[Protesting just makes by blood boil] I think this poster, like many Americans, can’t distinguish protesting the war from protesting the troops. That’s sad. |
|
|
|
I just figured out why gas prices have skyrocketed to almost $4 a gallon and are likely to be $5 before the end of the summer. The Bush administration is allowing the dollar to collapse in order to push up the price of oil. This way it will be easier and faster to pay for the war with Iraqi oil revenues just like we were promised seven years ago before the U.S. invasion of that sovereign country. I knew Bush had a strategy to pay for the war "on the cheap" just like Rumsfeld suggested. These guys are so smart that I just might vote Republican in November. |

Sandra Downs, could you please tell us all why you think you are qualified to run our county sheriff's office? Could you elaborate on your experience? It seems the whole basis of your campaign is smearing the Peryam family. At least Capt. Peryam has a lifetime of experience and dedication to serving this county. I don’t have a problem with two consenting adults having a little fun. It obviously hasn’t hurt him in his role as Capt., he has risen to number three in command at MCSO. I do have a problem with a tree trimmer thinking they can magically run a giant sheriff's office with virtually no experience. |

Pick your poison – go down the tubes via big business and the Arabs or take some small risk that can be eliminated by good solid engineering and build nuclear power plants. The solution will take ten years if we start now. This will require our government to help manage this solution. Big business with their greed (oil and car companies) will never do this themselves. As an electric power engineering student 30 years ago we studied this in school and knew it would happen. Do-gooders stopped the construction of nuclear plants 20 years ago and the car companies make more profit on large oil guzzler cars, so here we are up S**t Creek. |

I was touched by the musician who phoned 911 for the failing black man. Philosophically, he's where we should all be. And I'm reminded (on the 40th. anniversary of Hair) of my friend who was a broker at the time who stopped to help the "hippie" on the turnpike, who was having motor problems. Everyone else just bolted by him. The hippie was extremely grateful and two weeks later transferred his portion of the W.R. Grace fortune to my friend's firm. |

The truckers in Washington were part of an organized protest. The main difference, is the fact they obtained a permit to legally protest and sound their horns. In fact, if you look closely, they were escorted by the police. To compare them to a few yahoos on the side of the road on Big Pine Key is idiotic. |

[Truck Nutz] Those are a sad sight aren't they? Well at least you know the brain power of the person ahead of you with them hanging off their bumper. |

[The End of the World!]
The Spanish call it "Fin Del Mundo". The Germans call it, "EndZeit". The
Smurfs call it, "Smurfageddon".
Mind you, this is a
government who silenced a NASA climate expert regarding truths about
greenhouse gas emissions. Besides, we’ll probably already be at war with
Iran far before any asteroid comes a-knocking. Gee, I wonder how I
drifted from talking about Earth’s annihilation to bitching about
neo-cons? Seemed like an easy segue. |

"govwatch" is the same culprit. His name is Sal Gutierrez, he lives in Tampa and owns property here in Monroe County that is non-buildable (paid the bottom dollar for the property) and he keeps trying to sell it to the county for big bucks. He trashes everything or anything that has merit, Neugent, Murphy, Popham. Maybe Sal is one sick puppy. You nailed him, and you have his number. Do you really think he and Coleman make a couple? You may be right? ~keyscares@yahoo.com |

[The republican way can set oil prices] Are you really so damn dumb that you think any political party can actually set oil prices? To believe anything that preposterous is just flat out stupid. The last few lines of your post tells one all they really need to know about your mentality. Why should any Gov. entity take care of your problems? Take care of your own damn problems like the conservatives do. Try it, it will provide you with an uplifting experience. |
|
|

I am appalled at what this woman who wants to be sheriff is saying. Just when you think you've heard it all, she comes up with something worse. This seems to be an extreme case of delusion. |
|
|
|
Washington is aware of the protestors. Maybe not specifically in little ol’ Big Pine, but they are aware that people are out protesting the war all over the country. It won’t change their minds though. (Can you imagine Bush or Chaney ever changing their minds? Ha.) |
|
I just wish that you were smart enough to realize that the profits you bitch about should and could be ploughed into constructing new refineries and into drilling for new oil right here in the USA. Doing that would give us our own huge supply of oil and drive down fuel prices. The new supply and building binge would solve the security problem, and it would generate new jobs for Americans. But the oil companies can’t drill, can’t build, can’t refine, can’t grow new jobs, and can’t reinvest profits. Why? Our Democrat friends and their allies, the eco-political machine, have sufficient clout to stop progress. I sincerely hope that you are smart enough to realize that what you call Bush’s war has kept America safe from attack on our soil since the opening salvo of the War on Terror on 09/11/01. It would be a good thing (thanks Martha Stewart) if you are smart enough to understand that now that al Queda is beleaguered, it is being defeated, and that world wide terrorists attacks are on the wane. I really think that you are smart enough to acknowledge all of the above, but that probably you just can’t or maybe, just won’t. Anyway, thanks for worrying about it. |

