If you know anything about the White House Correspondents Associaton Dinner, then you know that the networks vie to claim the nation's brightest stars as their own -- and bring those stars with them to the Saturday, April 30 dinner.

Representatives from Florida's immigrant community, traveling to the capital from throughout the Sunshine State, will conduct a continous three-day vigil, beginning at 4 p.m. Monday and running through Wednesday until 4 p.m. They will ask members of the state Senate to stop Arizona-like immigration bills -- particularly before the Budget Committee votes Wednesday, April 13, on SB 2040.

By mid-afternoon Monday the location of the vigil near the Capitol was still to be determined.

The latest investigative report detailing more waste and mismanagement at South Florida Water Management District has district insiders buzzing over the anticipated fallout.

U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio issued the following statement Friday to declare his support for and co-sponsorship of Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchisons Ensuring Pay for Our Military Act, guaranteeing that our military men and women are paid in the event of a government shutdown:

The shenanigans at South Florida Water Management District just keep on coming.

This time they involve bad ethics and bad purchasing practice (favoritism in selecting the contractor), bad equipment ($1.5 million in pumps that failed after being installed), bad follow-up (no attempt to collect on the pumps' five-year warranty), and abysmally bad decision-making that makes a joke of fiscal stewardship.

The official story is, Fox News' conservative firebreather Glenn Beck will "transition off his daily program" later this year into something else for the network -- something vaguely described as "digital platforms."

But head of Fox News Roger Ailes told Associated Press Wednesday, "Half of the headlines say he's been canceled, the other half say he quit. We're pretty happy with both of them."

One of the nation's highest ranking railroad executives -- whose job it is to study the bottom line -- apparently agrees with Gov. Rick Scott's assessment of high-speed rail's viability once it's up and running.

CSX Corp. Chief Executive Officer Michael Ward told Bloomberg News in New York this morning that CSX cant be part of" President Barack Obamas rail vision because passenger trains dont make money and high-speed trains dont belong on freight tracks.

Look for Tuesday to be a big day in The Great Florida Presidential Primary Standoff.

Florida Repubs have leaked that Republican National Committee Chief of Staff Jeff Larson will show up in Tally in the morning to meet with officials about the 2012 primary calendar.

Like Tampa Bay Rays pitcher David Price, Rick Scott was making his first opening day start.

The lithe, bald right-hander took the mound at a sold-out Tropicana Field against the Baltimore Orioles with his trademark smile and laser focus.

His ceremonial first pitch? A big lollipop. Outside.

Was he booed or cheered? Cascading boos were predicted. But to be honest, unless you were there, you couldn't tell. The pitch was shown on TV in a replay -- the sound was muted, distorted or plain turned off on the field.

Nothing will help Gator Gals shed those basketball blues quicker than a glimpse of the Great Gator peeling off his shirt and strutting his stuff in Jockey tight white.

You would think.

Trouble is, the long-awaited Jockey underwear commercial featuring a buffed-up Tim Tebow, who visited the Florida Legislature earlier this year, is a little bit of a cheat. It's been released just this week, we'll see it on TV, but something is very wrong.
