Sheriff Jack Parker’s Inaccurate OffenderWatch
Leave it to a blogger to do the job of the press, who reportedly have been provided but have chosen not to report the following information.
Brevard County Sheriff Jack Parker –currently seeking re-election–has made a new online tool available for citizens seeking information about sex offenders living in the neighborhood.
OffenderWatch.

PA Smoking Ban Highlights Need for Part Time, Citizen Legislature
Back in the 1950s entertainer Louis Prima did a song about his “confused Italian greyhound” that would bark at him instead of at strangers and howl until Prima took his own albums off the turntable and put Sam Butera records on.
The Pennsylvania General Assembly is starting to look more and more like Prima’s confused Italian […]
Singh-ing freedom’s song: candidate invokes liberty, federalism in challenge to Moran
Republicans in Virginia’s 8th Congressional District can tell you the difference between swimming against a mere tidal wave and crashing up against a tsunami. This ever-changing U.S. House district, which encompasses Arlington County, Alexandria, Falls Church, and parts of Fairfax County has not been good country for Republican candidates over the past decade.
Democrat statewide nominee […]
PA Primary: Diamond on track to score major grassroots upset
Unlike their Democratic brethren who are facing a difficult choice among two equally liberal, indistinguishable presidential candidates, Republican voters in the Keystone State’s 101st legislative district have a much easier choice on their hands.
Incumbent Republican Mauree Gingrich, first elected in 2002, is seeking a fourth term in the Pennsylvania General Assembly. Gingrich faces a tough […]
Massachusetts: An Interesting Primary to Watch
In case I haven’t told everybody yet, I live in Massachusetts (as do, I believe, many other Political Grind-ers). Meaning, I vote on Tuesday. So, who cares? Well, you should. Massachusetts could reveal many things about what an Obama presidency would be like.
A background
In November of 2006, Massachusetts held a gubernatorial election at the end […]
Cambridge Massachusetts vs The Boy Scouts
For those of you from not around here, Cambridge Massachusetts is probably the most liberal city in the country. That may be over stating it a bit, San Francisco is probably still ahead, but Cambridge is one of the most liberal cities in the country, and probably the most liberal in New England. Cambridge is […]
Boston Police to Conduct Warrantless Home Searches
In a time where the left has accused the president of trampling the constitution with his foreign surveillance program, which the left has dubbed the domestic spying program, also known as warrantless wiretapping, I find this story rather interesting. The headline of the story,”Police to Search for Guns in Homes”, is innocent enough, but when […]
Bob Allen Resigns-Sort Of
Bob Allen is playing us.
The Florida state representative resigned– effective February 15, 2008–after his conviction of soliciting an undercover police officer for sex in the restroom of a county park.
Apparently–according to a spokesperson for Florida Speaker of the House, Marco Rubio–that date was Allen’s choice.
Really? He gets a choice?
How’s this sound? Effective immediately.
Marco Rubio […]
Massachusetts Middle School Cancels Field Trip to see Miracle On 34th Street Because of Objectionable Content
McCall Middle School in Winchester Massachusetts recently cancelled a field trip to see a live performance of A Miracle on 34th Street. Why you ask? I’m glad you asked. Because of the objectionable content of the play. That’s right, OBJECTIONABLE CONTENT. It appears as though at least one parent complained about the field trip and […]
Arizona 9/11 Memorial; One Year Later - the Unmemorial
Cross posted from DeMediacratic Nation:
On September 11, 2006 I visited the Arizona 9/11 Memorial at its opening. Following the fanfare led by Governor Janet Napolitano at its unveiling I visited for a closer inspection to read the panels.
Unfortunately I had no camera in hand; I certainly did not expect to have the reaction that I […]
Keystone State GOP Fails to See Danger in Giuliani Nomination
I recently read the a Strategic Vision poll showing 42% of Pennsylvania Republicans supporting Rudy Giuliani for the 2008 nomination. If that isn’t depressing enough, last month a small but influential group of Pennsylvania Republican State Committee officials voted Giuliani as their favorite in a non-binding “straw poll” at their summer State Committee meeting.
Republicans in […]