I think the Iraqi Military battalion giving the terrorist their weapons, including vehicles and then joining them in a huge party after will be John McCain’s Swift Boat Vets. I mean he did say "I wouldn’t care if we are still in Iraq 100 years from now". Sorry John, but we do. Bush administration part 3? No thanks. |
 Be
sure to mail your return in a timely manner, because this year, filing
taxpayers will receive an Economic Stimulus Payment. This is a
very exciting new program that I will explain using the Q and A format:
Q. What is an Economic Stimulus Payment? A. It is money that the federal government will send to taxpayers. Q. Where will the government get this money? A. From taxpayers. Q. So the government is giving me back my own money? A. Only a smidgen. Q. What is the purpose of this payment? A. The plan is that you will use the money to purchase a high-definition TV set, thus stimulating the economy. Q. But isn't that stimulating the economy of China? A. Shut up. |

[FKAA] I recall making $200 deposits to Keys Energy and to FKAA many years ago for hook-up. Several years ago, my electric bill was credited with the $200 for having a good payment history. I have the automated payment option set up for both electric and water, so I should have the same payment history with FKAA, but no return or credit of the deposit. Why not? |

Sheriff Capt. Bob Peryam attended the
Florida Keys Contractors Association meet-the-candidates luncheon at
Sombrero Country Club yesterday. He walked over, looked me in the eye,
shook my hand, and said, “It’s good to see you.” I wondered why he did
that, because I couldn’t imagine him feeling it was good to see me. I
could imagine him telling me I was lying about him, slandering him. But
he didn’t do that. He looked me in the eye, shook my hand and said it
was good to see me. He seemed to mean it. He did mean it. Deep inside, Bob wants all of it out in the open. He wants everyone who knows him, everyone who might vote for him, to know all of him, and not just part of him. This is how the soul works: it wants everything out in the light of day, because the soul knows this is the only way for everything to be righted, aligned, resolved. As Jesus told his own disciples, if they abided in him, they would come to know the truth and the truth would set them free. As Jesus told them when he was preparing to leave them before Pentecost, he would send them something to lead them in his stead. At Pentecost, they received the Spirit of Truth, which led them from that day forward. Deep down inside, Bob Peryam wants Keys people, especially Keys women, to know his weaknesses. What it might be like if he is sheriff, when he has even more power and is a role model for his male deputies and officers. He wants it known that he is vulnerable to blackmail and being asked special favors from women he has sex with, and from their families, especially from their parents. And that he encouraged Courtney Kelley to apply for a job with the Sheriff’s Office, which she then did, in “special ops,” but was turned down, which really upset him...Today'sFloridaKeysDrivel |

The war protesters don't care about causing distraction and traffic slowdowns. They are just a bunch of old hippies and hippie wannabes trying to re-live what was a fun era. They know that what they are doing is futile, but like other liberal schemes, it makes them feel good about themselves while doing nothing about the problem. Peace, love and eternal cosmic wisdom; lets all hold hands with the Islamo-facists and sing kumbia. |

I would like to offer my thanks to Wright (I will not precede his name with a title he does not deserve) for ensuring that Obama is not elected as our next president. Thank you so very much for saving us even more embarrassment and god knows what else if he was elected. |

| As a result of falling polls Senator Obama has finally bowed to political pressure and denounced Rev Wright. Obama said he and the Rev share different world views. |

After watching a 45-minute video “Children Remember the Holocaust” with Keanu Reeves in the introduction, students also heard Holocaust Survivor Rita Hofrichter tell her story, Channel 10 News Senior Political Reporter Michael Putney talk about prejudice and making choices, as well as a former hate-crime convict Angela King talk about life as a skinhead. Students sat 10 to a table, each with a survivor of the Holocaust who told their story and answered questions with each student during facilitated discussions. Coral Shores High School Leadership Teacher Kay McKenzie said, “With this new awareness, my students are now committed to working on projects within their own school and community that will address the issues of oppression, stereotyping, discrimination, and violence.” The Student Awareness Day experience was made possible by Monroe Youth Challenge Program and a donation toward transportation from the Keys Jewish Community Center. MYCP is a project of the Monroe County Education Foundation to foster acceptance, respect, and success in the youth of Monroe County.

