Tom Grady, commissioner of the Florida Office of Financial Regulation, told his staff this morning he will resign his position, effective "soon." He said he has been appointed to head up Citizens Property Insurance Corp. -- a move made by the Citizens board of directors.

Rush Limbaugh still claims he isn't worried about advertisers quitting him because he called college student Sandra Fluke a "slut." He says he can pick up more radio advertisers at the drop of a hat -- in fact, "he insists he's turned away 'millions.'"

Who so far have announced they'll pull their ads? There are seven companies: AOL, ProFlowers, Quicken Loans, Sleep Number beds, Sleep Train, Citrix Systems and LegalZoom.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals media writer Amanda Schinke wrote Sunshine State News a letter to the editor taking issue with my blog of Feb. 27, "PETA, Pet Deaths and O.J. Simpson's House."

In the interest of fairness, I would like to print the body of her Feb. 29 letter here:

Judge Carl J. Barbier of the Federal District Court in New Orleans issued an order late Friday night to award victims of the BP oil spill $7.8 billion in damages.

Hardly surprising that senior Barack Obama campaign adviser David Axelrod wears his heart on his sleeve where Charlie Crist is concerned. The Obama camp wants the fallen former Republican governor back in the president's warm embrace.

While he was in Gainesville Wednesday night, Axelrod told the Tampa Times this:

Kirk Fordham, CEO and the human face of the Everglades Foundation since 2008, has resigned to become executive director of Gill Action, a Colorado-based organization that provides funding for pro-gay political campaigns across the nation. It's a job that starts April 16.

Billionaire founder of the organization Paul Tudor Jones will lead the search for a replacement for Fordham.

A story published in The Daily Caller shows that People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), an organization known for its uncompromising animal-rights positions, killed more than 95 percent of the pets in its care in 2011.

Have a look at Cora Currier's doozie of a story posted Friday on ProPublica, under the headline, "Banks Colluding with Insurers to Rip Off Homeowners, Lawsuit Alleges." Currier explains, "More than 20,000 Florida homeowners can now sue Wells Fargo and an insurance company, QBE, for allegedly overcharging for insurance. More than $50 million in insurance premiums are at issue, according to American Banker."

The Republican Party of Florida still remembers the start of 2011 when Democrats in Florida had a voter registration advantage of more than 580,000. By the end of 2011 it was cut to a little less than 503,000.

But now, with numbers counted through January 2012, the Democrats' advantage is reduced to 483,869.

RPOF claims its accelerated voter registration program has produced the following results:

Financial disclosures for the month of January reveal why President Obama and his team may have changed their priorities when it comes to embracing the unlimited donations allowed by super-PACs.

Priorities USA, the not-so-super group backing President Obama, reported a mere $59,000 for the first month of the year. That's pocket change compared with Republican counterparts. Restore Our Future, the pro-Mitt Romney group, raised $6.6 million, while Winning Our Future, which fuels Newt Gingrich, raised $11 million.
