As promised, Internet Explorer users may now pick a BlogWood theme that is optimized for IE. Just go down to the bottom of the right column and click the IE link under Theme Switcher. I’m still working out the kinks, so let me know if it’s strange. Also, Firefox users will not enjoy the IE [...]

Coming soon….
April 25, 2005
More actual posts! Low activity levels of late are directly related to the changeover last week to WordPress. I’m modifying templates and doing lots of other housekeeping chores in order to improve your BlogWood experience. I’m especially hoping to get a template online that will allow Internet Explorer users to actually see the name of [...]
SP Times gives undeserved credence to Baxley’s unverified claims
April 22, 2005
Thin skinned Rep. Dennis Baxley has been in the news lately as a pro-feeding tube, anti-family GOP thug. He’s also been acting as a water boy for David Horowitz’s dishonest drive to fix liberal bias in the nation’s colleges. Like Horowitz, Baxley is short on actual facts and big on unverifiable anecdotes that he says [...]
Tampa Police get their children
April 21, 2005
I’ve been strongly critical of Tampa Police Department’s pursuit policy, which essentially encourages highly trained adults to provoke inexperienced teen drivers into engaging in dangerous Hollywood style car chases, but I’ve got to admit that at times the policy seems to work. Today, for example: a cop chased an SUV full of teens onto a [...]
Educators don’t make way for lame duckling
April 21, 2005
Our lame duck Gov. is starting to meet some resistance from those whom he would fuck. These are groups who might have historically simply rolled over and shut their eyes, gritting their teeth and taking it like a man as Jeb! moved in and violated their most intimate values. But now, Jeb!’s power is on [...]
GOP knows best – now shut up and do what you’re told
April 20, 2005
Leading up to last November’s election, we were repeatedly reminded that the GOP is well practiced at inventing and exaggerating cases of voter “fraud” in order to gain a tactical advantage. They have used the same methods to push laws demanding multiple forms of ID from voters, to scrub voting rolls, and to place poll [...]
ACORN follows through
April 20, 2005
Last month, there was a real possibility that Florida’s cold hearted business oriented low wage Republicans would drastically weaken the new minimum wage amendment that voters mandated last November. Well, ACORN, a key backer of the amendment, went to work and Republicans must have realized that they had no legal ground to stand on, because [...]

GOP inaction hurts Florida kids
April 19, 2005
As BlogWood readers know , Florida’s GOP dominated legislature managed to discourage so many sick children from enrolling the KidCare health insurance program that millions in unspent federal dollars will probably have to be returned. Today’s SP Times article implies a sense of urgency, but there’s been widespread awareness of this problem for at least [...]
GOP moves to protect sexual predators
April 19, 2005
That’s right: amid all the “get tough” talk emanating from lawmakers’ orifices, a bill that would force a victim of incest to go to her father and seek permission to abort his child has strong backing and will probably pass despite its questionable constitutionality. The SP Times weighs in on the anti-women’s rights bills working [...]