To all peace protestors. Yes you have the right to protest but you lack the common sense to do it safely. An intersection is not the place to create a distraction. Why don't you move east or west a few blocks. You'll still be noticed. Passers by will either like you, hate you, or not give a damn, but you'll be noticed. When I drive through an intersection I'm more concerned with what other vehicles are going to do than with reading your signs. Get away from the traffic light and the cops will probably leave you alone. |

[Malware
1] I scanned all my files and it didn't show up. Then I started
trying to figure out if I had downloaded any programs and remembered my
wife had downloaded an online screen saver. So I went to the add/remove
programs and finally found the little sucker hiding in a program and
deleted it. Then I rebooted and now all is well.
We
must eliminate our dependence on oil from the Arabs and big
business otherwise they will bankrupt our citizens with their greed.
Greedy people have no limits. The only way to do this is nuclear power
plants and electric cars. It can be small nuclear plants as most
utilities have suggested. This solution eliminates the demand for oil
and will reduce our green house emissions. We will have to find a
substitute for plastic. France recognized this ten years ago and has
switched 100% to nuclear power plants. All that is missing are the
electric cars in France. 
I
can't believe it! I was sitting here reading the telegraph, fuming over
the idiocies of the county commission, the Vandenberg and the schemes to
sneak in big money development under the guise of protecting the working
waterfront; and hurricane shelter for first responders when my phone
rings and it is someone asking me to participate in a poll about
these and other local problems. Needless to say, I gladly answered the
questions. I hope it does some good.
Why
the year 2012? Them crazy Mayans, baby! The Mayan calendar is a system
of measurement that has been accurate within seconds for thousands of
years. Most of the predictions that were made by the race were correct.
In the year 2012 the Mayan calendar ceases completely. Either that’s
only as high as they could count, or we’re screwed.
Who
knows? The end of the world may not come at some supreme being’s whim,
but maybe while arrogantly mucking around with science we might just
destroy ourselves. How many experiments are going on out there that may
just be one misplaced integer away from us all being riddled with some
zombie-virus like in "28 Days Later"? (Although, I would love the
opportunity to laugh at the hippie vegetarian gal I know as she
ravenously gnaws the patchouli-marinated flesh from her skeezy, skater,
white-guy-dreadlock-sporting boyfriend’s bones.)
And
robots...don’t forget about the goddamned, soulless robots. I think
technology’s come far enough that a malfunctioning droid could go on a
homicidal rampage, blasting lasers from it’s eyes and pissing
hydrochloric acid everywhere. They would distract you by doing that
nifty robot breakdance from the 80’s then Fuh-ZAPP!! Your noggin’s a
smoking charcoal briquette. Sound impossible? Not if you turn to those
diabolical minds at Honda. Clearly they’re constructing a robot army.
Perhaps
our number will be up when that giant asteroid finally barrels into us
like in Michael Bay’s "Armageddon". Trust me, if that happens, all the
best deep-core drillers in the world will not be able to bail us out,
(although I think we should send Ben Affleck up there to try anyway.)
especially if a republican’s in office. You think he’s going to spare
any oil drillers to blow up an asteroid hurtling towards Earth? I can
hear Rush Limbaugh now, "The threat is Iran, people... not some
silly hunk’a space rock! It’s Iran!" 
strangers.
Sleep with two strangers and an Armenian midget amputee. Sleep with two
strangers and an Armenian midget amputee, film it, and post it on the
internet. That’s how you get immortality, baby! 
The
ersatz Karl Rove asks of yesterdays poster: Yesterday you
suggested that you may be dumbed-down, but that your not too stupid.
Please tell us just how stupid are you? I don’t think that you’re
stupid enough to claim that the Democrats have supported drilling here
in the USA for our own oil, because that’s not true. The Dems have
resisted drilling. I don’t think that you’re stupid enough to claim
that the Democrats have supported building new refineries in the USA,
because that’s not true either. The Dems have resisted building
refineries. I don’t think that you’re stupid enough to claim that our
ever growing dependence on foreign oil is good for our economy or our
safety, because it isn’t. I wonder if you’re smart enough to realize
that as our dependency on foreign oil has grown, the cost of that oil
has escalated correspondingly. I don’t know how smart you are, or
aren’t.

