Doh, looks like got fooled.
Abe Lincoln said, "You can fool some of the people all of the time."  Looks like there are some people who won't be fooled.

That was hilarious and clever. Thanks for the post and the website. It's a great theme, I wasn't aware there was such a group - I might try to contribute myself.
We are always looking for new material.

Dear Editor: Because we take citizenship so seriously, there's not an issue about which the Vince Foster Society doesn't have an opinion....  We applaud the state legislature for its effort to shut down the microbreweries like Intuition Ale and Aardwolf....

Still don't see why everyone hates this guy.

If you don't like it, don't read it.

Funny comes on here and posts only for the purpose of advertising for his weekly stand up.

That other good (william something?) comes on here and posts only for the purpose of advertising for his black community editorials.

I know of a few others who come on here solely for the purpose of advertising randomly, without contributing to the discourse on this forum whatsoever.

For some reason people really hate this guy.

Want him to stop posting? Nobody, for better or worse, waste the time of commenting on his threads. He'll lose interest.

Honestly, he should have a single thread and just reply with links to new updates. Same goes for anyone else who just posts here to attract traffic to their dumb blog. Break Room is completely worthless now- on the first page of this forum, he has around 25 topics. I usually just click in here, see his topics at the top of the list and go back.

We are a group of Jacksonville writers who post here on Metro Jacksonville and elsewhere. It is not as though the "Break Room" has limited space and our postings are crowding out those of other people.  If Stephen Dare decides that we have worn out our welcome, so be it.  That would be his call, and we respect that.  With all due respect to you, thekillingwax, if you see our name and icon and already know you are not going to like the content, don't click on the link. There are other posts in this section worth reading.

How to fix the pension mess:  Over the last two decades, city hall should have been funding the police and fire pensions, but it wasn't.  Mayors John Delaney and John Peyton and various city councils understood that the city's residents don't like taxes.

So today we're in a pickle.  The 'chickens have come home to roost,' so to speak.  The only way now to come up with the hundreds of millions of dollars needed to cover the shortfall is to levy a tax.  There's no alternative.  (Sorry, TEA Party, I've got to break with you on this one.)  So, let me offer a solution of my own devising....

Since we are heading into the Algae-bloom season, here is a rerun:

..... take all the problems people imagine are connected to the St. Johns River.  People get all worked up.  But these things are only in their minds.

That's for real for sure.....er,I mean unreal.

Today hosted a reporter covering "Health & Environment"- we toured a river tributary,Fishweir Creek, targeted for a joint city/federal restoration project, now many years behind,endless reporter tours.
I was asked about why the delay.Instead of studious,measured 'Priorities" narrative,simply noting that Creek restoration is only in our minds would have been more appropriate. In fact,Real. ;)

Federal Heritage River local governments coalition will soon announce that,by rule,any and all 'River Initiative' press conferences,news inputs must be conducted, disseminated only by those who have partaken in a Trifecta Paddle/Winn Dixie (*) Bi Lo restock exercise.

Jaxonpool News with Violent Crawley: The Gallup polling organization reported Oct. 8th that turnout in the coming midterm elections could be lower than in the past two midterm elections, based on current voter engagement. Across both the nation and the political spectrum, voters are opting to not vote.  Having come to the realization that their ideas are no longer their own, they are deciding in large numbers that it would be better for all concerned to avoid casting a ballot....
