And Phil has every right  to the world's Proud Dad gold medal!

This is Jeb Bush and the Bush family policy of cutting taxes and cutting services in all its glory in Florida now.

It's all about cutting taxes to the bone. It's all about believing if you are rich you deserve it, and if you are poor you deserve it.

Heartless Florida policies: Disabled losing benefits.

FireDogLake, which generated 15,000 letters to the editor in opposition to the Associated Press' Nedra Pickler's recitation of bogus smears against Barack Obama, is at it again with another important action item: Calling on the AP to force Ron Fournier to recuse himself from covering the White House race given his all-too-close ties with the McCain campaign (which he was in months of conversations about joining). Here's the action item.

Ron Fournier, the Washington AP bureau chief, wrote a hit piece against Obama's selection of Joe Biden as VP and tried to pass it off as objective reporting.

His clear bias makes him unfit for his role as bureau chief, and we can push for him to be removed from this role by writing to the editors of local and national newspapers.

Call for Fournier's removal as Washington AP Bureau Chief by calling his boss, Kathleen Carroll, at 212-621-1610, sending her an email at kcarroll@ap.org, and sending a letter to the editor of your local paper.
