Barack Obama addressed the hushed Florida Democratic party as the Keynote Speaker, December 11, 2005.

As he stood before us and the cadence of his words punched his message home in a quiet, unassuming manner, I was struck by the dignity of this man.

As were others.

In 1981, I lived just a few miles from where the head of six-year-old Adam Walsh was found.

My child was one year old.

The tragedy forever embedded in my parent psyche. For years, I would not allow my child to play in the front yard and practically cemented her to my hip while shopping at Florida's busy malls.

I was scared to death.

NASA forgot to tell Shuttle astronautLisa Marie Nowak what most male pilots spew verbatim.

If a relationship is more than two VORs away, it ain't cheating.

"It is a serious threat to this country not to have a media that is a check and balance on those in power. What we see now is that the media in this country has reached an all-time low having a media embedded in the power structure."

--Amy Goodman, Democracy Now

As far as I'm concerned, Amy Goodman could not arrive in Central Florida soon enough.

Talk about a press embedded (or as I like to say, "in bed") with the power structure...Florida newspapers spoon nicely-all tucked in and cozy-with the Sunshine State's elected officials.

My mother attended a Democratic fundraiser last night (aka good excuse to party on SOTU eve) and just guess who was the guest of honor?

My fave, Howard Dean, the man responsible for shaking up the midterms.

Funny story.

My mom, a die hard Broward County chad counter, invited me to tag along to the 2005 Florida Dem convention, back when the governor's race was just starting to churn.

Every woman in the world has an opinion about the photograph of Bill and Hillary Clinton, with daughter Chelsea stuck in the proverbial middle, treading in solidarity across the White House lawn to a waiting helicopter, sidestepping the land mine issue called Monica Lewinsky.

Bill had finally fessed up to Hillary about Lewinsky.

The Prez was just another dirty dog.

Too great a story to leave unnoticed.

Rudy Giuliani is pointing fingers at Charlie Crist, accusing the new Florida governor's staff of sticky fingers.

Rudy lost a campaign playbook while stumping for 2006 candidates.

And now it's gone public.

Stockholm Syndrome is alive and well in Florida.

I'm not certain how else the glowing editorial tributes to the now ex-Governor of Florida, John Ellis Bush, could otherwise be explained.

This Kidnapper of Paradise Lost held the state captive for eight years and apparently, the press identified with him as surely as Patty Hearst aligned herself with the Symbionese Liberation Army.

"My way or the highway" King Jeb Bush leaves a legacy of damage that will shadow Florida long after his departure.

An exploitive outsider, the soon-to-be former Governor's relocation of his family to Florida in 1980 is considered among many as the first move toward the creation of a Bush family political dynasty.

The 2000 Presidential election forever cemented that suspicion in the minds of many Floridians.

Billed as "The greatest underdog story of our time..."

Rocky Balboa"...is back for one final round."

And America is right back in the corner with Rocky.

Yo. Rock.

What's that all about?

Savannah's locals can be widely eccentric.

John Berendt's Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil-known simply as "The Book" by Savannahians-describes several colorful characters who call the city home.

With my every visit to the hometown of Johnny Mercer, I run across at least one additional character to pepper the Garden mix.

Two...if I'm lucky.