My bill over the past 12 months has averaged around $35. FKAA’s estimate was $62.10. That is almost double and it is the same with my neighbors. I was nominated to contact you about this. FKAA double-talked me with water-speak so I still don’t understand what they were saying to justify the increase. I suspect this may be a sneaky way to permanently increase our rates. Many people have their bills automatically debited from their bank accounts and will not notice the huge increase until it has been established as the new rate. If they were to honestly estimate our bills they would be in the $35 range not doubled. Thanks for any help. |

| There is another candidate running for Commissioner--Carlos Rojas. His credentials are very good. He is a college graduate, a family man, knows the problems that each district faces and will not be bought off by the developers. That is why he threw his hat into the ring in the first place. McCoy has to go. So does Spehar. Make sure you get to know each and every candidate and what they stand for before you cast your vote on August 26. Carruthers will not be running until after the primary. The Primary is the real test so make sure you vote in the Primary. You have to be a Republican to vote for Sylvia Murphy in district 5, Kim Wigington in district 1and Carlos Rojos in district 3. If all of these candidates win we will have a good set of caring, smart, does their homework, listens to the voters, will not spend our hard earned tax dollars like drunken sailors commissioners. These candidates if elected will know that our safety and welfare comes first before restaurants, sinking of ships, airports, government centers, etc. | |||

I just want to set the record straight on two issues. First: The fundraiser I want to have for Talia is not to beat the DUI case in Court. It's because Deputy Calhoun said he was going to set fire to her home if she demanded a jury trial, which she did, and her trailer was burned down 2 days before the Court date to set the trial. Deputy Calhoun did not deny burning her trailer, moreover he told the Judge he was there. Second: The case that was "investigated" against Peryam 3 years ago was not without merit, nor was it denied. Simply, the mother did not want to press charges or take further action. Apparently she relied on the MCSO to discipline their officer, which they failed to do. There is another similar complaint against Peryam at the moment. There are simply too many of the same type of offenses to mark this man as honest. I didn't file these complaints, I'm just trying to educate voters. If you want another Mauldin in office, so be it. As for me, I am a woman who is offended by his behavior, he's married with children and was having this relationship in the patrol car we supplied him. P.S. Peryam's gal had an arrest record just like my friend Talia and more than 30% of Monroe County residents do. ~ sandy@sandyforsheriff.com |

I’m scheduled to attend the
Florida Keys Contractors’ Association Meet the Candidates
get-together at Sombrero Country Club in Marathon. I confess to having
mixed feelings about being there. I mean, I’m the candidate who keeps
saying no more new development, period, the end. The candidate who says
the same for new development disguised as “redevelopment” when the
finished product looks nothing like the original footprint. The
candidate who says the fragile Keys have had all the development they
can stand, and no one who lives here can look in the mirror and honestly
argue otherwise. The candidate who says, yeah, if someone owns a
buildable lot and wishes to build his or her home on it and live here
full-time, then that should be allowed. But not to live here only
part-time. We don’t need any more part-time residents. |

 I wonder who was the first person to see Christ crucified on the cross and say, “ Hey, that would make a great necklace!” |

Our family has had very positive encounters with MCSO. You must be a bad guy to be complaining. The Deputies are top notch, including our Sheriff Rick Roth. Go pick on the Key West officers and leave our Editor alone, too, punk. |

While anchored just
off the mangrove island we see the wonderful wildlife start to unfold.
There were several cormorants hanging out in the lower levels, some

flight pattern. How amazing! |

If you think Obama’s a liberal wait until you get a load of John McCain. Even Ann Coulter refuses to vote for him. No Conservative is running in this election. They went the way of the dinosaur.

Given his statements you must, or have to assume, he is angry at people who "did" put him in chains, people who "did" put him in slavery and whoever "did" make him "this color"! His god and his parents made him "that" color, his own black African brothers put his people in chains, to be traded for trinkets into slavery to whites. "That" would have been called Really "deep and heavy" in days gone by. Any wonder this dude spews hate from every pore? Read this post very carefully to see if "you" are mentioned. Sen. Obama and his family spent 20 years at church adhering to, following and worshiping under this man. Vote wisely! http://www.tucc.org/black_value_system.html |

Do you really think that we all don't want peace? Protesting on the corner of US 1 and Key Deer Blvd is not going to change the fact that our brothers, sisters, husbands, wives, etc are at the far corners of this planet where the our government has sent them to do the jobs they signed up for? Standing on the corner asking drivers to honk is not going to stop the war. Put your energy into something more productive. When I see you protesting it just makes by blood boil, but I get over it quickly. |

I guess since thousands of truck drivers in Washington D.C. honked their horns to protest the high cost of fuel that means there’s people here in Big Pine that want justice. Like the war protestors, they want the truck drivers to be ticketed too. Be forced to drive their trucks somewhere else and think the drivers are nothing more then showoffs. Those damn truck drivers. Another case of America’s free speech being abused, right folks? They don’t like the cost of fuel. I guess it’s too damn bad. Right, whinebags? |

| Ms. Carruthers is gay and she is running for County Commission. Her personal life is her business, but in the middle and upper keys, her being gay will be a problem. Doing the things she has done with FIRM is great, but that does not qualify her for being a County Commissioner. She has had a lot of help from all of the good people with FIRM. Ask her what she knew about the problems up in the middle and upper Keys? She, I am sure, does care about others, but that is not the only qualification to be a good County Commissioner. From what I have heard, she will not allow men to stay at her business, does not like straight women. She is a very angry gay woman, and is using the Commissioner's seat to get to Ron Saunders seat? Has anyone else heard these things? ~keyscares@yahoo.com | |||

