Great H. L. Mencken's ghost, teabaggers and Governor 48.9%, how can you fundamentally fail to realize cutting jobs hurts the economy and, by the way, leads to injuries, deaths, at least 1 suicide of a child in state custody, and still no one can find Rilya Wilson, a missing black child.
Juvenile Justice centers to close: [Two Central Florida facilities are among five juvenile detention centers that will be shut down after recently approved statewide budget cuts, officials said.
The Florida Department of Juvenile Justice announced last week that the juvenile detention centers in Osceola and Seminole counties will close by June 30.
Officials said that statewide, 1,229 positions will be eliminated, 500 of which are currently vacant. A spokesman said the agency is working to help laid-off employees find new jobs, either with the state or elsewhere.]
FL Dept. of Children and Families lays off 500 workers: [By Ana M. Valdes, The Palm Beach Post
10:24 p.m. EDT, May 26, 2011
[Twenty-six employees at the state Department of Children & Families in Palm Beach and Broward counties were told Thursday they will lose their jobs by the end of June, as part of a statewide plan to cut 500 positions at the child welfare agency.
Employees from DCF's support services office, human resources, information technology, the substance abuse and mental health program, adult protective services and the Access program, which administers food stamps, were affected, said Perry Borman, director for the Southeast Region of DCF, which includes close to 1,300 employees.] Yeah, like in FL we take great car of our vulnerable children already. (Links to follow but just too damn angry now.)
Of course, taking care of vulnerable kids gets loads easier when "authorities" (Dr,'s paid by makers of the drugs)dope kids up on anti-depressants even though drugs not approved for children: [...Doctors prescribed heavy doses of antipsychotic drugs for children in DJJ custody even before the drugs were deemed safe for kids.
Seroquel, for example, wasn't approved for kids until late 2009. Between mid-2006 and mid-2008, DJJ bought at least 217,563 tablets of Seroquel for children in the department's custody.
The state has no rules requiring drug companies to disclose payments to doctors. DJJ has no policy requiring contracted doctors to disclose conflicts of interest. In overhauling health care last year, Congress enacted a measure that requires all drug companies to disclose payments and gifts to doctors. However, that part of the law won't take effect until 2013.] emphasis addd
Even wayward teens who almost might have dabbled in drugs--maybe MARIJUANA!!!--knew such extreme dosages amounted to drug abuse by psychiatrists: [Florida has plied children in state juvenile jails with heavy doses of powerful antipsychotic medications.
The pills, widely viewed as the "big guns" of psychiatry, can cause suicidal thoughts and other dangerous side effects.
Yet, in state-run jails and residential programs, antipsychotics were among the top drugs bought for kids - and they routinely were doled out for reasons that never were approved by federal regulators, a Palm Beach Post investigation has found.
Reacting to the newspaper's findings, the head of Florida's Department of Juvenile Justice ordered a sweeping review of the department's use of antipsychotic medications. As it stands now, DJJ doesn't track prescriptions and has no way of telling whether doctors are putting kids on pills simply to make them easier to control.
"This is a very important issue," said Broward County Public Defender Howard Finkelstein, whose office represents children in juvenile court. "If kids are being given these drugs without proper diagnosis, and it is being used as a 'chemical restraint,' I would characterize it as a crime. A battery - a battery of the brain each and every time it is given."
In some cases, the drugs are prescribed by contract doctors who have taken huge speaker fees and other gifts from makers of antipsychotic pills, companies that reap staggering profits selling medications, The Post found.
The medications have poured out at such a rate, said one former inmate, that even a confused teenager could tell that this wasn't how things were supposed to be.] emphasis added

