The possible 2014 gubernatorial battle royale between Rick Scott and Charlie Crist continues to sizzle, as the Republican Party of Florida has begun its campaign of contrasting the two men on their past records as governor of Florida.

In an new image that the Florida GOP has just put out, they outline the fact that under Crist’s watch,  832,000 jobs were lost and the state unemployment rate rose from 3.5%-11.1%.

BURLINGAME (KPIX 5) — A restaurant on the Peninsula that offers several exotic animals on the menu has stopped serving lion meat following an uproar online.

Owner Jason Li said he received numerous complaints through the restaurant’s Facebook page. After two days, Li pulled the king of the jungle from the menu Saturday night and apologized on the restaurant’s website for offending anyone.

The colorful world of politics never cease to amaze me, especially when religion gets thrown into the mix. Today in North Miami, voters will go to the polls to vote in a new mayor.

 One of the seven candidates vying for mayoral, Anne Pierre, is saying that she has been harassed, threatened, and even has even been a  victim of a voodoo attack. Pierre said that she has received the endorsement of Jesus Christ, and has made him the core of her campaign, after she found “chicken feathers and candles outside of her office.”

When I was twelve years old, I had a conversation with my mom that I'll never forget. I was being my perfectionist self, trying to put together a flawless assignment for school. Somewhere in the middle of the poster board, I ruined it. I was completely disgusted with myself. Dad lifted his glasses, squinted, and I knew that the error looked as big to him as it did to me. After all, my perfectionist tendencies had been inherited from him.

I remember beating myself up about it for awhile. Dad, in keeping with his logical and pragmatic nature, spent some time analyzing ways I could draw lines and shapes around the error to make it less obvious. We both obsessed about it ad nauseam. After about an hour, mom walked in. She had clearly been listening from upstairs. She made us stop what we were doing, looked me in the eyes, and said, "Mistakes happen. That's why they made erasers."

I consider myself relatively brave. For example, if Pinkberry introduces a new flavor, I’ll sample it. I won’t think about it.  I’ll go right in with very little regard for my personal safety.  Despite that level of courage, I do have fears…weaknesses.

And that reality came crashing down on me yesterday afternoon at Reagan National Airport in D.C. when I realized that there was a tragic error made with regard to my seat assignment.  I go to great lengths to procure an aisle seat. I have a mild case of claustrophobia and I’m not a fan of flying to begin with.  On my boarding pass there is generally a C or a D to signify an aisle.  This time I was staring down at 15 F.  A window seat.  A 5 hour plus flight. 15 F.

The Democrats are up to their typical shameless attempts at trying to capture personal information  from constituents by asking people to sign a Mother’s Day card for Michelle Obama. Michelle’s card will not be sent to her with your name unless you fill out the “required” email and zip code fields.