So "govwatch" is the same culprit who does the local sludge fest web site that trashed Ms. Popham. This dud(e) is even more twisted than I first thought. Now he’s admitted that he’s fascinated with male genitalia. Not only that, but from what he said yesterday it looks like he may be a pee pee peeper. Ed, I don’t know if you’re male, female or perhaps a penguin, but this govwatch drooler now claims that he has knowledge of your genitalia. Judging from his picture, he should wipe his face. Plus, he claims similar knowledge of 75% of your readers. I’m thinking that this sad sack may have been running around peeping on cold mornings. Can he be looking for a little “you show me, I’ll show you” action? I wonder if he’s a Jim Dandy at the Larry Craig shuffle. I doubt that he has the intestinal fortitude to admit that he treated Ms. Popham dishonestly, or that he’ll apologize. He and Coleman make a spiffy couple. ~wmac1@bellsouth.net |

I read with great dismay the true hatred and ignorance of some Keys residents yesterday. Let me address two topics. One, you people bashing the cops need to get a life. Do you have any idea what they put up with on a daily basis? Perhaps it’s people like you that give them a bad attitude. And Kim, you should know better, being that your father works for the department. You know damn well that most of them are good people, and are not how you described. Shame on you. Second, govwatch05, my making a negative comment on one of your delusional, psycho friends was not an invite to add me to your e-mail list. You left, so perhaps it's time to stop the ignorant comments also. Leave the comments for those of us who did not run away, and actually call this town home. |

[Dear
Commissioner Neugent] FKAA has been estimating water bills
instead of reading the meters. My neighbors have had this happen to them
too.
Is
Karl Rove secretly sending posts to Coconut Telegraph? On Monday
we read how the "Republican way" can lower oil prices. This is taking
"dumbing down" too far. We are not that stupid. We are finishing eight
years of Republican oil policy. The week before Bush's second
inauguration gas was $1.84 a gallon. On May 16, 2005 the average gas
price was $2.16 a gallon. Oil company profits for the year 2004 were
100 billion. They have increased each year since. Whose money was
spent to make up those profits? Who pays at the pump? Half of the oil
company profits for one year could cure the Social Security crisis and
provide basic health care for everyone. In fact, the cost of Bush's war
for two months (24 billion--12 billion a month) could solve Social
Security and Medicare problems for many years. Please, don't talk to me
about Republicans taking care of any of my problems.
Sunday
was a day off for everyone so I decided it was a perfect boat day.
We decided not to take the dogs, so we let them swim until they were
beat and put them back in the house to sleep it off. Cynderella and I
then loaded the boat and took off. The wind was blasting at 25 MPH so we
went to the back country. The backwaters of the Keys are like being in a
live nature show. Because of the wind we anchored on the lee side of an
island, and tucked ourselves close to hide from the wind. Mission
accomplished! We have been perfecting our new boat drink, the
Painkiller. It takes a lot of dedication and practice to succeed at this
but we are on our way to the perfect one. 
Reverend
Wright is a very religious man. His religion, like others, believes
god created heaven, earth and man. Wright said in his speech yesterday,
"Louis Farrakhan is not my enemy. He did not put me in chains. He did
not put me in slavery. He did not make me this color."
Has
anyone had any luck getting a large screen projection TV repaired
in the Summerland Key area? Mine has always had some wavy lines from
different camera angles during a show and the problem is getting worse.
Referrals would be greatly appreciated.

