Attacking a man recovering from knee surgery in an electric wheelchair is never a good look, but we at least empathize with what sent 77-year-old William Golladay over the edge. He was just sticking up for basic manners and civil decency when the man in a wheelchair tried to sneak…
On first glance, the image to the right looks like an alligator with a laser strapped to its back, which is surely some evil genius’s biggest dream. In reality, it’s a camera placed there by University of Florida biologists. That may not be as exciting as laser-armed gators, but getting…

Last year, an attempt to rewrite Florida law to legalize beer growlers went nowhere fast in the state legislature.

Poor Republican legislators are surely going to be in a bind over this. On one hand, they’re used to bending to the whims of big business. On the other, they party has gone all in on the “Yeah, LGBT people are kind of icky” front. So what are they to…
