Sorry, can't join the bash Bush bandwagon here. I was alive to remember the Jimmy Carter era. I was also around for the Nixon era and if you look past the "scandal" he did a lot for the country in the area of international diplomacy.

I am also disturbed that a teacher would be willing to abandon a classroom of 15 students and leave them unattended. What was the teacher thinking?

It does sound like a good idea, but a logistical nightmare. I have had will call tickets for both concerts and theater events, even a 1000 will call would be difficult to handle at the booths that are currently set up at arenas. Now if they set up ticket machines kinda like the airlines use for chec...

Exactly what service is it you provide? You jam the lines up with as many homeless guys as you can hire to see how many of them get lucky and get tickets and force the real fans to hope they hit a lottery rather than just buy the tickets they showed up for on the sale date. What kind of delusional,...

The fact that the brokers are able to purchase tickets and sell them at a much higher price indicates to me that Jimmy still is not charging enough for his tickets. BTW, I'm one of those scumbags. I start all my auctions at face value and let the market decide the final price. No handling fee only $...

I agree, I am annoyed that it is news in Miami and the tone of the article. Sounds like the KW businesses are recruiting the black plague

Is this a problem? It's just an article about Key West...not trying to upset anyone :roll: Like it or not, it is no being realized the potential of the gay demographic, many are dual income families with no kids and tons of disposable income. It is about time that this demographic is accepted.

That is the last song I would have thought would be the state song for FL. State songs are overrated, as are the state tree, state bird, state flower and other state objects. I am sure that whatever the state chooses to replace this now objectionable song, will be replaced in another 150 years becau...

Hopefully with this news he decides not to seek the republican nomination. I'm disappointed but not surprised. Still hoping the republicans can come up with a candidate. (No I don't believe any of the front runners would make good presidents. They might win but wouldn't be good.)

I don't know, with the reputation of the breed, using them for service dogs is a little careless IMO. With all the wonderful German Shepards, Goldens, Retrievers I think it is a bad idea to attempt to introduce a pit to the general public.