take all foods and store all for themselves. If you and I are not
"inside" these groups, we're dead. The racial wars will eliminate most
weak Whites, and the Blacks and Browns will make the country a New
Orleans all over the place. Canada will declare war against us, and arm
the borders, but will fall to the hordes who think they can hide in the
woods, which will be useless. Mexico will invade the US, and so will the
rest of any third world country. Our military will follow orders as
usual, but most will say screw it and head to their families. It will
turn into a Road Warrior existence in a matter of days, with all power
off, all commercial trucking stopped; all warehousing robbed, and water
pumping down. Food will be gone in hours. Fuel too. All Nuke power
plants will, hopefully, go to automatic shutdown. Bridges will be
destroyed to try and protect areas. Sail boats will be a fought over
item for those who think Water World is viable--it is not. The whole
world will fall apart and the harbored hatred will surface and revenge
will be the order of the day. Then the bugs take over because the sewage
systems won't be working, then typhoid and the other Dark Age diseases
will take their tolls. Nothing will have any value except to the nitwits
who think Gold and Silver will do something. Money will be burned for
heat, medical aid and supplies will disappear in hours, and fire will
destroy most cities and their infrastructure, computer systems and data
bases. Libraries will go too. Religion will only mark those weak enough
to expose themselves. They will be easy pickings. Firearms will only
tell others where you are. The ragging masses starving for eatables will
strip everything like army ants. The human race will cease as a
functioning mass. All this in 4 or 5 weeks. Then the bad stuff
starts. There's no place to hide! 
[No
Global Warming] Did Al Gore write in about global warming? It sure
sounded like him. He is so wrong and is causing lots of bad governmental
decisions to be made in order to quiet down the people he has
frightened. Can you say ethanol and biofuels? And what about the hybrid
cars? Half of them now get worse gas mileage than standard ones, but the
government pays big rebates dollars out to encourage people to buy
them. And I know this will come as a shock to some, but the ice caps
have melted before- many times, and will continue to do so. If you
really worry about global warming- live in a tent, don't drive, lose
weight, don't smoke, and try not to breath or fart (reducing CO2 and
methane). All I ask is that you leave the rest of us alone.

[Ranting about politics that they can do nothing about] It’s just the opposite, my friend. Politics is the one thing we can do something about. That’s what a democracy is all about; the ability to have a voice in our government. We need information to vote. No one on television is more qualified or more important than an informed citizen. And I read many very well informed citizens right here on BPK.com. Maybe you should continue to read about body functions and let the big guys continue worrying about restoring greatness to our country. |

The Dem idea would, by law, require that the use of gas
and oil would diminish. Gas and oil prices would further escalate. It would
ensure that tourists would not travel, and that food prices would further
escalate. Recreational use of internal combustion powered vehicles/vessels
would virtually cease. The Dems approach would require inflicting more
taxes so as to support the added costs of government to support the
new regulations. Simply put, the Dem approach is specifically designed to
inflict so much pain on you that you will have to forego the use of petro
products. We can expect side effects from the Dem approach. We would see
fewer restaurants cluttering up The Republican approach would drive down prices by increasing supply. An excellent result in the short term, but it might seduce us into ignoring the likelihood that the earth will tap out on oil, perhaps in our lifetimes. The danger is that we would fail to aggressively develop new energy sources. It’s pretty obvious to me that we need a little of both approaches, with the emphasis on guaranteeing American petro independence while developing alternative methods of powering our lives. |

Would your homophobic little mind be more restful if we elected another lame straight person who’s in the pocket of developers? |

[Sheriff’s candidate associating with a convicted felon] Read all about it. Sandra Downs seems to have taken her defamation claim to a whole new level. She is now associating with a convicted felon, having dinner with them, attending court with them and wanting to have a fund raiser with the local community to help her beat a case in court. She wants to be the top cop yet she is supporting criminals. She is interviewing the criminals and only obtaining their side of the story. Then she is going to blast the cop in the media based on a criminal’s story. She's the one always wanting someone to come and talk with her; maybe she should go talk to people and produce factual statements. ~evaniser@comcast.net |

I wrote in asking the URL for Sal's site and Ed answered http://keylargo.com/. That is not true. Click it yourself. It goes to a website advertising hotels, fishing trips, airlines, and other tourist attractions. Does anyone know the URL for the gossip column that used to be advertised here? Sal had a banner ad on here with his photo and said something like "Take no prisoners". It was funny as hell. I never book marked it because it was always on this site. I would read both this site and his site every day. Both are hilarious. (Ed: keylargokey.com) |

Ok, Ok, I read a couple really
dumb postings yesterday. Blaming the democrats for the hike in gas
prices has no foundation whatsoever. But the scary thing to me is there are
still people out there that think that global warming is some kind of hoax.
How can you think that? The
Larsen A and Larsen B
ice shelves in Antarctica are gone. Now the melting of
this ice did not significantly displace the ocean sea level because this was
'floating' ice. However, the glaciers all of the world are disappearing at a
rate the greatest scientists are having trouble calculating. As the melting
increases, the water is undermining them and speeding up the process. This
will increase the sea levels rapidly. Some projections say 5 feet within 50
years, other more horrifying predictions call for as much as 20' within the
next 100 years. Most of us will not be around to see this, but if you don't
have waterfront property now, you may in the future. The thing is that what
we are seeing now is a result of the CO2 produced in the 50's and 60's and I
scoff at those who say: "we must do something now". In my humble opinion, it
is already too late. The country of China is quickly becoming like our
western society.
I am not sure but I think it is safe to say that they
comprise minimally one-quarter of the earth's population. If there will be
a fossil fuel burning vehicle in every garage, we are toast for sure. We had
the technology 30 years ago to get away from the CO2 production we have had
for the last few decades. It hurts me to hear my son tell me that he is not
sure that he wants to bring a child into this world. It is a miracle that we are here to experience the incredible duality of our lives. The insignificance of our race vs. the day to day lives that we lead. The joy of achievements and gain and the pain of loss. In the big scheme of things, it doesn’t mean a thing. So to think that global warming is a hoax is pure lunacy. Hell, when they start producing ads with Nancy Pelosi and Newt Gingrich sitting on a couch and agreeing on something that should be your first clue! |

