Extraordinary times require extraordinary actions, the experts say. That's why President-elect Barack Obama is pushing for tax cuts and government spending. This runs counter to how most of us think, considering that the last thing any of us would do is dig deeper in debt when debt is what's sinking us in the first place. But many people much smarter than most of us say this is necessary. ...more

The letter from the surrogate of Brian Blair (Letters, Nov. 26) aptly sums up why he lost. Arrogant delusion might be a good way to describe it. Once I read "One of the most popular political figures in Tampa Bay," I thought what mood altering drug is this person on? One of the most cringe-worthy buffoons in Tampa Bay, I could have bought. ...more

Whose brainless idea was it in the first place? ...more

1. White and blue collar shirts must be replaced with brown and elite black shirts. 2. Truth, common sense and intellectual debate must be stopped and political correctness must reign. 3. All logic ought to be micromanaged by our media. 4. We are safe, but our requirement will be our necks stretched across a chopping block. 5. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and acts like a duck; well? 6. Our economy is solid, that's why most large businesses are relocating to other parts of the world (which proves the point.) 7. Those nations who promise to kill us are just kidding. 8. If a tsunami was heading toward us our political authorities would say there's nothing to worry about and we'd do nothing. 9. No need to fear, what you don't know won't kill you. 10. Now the election is over, all bets are off. ...more
