Really, Charlie? Another Run for Governor?
By Nancy Smith
Charlie Crist
So Charlie Crist waits hours, not even days after being sworn in as a member of Congress on Tuesday, to show up for his first fundraising effort -- and the Tampa Bay Times tells us Charlie will make his way back to Florida for a couple of fundraising soirees, Jan. 16 and 17 in his honor in Sarasota and Miami Beach.

You’re Old, You’re Sick, Get Over It
By Marilyn M. Singleton, M.D., J.D.
Senior citizens, don’t be fooled. The federal government asserts that Medicare sets a high bar for medical care and we are lucky to have it. Not so. It does, however, claim a virtual monopoly on health insurance coverage for all eligible persons.
Guest Column
Why Support the Democratic Party at All?
By Leslie Wimes
When all is said and done, like it or not, that is the ultimate question the new FDP chair is going to be asked by Democrats in this state.
Good Riddance, 2016
By George Will
Viewing 2016 in retrospect -- doing so is unpleasant, but less so than was living through it -- the year resembles a china shop after a visit from an especially maladroit bull. Because a law says "the state of California may not sell or display the Battle Flag of the Confederacy ... or any similar image," a painting of the 1864 Siege of Atlanta was banned from display at the Fresno County fair.

Amendment 2 on Med Pot: Now Comes the Hard Part
By Barney Bishop
Now that Amendment 2 on medical pot has been approved by Florida voters, the hard work of creating a fair but flexible regulatory scheme to oversee the implementation is critically important.
Leslie Wimes, Rising Star; Wildlife Paradise No More
By Nancy Smith
This column is a vehicle for a number of items in a bits-and-pieces, strictly opinion, sometimes irreverent format. Look for "Just Sayin'" to run once a week in this spot.
Guest Column
Getting Things Done for Florida and America
By Gus Bilirakis
Looking back on 2016, a turbulent year for sure in politics, we often saw the biggest rivalries and the loudest pundits take center stage. All along, my main focus was always working hard on behalf of Florida’s 12th District. We accomplished some important legislative wins for our communities, with 16 initiatives I wrote being signed into law this year.
Obama's Final, Most Shameful, Legacy Moment
By Charles Krauthammer
"When the chips are down, I have Israel's back."      -- Barack Obama, AIPAC conference, March 4, 2012
Guest Column
Fear of the Black Man AND Woman
By Leslie Wimes
Why so much fright about Dwight? This morning I had an email with a column from The Florida Squeeze about the Florida Democratic Party chair's race. This article was particularly interesting because it focused on me just as much as it focused on the candidates and the race for chair. It also mainly trashed Dwight Bullard, no other candidate. 
Making America 1953 Again
By George Will
It is axiomatic that if someone is sufficiently eager to disbelieve something, there is no Everest of evidence too large to be ignored. This explains today's revival of protectionism, which is a plan to make America great again by making it 1953 again.