The poster who said it was the oil companies’ fault for high gas prices because they won't build more refineries is a moron. The liberals in this country won't let them build new refineries. Oil companies do not set the price for oil. Supply and demand does and OPEC. All oil companies do is look for more oil, but they are blocked by the left-wing environmentalist in this country like the Sierra Club. They are the ones responsible for this crisis not oil companies. |

[Peryam sex scandal] That complaint was filed and looked into almost three years ago. It was found to be un-worthy of any action by MCSO. So let’s see, 20 plus years of service--1 complaint--looked into and found un-worthy of any action. Ms Sandy, that’s just not enough to say all those bad things you and Sloan are saying. I could never vote for either one of you for anything and I hope you lose your anger and mean streak. It’s no way to go through life. This will be my last word on any thing you or Sloan has to say. |

The poster seems to suggest that our Constitution is in need of “evolution”. I disagree on this issue as well. The Constitution, and the 10 Commandments are similar in that they regulate mans behavior. Each of these foundational structures is nearly perfect and complete in and of themselves. Neither of these structures can be idly modified. “Evolution” of the Constitution is simply a bland way of saying that government should be permitted to further intrude into your life. I find it cautionary and
reprehensible that the poster suggests a moral equivalence between
“unchecked” capitalism and “raw” communism. The poster, undoubtedly an
Obama supporter, tells us he is able to look deep into the hearts of
Americans and he sees that we Americans know that we are at a “transitional
crossroad”. The poster is urging us to make a hard left turn. This poster
urges us to follow a |

On
my way to go play a gig at Geiger Key Marina, I always used to see an
elderly black man that fished off of a small bridge and parked his white van
along side of the road. On this particular day he was laying on his back
next to the van unconscious. Now living in the keys for five years I had
seen people laying in the street before. One in the Avenues I almost ran
over. But all of them were highly intoxicated which here is commonplace.
This older gentleman, however, was not. I immediately called 911 from my
cell phone and while doing so another party had stopped and was giving him
CPR. I was absolutely amazed at the incredible response time from the EMTs.
They were there in less than five minutes, despite the fact that I did not
even know the actual name of Boca Chica road that we were on. Later that
evening I called the Cudjoe Sheriff to see if this man had expired. To their
credit, the dispatcher would not tell me one way or the other. I told her
that I had no vested interest or agenda, I simply would like to know the
outcome. I had stopped and talked to him on more than one occasion and he
was a very nice and articulate man. She said that she could not release any
information prior to an investigation being completed. Reading between the
lines, I then knew that he did not make it. On my way home there was a
Sheriff there and three people of African-American descent (I was not
politically correct in using the term 'black' before but then again I am
still called “white” and have no problem with it.) standing near the van. I
pulled over and asked them if the gentleman had made it and they confirmed
what I already knew. I told them that I was the one to find him and call for
help. They were extremely grateful to me and asked me for my address and
info so they could thank me properly. I was a little taken back by that
because I told them, "I would like to think that were it me, that you or he
would have done the same so ‘proper’ thanks is not needed." The popular
phrase 
[Gas
prices] Do we want to reduce gas prices, do we want to eliminate our
dangerous dependence on foreign oil, or perhaps do we want to reduce or
eliminate our dependence on petroleum as an energy source en toto? I
think that the answers are Yes, and Yes and Yes again. Harry Reid has just
said “Republican leaders have proposed the same old solution: drill, drill,
drill.” Reid and the Democrats have opposed any Republican initiative to
exploit our own resources. They assert that expansion of supply will not
yield lower prices or diminish demand. The Democrats urge government
enforcement of increased fuel economy for vehicles, taxing the oil
companies, denying expansion of drilling on 
The
Peak Oil phenomenon predicts rising prices while oil users bid on
reduced supplies of cheap oil. The important part of the peak oil phenomenon
is the part that says cheap oil no longer exists. Sure you can
struggle to turn shale into gasoline. Or you can burn ethanol which is a
product that costs energy to produce and offers less energy than gasoline
when burned. The problem is these solutions are expensive and will not
reduce the cost of energy. They hold out false hope that we can continue to
be profligate in our use of fossil fuels. They allow people to think the day
of reckoning can be postponed.
So
far about a dozen people have claimed to have been there and witnessed
someone receiving a ticket for honking their horn at the peace protest.
Not one person has stepped forward to say "I received a ticket for honking
my horn at the peace protest". Wonder why? Didn't happen? Did cars get
tickets for other infractions after they were pulled over for honking their
horns? Maybe. Honking your horn is not free speech. Your horn is a safety
device on your vehicle.
[Peace
Rally] Keep up the good fight. They threw things at us, beat us and tear
gassed us in the 70s when we protested that war. We knew we were right and
we still do. Going against the government is dangerous, but sometimes we
have to fight for democracy against the false patriots.
I
wonder why some moron would be operating a chipper at 8:30 at night on a
Sunday night in the vicinity of Key Deer Blvd and Pond Lane (just beyond
the road prison). It's real dark out right now to be chipping in the dark.
He must really need to clear that lot before Monday morning!
The
dumbass post I read was that the people that stand on the corner and hold
signs for peace are just trying to draw attention to themselves. I
don't think so. The mentality of a "law-officer" is a reality that most
people just cannot figure out either. These rotund deputies that cruise our
islands are endowed with power and machismo that most do not understand.
When they put on their uniforms and strap on there Bat Belt that has a gun,
an ERD or taser, an asp (which replaced the Billy club) and so on; they feel
a sense of power and arrogance, in some cases, that we simply cannot relate
to. Just watch an episode of

