YA CAN'T SQUEEZE BLOOD...

I was reading Blog For America today and saw this interesting post:

Wanna stick it to the Man?
Wanna demonstrate to corporate america that you are tired of businees as usual?
Wanna show the religous right that you are tired of them twisting and exloiting compassionate principles?
The right may campaign from the Bible but they govern from the pocketbook...
Its time to throw the money-changers out..
Boycott Christmas.

I actually feel like one of the respondants who replied:

I can't boycott Christmas...no money.

CYPRESS GARDENS OPENS...IRONS OUT THE GLITCHES

At long last Cypress Gardens Adventure Park opened Friday, but not without some slight problems. That's part of why they call it a "soft" opening. Not all the rides are in working order yet, and some of the food venues weren't ready for the preview. But Kent Buescher is saying everything should be ready by next weekend. If the crowds from yesterday are any idea, he should do rather well with it.

HOW 'BOUT A REAL CATFIGHT???

Small town politics can sometimes make it's big time counterparts seem like a walk in the park. People have disagreements, get their feelings hurt, and generally take things much more personal in a small town setting. That is the case in Eagle Lake, a small town just south of Winter Haven.

Two women who served together on the Eagle Lake City Commission, Peg Crittendon and Suzy Wilson, are headed back to court again in their ongoing feud dating to their time on the board before Ms. Crittendon was defeated for reelection last April. Ms. Crittendon has filed ethics complaints against four of the five city commissioners, including two against Ms. Wilson.

Ms. Wilson was previously granted a restraining order against her former collegue, keeping her at least 50 feet away at all times. Now she has filed a civil lawsuit against Ms. Crittendon, citing alleged slanderous remarks made to a fellow commissioner and a reporter claiming that Ms. Wilson was a drug user and had come to commission meetings high.

Maybe we just need Vince McMahon to make a stop in Polk County and resolve this...
