In a move that surprised perhaps a handful of Siberian cave dwellers, Digital Domain Media Group Tuesday morning filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

It means the state and officials in the cities of Port St. Lucie and West Palm Beach stand a Chinaman's chance of recovering more than pennies on the dollar of the $135 million total they gave to the movie animation and special effects company for incentives to operate in Florida and hire Floridians.

Conventioneers in Charlotte listening to Charlie Crist may have thought they have some kind of monopoly on high-profile Americans who became so disenchanted with their party they switched.

They do not, and the Romney for President folks want the world to know.

The League of Women Voters of Florida Education Fund (LWVFEF) is offering state voters its just-published 2012 Florida Election & Voter Guide. The guide includes information on presidential contenders as well as statewide candidates, Supreme Court justices and the 11 constitutional amendments on the Florida ballot.

According to the League, with a print run of 1.1 million, copies of the Voter Guide will be available in all 67 counties through media, local libraries, civic organizations and local Leagues.

Could it be? Could a Mitt Romney victory in November set the table in Washington for education-impassioned Jeb Bush?

Bill O'Reilly, reporting live Thursday from the Republican National Convention in Tampa during FOX's "O'Reilly Factor," had this to say after former Gov. Jeb Bush's elaborate speech on education:

"If Mitt Romney wins, Jeb Bush could be the next secretary of education."

With sustained winds of 80 miles per hour, Isaac is a hurricane now, bearing down on the Gulf Coast shores of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and the Florida Panhandle -- a slow-moving giant carrying violent thunderstorms along its edges and heavy rainful end to end.

Isaac arrives nearly seven years to the day after Katrina. Itbegan pounding the Gulf Coast on Tuesday afternoon with heavy rain and strong winds, gaining strength as the day wore on and prompting warnings about even more dangerous hours ahead.

For a minute there, Florida delegates to the Republican National Convention thought they'd fallen victim to another party punishment:

Waiting for buses at noon that didn't show on schedule.

But the buses appointed to transport delegates those 30 miles from far-flung Innisbrook Resort to the Tampa Bay Times Forum rolled in eventually. Eager delegates left to melt in steamy 92-degree heat were not amused.

A liberal onlooker remarked wryly, "This is the revenge of Jim Greer."

Congratulations to Andrew Kaczynski, BuzzFeed Politics' staff writer, who somehow managed to resurrect a tidy collection of Charlie Crist's anti-Obama tweets of 2010.

What these tweets do is prove Lenny Curry so right. Here's what the chairman of the Republican Party of Florida urged GOP leaders to do in response to Crist's endorsement of Barack Obama:

No, Charlie Crist didn't -- as rumored last week -- turn Democrat in a Sunday Tampa Bay Times guest column. But on the eve of the Republican National Convention, he did the next closest thing. He publicly, officially, endorsed Barack Obama for president.

The following is a statement from NASA Administrator Charles Bolden regarding the death of former test pilot and NASA astronaut Neil Armstrong. He was 82.

"On behalf of the entire NASA family, I would like to express my deepest condolences to Carol and the rest of the Armstrong family on the passing of Neil Armstrong. As long as there are history books, Neil Armstrong will be included in them, remembered for taking humankind's first small step on a world beyond our own.

Libertarian Party presidential candidate Gary Johnson is on the ballot in all 50 states but is largely unknown to the nations voters.
