Legislators sneak a video slots bill through committee. Oh yes, and it's all for education. Just like the lottery. They think we're two-time suckers. And maybe we are.

Here is yet another sweet and insightful Adair Lara column about the joys and rewards of column-writing for both reader and writer.
Enjoy it because it's among her last columns. After 12 years of excellent work, she is being dropped by the San Francisco Chronicle as a columnist because, according to her husband, hip-and-happening young mangers think her work appeals to the wrong demographics. She's 50. They want someone who will bring in 20-something nonreaders. Somebody a Howard Stern listener can get into.
And they wonder why newspapers are dying.

Get another cup of coffee. Just another way Knight-Ridder is serving you cheaper.

Florida TaxWatch wimps out. Tax reform is a great idea. Just not now. Not through the constitution. After more study. Trust the Legislature to act responsibly once it gets our upcoming reports.

Which candidate for Fla. Attorney General has less less legal experience? That's a tough one. None of the frontrunners look good.

There may be a dumber piece of misguided patriotism floating around the Legislature right now, but I haven't found it yet.
