• Are You Ready for a Redistricting Rumble?

  When Rep. Ron Klein isn't twiddling his thumbs wondering if he should enter the Senate race, he's already looking toward the likely redistricting ruckus set to take place after the 2010 census.  "Mario Diaz-Balart has already told me he and Lincoln will be all over the state legislature to make sure their districts are strengthened,'' Klein told the St. Pete Post. We'd rather hear the Diaz-Balarts speak fro themselves, but after last November's close call, especially for Mario, it's no surpris

• Gaia Ristorante: The Full Story

  As Short Order reported last week, Gaia Ristorante, the latest venture of seasoned restaurateur Tom Billante, has opened at 101 Ocean Drive (Hilton Bentley Hotel)-- which I erroneously cited as the site of Billante's last Ocean Drive venue, ViVi. In fact, Prime Italian has moved into that space, and Gaia is its' new neighbor. There is a whole lot more info about the place to impart to you now. For example, we can say with certainty that there is a "walking menu", which features a laminated piece

• Newt Gingrich Makes First Florida Stop in His 2012 Presidential Campaign?

  Remember this Newt Gingrich fellow? I know he's been pretty much irrelevant for the past ten years, but he used to be speaker of the house until he ran his public image into the ground by getting caught up in a few games of ethical limbo and becoming a polarizing figure in the public eye. Now he has signaled he's somewhat interested in running for president in 2012 and just so happened to stop by a Republican stronghold in a swing state last night to diss a stimulus plan supported by our popular

• The Talented Senator Damon? Not If We Draft Judge Judy

  via Wikimedia CommonsThe proposed debate between Matt Damon and eminent conservative windbag Bill Kristol never went down, but that hasn't stemmed the hopes that Damon may be up for a public political showdown. Seems Mark Weaver over at the Florida Progressive Coalition Blog (as pointed out by our juicy brethren) thinks Matt Damon should run for senate. Weaver thinks the "career politicians" like Kendrick Meek and Dan Gelber spew the same "imperial foreign policy platitude" as Republicans, and

  Guaranteed cure for a case of the crabs.Truluck's seafood restaurant got its start in Texas, but its appearance in Florida is reason for stone-crab lovers to rejoice: The company keeps its own crab fishing fleet of 16 boats outside of Naples, Florida, where it hauls in enough crab to provide the chain with seriously fresh claws during season: "From our traps to your table in less than 24 hours." You can chow down the large claws for $10.99 each any time, either alone or as part of a "build your
