up reasons to have exceptions....I am fat I shouldn't have to wear my striped shirt at footlocker when I go in to work..., but I do!! Other religions conformed for modern America...bout time they do, or buy your own land, and go live like the Amish....they don't have to get hired anywhere...the live off the land!

  • Child Rape not Capital Punishment
    Child rape is just like murder. When a child is abused sexually, the child/person that could have been dies. They are never the same person!