Knowingly, they trample the rights of citizens, and not one of them have the
guts to tell their boss "Hey man, that's not right!" According to what I
read on this page sheriff Roth lied like a rug. Eye witnesses back up the
ticketing.

We have a right to freedom of speech. If you don’t agree with our beliefs then keep driving. If you support us then please just give a friendly wave or peace sign. I’m pretty sure these actions aren’t against the law. This officer obviously didn’t agree with our beliefs, but since he has a badge and a gun he is automatically allowed to have the upper hand and be right whether or not he actually is. This Saturday we had no problems with the law and things went very smoothly because this issue is the talk of the town. More people than ever drove by "showing support". Also, the business that called the police wasn’t even open Saturday, obviously realizing we aren’t easy to get rid of. We will continue to fight for what we believe in. |

The oil companies are responsible for our current plight because they refused to build new refineries. This was alleged in last week’s Congressional hearings. It’s not just us shouting “conspiracy” they are shouting it in Congress. Big oil knew everything that was going on to create this situation. Why should they try to prevent it? They don’t care about Americans only money. |

It’s refreshing when events play out as they should. Several months ago the “Amazing Jerry Man” mouthpiece, developer lackey extraordinaire, and putative string puller of our infamous Gang of Three filed a complaint with the Florida Ethics Commission accusing Ms. Sherry Popham of unethical conduct. Ms. Popham had been a member of the Planning Commission. In that capacity she had championed rule changes that minimized profit potential for certain clients of the The Amazing Jerry Man. One wonders if the filing was nothing more than a fit of pique, or perhaps it was nothing more than raw thuggery. A local web site allied itself with Coleman and published incredibly derogatory items concerning Ms. Popham. I must note that it appears that the operator of the aforementioned web site seems to have a consuming (no pun intended) interest in male genitalia in general, and the size thereof in particular. The relationship between Coleman and this web site operator is perplexing. One wonders who is pulling the strings (or whatever). The Ethics Commission has ruled that Coleman's complaint was devoid of merit! What do you think folks, how long will Ms. Popham have to wait to receive the apology that she deserves from Coleman et al? Perhaps filing a bar complaint against Coleman should be considered. As I understand it anyone can file such a complaint, and you don’t have to be the aggrieved party. |

I
was one of the supporters holding signs last Saturday at the
intersection on US1. A business nearby (who previously has called the
police) and did again, had the police come over and give us a warning
for "provoking" the cars driving by to honk their horns. We explained
that we had no power over whether or not the people in cars wanted to
state their support by honking. Also we no longer held signs saying
"honk 4 peace" due to a past problem. Then the police parked right next
to where we were standing and started to pull over many cars after they
honked. We even went so far as to walk over to the radio station and ask
them to put a warning out to drivers about the ticketing. We know they
gave some cars only warnings because we asked a driver. The kid who did
get a ticket was our friend and the officer saw us talking to him while
he was stopped at the light. This seemed as if he was being made an
example of; and we neither appreciated this or thought justice was being
properly used in this situation.
