Kevin,

Did you not get a Happy Birthday Card from Brad? Did they mayor take you off the GOBN list? Will you miss Warren Alvarez? What is the real rub here?

[Driven1]

to the GOBN is still "in process" according to their website.  And, sadly, no birthday card from Brad  :(  

Warren is leaving?

You could take some pointers from Littlepage.  He infuriates people on a regular basis using the english language without resorting to slanderous or libelous comments.  Could be he learned that in college journalism or at least follows the advise of the paper's legal counsel.

If you aren't impressed with Littlepage there are plenty of opinion writers out there to google.

Suzanne,

By your comments it appears that you are still operating under the assumption that I was the lone author of this piece.  While I would love to claim it as such, it would be disingenius of me.  I wrote absolutely NOTHING slanderous or libelous.  Further, I would argue that the co-author of the article, while using some harsh words, wrote nothing slanderous or libelous.  One of the premises for libel is that the statement in question must be false.

I'm an american tree farmer.

unfortunately the GOBN is real and exposure is neccessary for change. Most of us know the definition of insanity and its insane to believe our city will evolve and change with the same system in place. just travel throughout your state and see the differences amongst the metro areas vs jacksonville. What  it balls down to is the city government. Prime example The Southside  energy complex owned by JEA. If they clean up there own mess they will sell it a lot faster. So if you haven't caught on to my point it's probably because one way or another those in opposition to the opinion benefit for the GOBN  in some facist of your there own lives. accountability&responsbility=change

nativeson:  So you are saying that the same GOBN that produced Peyton also produced Delaney and Glover?  If so, why is the GOBN network so inconsistent and why cant they make up their minds?  [insert sarcasm here]  All this GOBN talk is just a bunch of whining by people who did not get their way.  I dont always get my way politically either, but it is usually because my side loses an election not because there is some racist/wealthy/homophobic conspiracy.  It just happens.  This is our system.

screw social service budgets, johnny's goin' ta China.

Those who think 70% of people in this town approve ( and anyone can run for office if they don't ),  you need to spend some time on the streets seeing how most of us live.  It cost millions $$ to buy the mayor's office.  Our political system is so corroded and deceitful that the majority of people in this town have just given up and stopped participating.  To wit, the turnout in our last local election. 

of course, this suits those in power very well.  Being outraged is appropriate.  Expressing our indignation here is small solace for us weary citizens in this land of the powerfully indifferent.