Gil Scott Heron Saved My Life With "B Movie," RIP
In the dark days following the election of a barely competent B Movie actor in November 1980, Gil Scott Heron spoke truth to people, that Ronald Raygunz' so called mandate amounted to just above a quarter of the electorate.
Mandate? Mandate my ass!
Within a month, 3 American nuns and a Catholic lay worker died at the hands of a Salvadoran death squad, brutalized and raped.
A former Salvadoran National Guard commander implicated in the cover up legally came to America while nuns and priests in the US found themselves prosecuted for trying to help victims and targets find sanctuary from the US sponsored death squads in Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador.
The election ushered into government an era of documented criminality unsurpassed perhaps by even the Cheney administration for at least the latter had fig leaf of 11 September attacks to cover assaults on the US Constitution.
Nevertheless, despite the media missing the issues at the time, the Revolution did find new form with Artists United Against Apartheid, with "Sun City" (pop up version).
On the vinyl platter, Gil Scott Heron sang, "Let Me See Your ID."
Never in a million years did sane people think S African apartheid era pass laws would come to America, speecifically in AZ.
So the struggle renews afresh, the working for the dignity of every breathing human starting with the least powerful of us.
Yes, the revolution will not air on television for it begins in our hearts in desire to make things better for all children everywhere.
It continues as we reach out, make human connections, and organize, not just on Facebook but where people live, in the schools, our union halls, the streets of Madison and Tallahassee, wherever the powerful try to strip what little dignity remains for the downtrodden,

FL. Siesta Beach on Siesta key Named Best Beach in United States
[Dr. Beach, aka Dr. Stephen P. Leatherman, Director of Florida International University's Laboratory for Coastal Research, releases his Top 10 Beach List before Memorial Day each year. Siesta Beach, on Siesta Key, a barrier island southwest of Sarasota, has been playing bridesmaid for two years now, but earned top honors in this, the 21st year of Dr. Beach's rankings.
"Siesta Beach in Sarasota boasts that it has the finest and whitest sand in the world, and I cannot argue with this claim," Leatherman said of this year's winner. "The powdery sand is nearly pure quartz crystal. The beatiful blue-colored water is clean and clear, making it so inviting to bathers and swimmers."]

Errant Weapon Injures 4 Inside Restaurant
Update: Received email from Orlando Sentinel reporter, David Breen, who identified the weapon in question as Springfield XD-9 9mm pistol. Although description found at this link describes a 40 caliber rather than a 9 millimeter, seems like a process requiring pulling the trigger to field strip a pistol amounts to a design flaw rather than feature.
"I don’t think so. I can still envision a scenario in which while holstering an XD, the grip safety could be depressed, the trigger could catch on the holster in some way, and an accidental discharge could occur. The XD is simple, like a Glock or a revolver. All you have to do to fire it is to pick it up and pull the trigger." http://www.sightm1911.com/lib/review/XD-9_Tactical.htm
Yes, xd in Springfield XD 90 stands for extreme duty, and guess the guarding of an Orlando Smokey Bones Restaurants counts as "Extreme Duty," only a couple steps removed from Seal Team 6.
Fellow Voters, have you failed to notice the spate of accidental firearms discharges around the county coincides with easier concealed weapons license and open carry laws around the country?
You stand a better chance of getting shot by a fellow citizen than having an armed person ride to your rescue like the Lone damn Ranger.
Don't own a Glock!
Don't keep a round in the chamber!

Thinking of bringing your gun out to dinner with the family? A man who did just that this evening ended up injuring four people, himself included, at a Smokey Bones restaurant on East Colonial Drive in Orlando.
The victims, including a 4-year-old boy, were slightly injured when the gun went off accidentally in the restaurant's foyer, Orlando police said.
The owner of the gun, a 35-year-old man who was not identified, suffered powder burns and abrasions to his leg. He declined medical treatment.]

RepubliKKKans Kill Cripples
[Activists asked Tom Corbett to talk about his draconian cuts to services for the disabled. Instead of acting like an adult and discussing their issues with them he sent out the capital police to make sure they didn't go into his office. For several hours the activists held a sit-in and chanted outside the governors office with promises of being back after the legislative break.]

