In Tallahassee, as Legislators gather for a special session, Jeb! is saying ‘Trust me,’ but some are actually questioning the wisdom of assuming a Bush has a good plan and the intent to earnestly implement it. Medicaid reform is on the table. The agency that has been working on Jeb!’s plan says it’s too hard [...]
Wal-Mart’s evil plan
October 26, 2005
Don’t be fooled by the rhetorical crap spewing forth from orificial Wal-Mart sources. While the company publicly claims to have seen the light on environmental issues and has even come out in favor of raising the minimum wage, internal documents reveal the truly sinister nature of the evil behemoth. The AP reports that Wal-Mart is [...]
Trib to employers: Stand firm against equitable pay
September 12, 2005
Bemoaning the low Florida unemployment rate, the proudly conservative Tampa Tribune offers some unsolicited advice to those poor business owners who just can’t seem to find anyone to fill their underpaid, overworked, benefit-free positions. Not surprisingly, neither fair wages nor finding someplace other than the newspaper’s classified section in which to advertise are mentioned as [...]

Ybor Wal-Mart deal collapses
May 26, 2005

So the news that they wont be building a store near Ybor City near Ybor City anytime soon is good – anything is better than a Wal-Mart. But they’re not just gonna go away, and I fear [...]
Miller motion almost makes it
May 5, 2005
Opinion: Notebook: Vote was too good to be true Anyone who thinks honestly about solving America’s health care crisis understands that someday, somehow, the law must require everyone to be insured. For a few teasing moments this week, so did the Florida Senate. During debate on the Medicaid bill, Minority Leader Les Miller of Tampa [...]
Wal-Mart skates
March 19, 2005
I’m glad NathanNewman posted about this, because I hadn’t gotten around to it yet. Wal-Mart Buys “Get Out of Jail” Card Prosecutors announced they were dropping all criminal charges against Wal-Mart for its use of contractors employing undocumented workers in exchange for paying an $11 million fine, a hefty sounding amount but a pittance for [...]
Wal-Mart values cheap PR
March 4, 2005
The headline implies that Wal-Mart is giving $5 million to a local hospital, but it’s worth reading the article to find some interesting details. First, this is not an altruistic and selfless act: Wal-Mart will receive tons of good publicity, something they are actively seeking right now, and the emergency room will forever be stamped [...]