Windows Crappy Software: Free malicioius software removal tool

[Dear Daniel,
I’m going to ask you something that I haven’t asked in over six months. Would you please make a contribution today to our campaign?
It’s hard to believe, but it’s been more than six months since the 2010 election. Six months in which we’ve learned a lot about the right wing in America, and what they do when they have power.
I lost the election last year, but I didn’t slink away. I’m still fighting for what’s right. You saw that in the fight against tax cuts for the rich. You’ve seen it since.
I am asking for your help because our campaign received two bills, well after the 2010 election, each for over $15,000. They weren’t in our campaign budget, but these are legitimate bills, and it’s time that we paid them.
I’m not going to tell you that there is some deadline, or some desperate need, or matching funds, or anything like that. Just that we have two vendors who have been very patient, and it’s time that they were paid.
Courage,
Alan Grayson]

Guinness Tastes Better in Ireland
Well duh.
[. All Guinness sold in Ireland is made in Ireland, so the travel miles are minimal in comparison. Meaning an Irish pint of Guinness is probably the freshest on offer.
2. Guinness is a popular is almost every watering hole in Ireland, which means there the draw on the lines is regular, which in turn drastically, increases the quality of the stout.
3. In Ireland the Guinness is usually only sold in a proper branded glass, which is the perfect shape and volume for a pint. You wouldn’t expect to be served a glass of Chardonnay in a tumbler while in Napa Valley. Same thing applies for Guinness in Ireland.
4. A publican outside of Ireland is more unlikely to have the correct combination of gases. Guinness has a carbonated level less than half of a normal beer and the perfect pint involves a precise blend of carbon dioxide and nitrogen.
5. Working in an bar anywhere in Ireland, one of the first things you learn to do is pull a pint of Guinness. Tilting the glass as you pour, allowing enough time for it to settle before topping it off with the perfect head, is a skill acquired by few but mastered by the Irish.
6. Like most beers ales, Guinness must be served at the correct temperature. The beverage will fail to release its full flavor if it is too cold.
7. Guinness representatives are on call in Ireland if there are any issues and also make regular visits to ensure that the lines are clean.
8. Nothing compares to the feeling of authenticity when drinking a pint of Guinness in the country where it originated.
9. Scientists have proven that nothing compares to a pint of Guinness stout in Ireland, after an extensive study.
10. Guinness is to Ireland what lobsters are to Maine, what pizza is to Italy. It is one drink that is served with pride in Ireland.]

right after she left
and you know she still loves him too"
The Who--"I'm Free"

I don't mean no stinkin' Facebook neither. Go to where people live, struggle, hunger--literally hunger for food. Children in A-Merry-Ca go to school hungry and can't learn as well as when well nourished--sweat, bleed, and cry for help.
Especially for we who aspire to become christians. Jesus did not "Like" anyone on Facebook but went and ate with sinners and healed the sick and confounded the rich and confronted the pharisees.

The heart-warming stories that have emerged from the evolution of the Hubbard House are as big and comforting as the house itself. Since opening in January 1994, the Hubbard House has served thousands of families facing the extra burden of finding convenient and affordable temporary lodging in times of crisis. Take a look and you'll see why the Hubbard House is "home" to so many warm memories.]

A Yellow Dog Democrat Praises Dan Webster R FL-08
As a progressive union man, have oft said a yellow dog would get my vote before a Republican.
From whence this springs I know not: maybe blessed by birth in Milwaukee, WI, in 1958; perhaps Pilot Mtn, NC, my dad's ancestral home, where park benches had labels for Democrats and Republicans; possibly because even at the tender age of 10, I knew Richard Nixon as a liar.
Oh, some Republicans have gotten my votes: Andy Gardiner who helped me get food stamps once and whoever runs against our District Attorney, whom I consider a corrupt SOB, possibly pursuing higher political office by prosecuting Casey Anthony to the fullest extent of the law.
Nevertheless after a cordial return phone call from a Webster staffer, had to admit to him that not once in 2 years did any person on Alan Grayson's staff return a phone call or even an email.
Of course, my BFF Grayson, former US Congressman FL-08, still sends me emails seeking cash.
Thanks but no thanks, Al.
So Mr. Webster, you may never get my vote, but then again, neither will Alan Grayson.
Thanks for the response and your embracing the communicating process in your contentious Conway town hall voters' meeting.
