TAMPA - Something as rare as a string of green lights on Kennedy Boulevard will soon be commonplace in the heart of downtown:

Kids.

First question: Where are the parents of these kids going to park or will this just serve as another YAWN destination for Hillsborough County school children on a field-trip??? They go to Cracker Country from grades three thru five now. Seriously, the kids don't even want away from school bad enough to go there, it seems. AGAIN
The Children's Museum of Tampa will begin rising this year on one of the sweetest spots along the Hillsborough River, offering a daytime destination for some of the area's smallest residents.

Ooopsie, there goes that river access ...... AND there's that 'some' I wanted to address. This place sounds pricey as hell. Parking? No mention. Downtown parking? Well, it's f'd up at best. Pricey if available ... unless you have one of those self-parking lexus' which is the only reason I've seen for buying a new car lately. Which SOME is this referring to? Not a lot of families I have seen but it does explain those iorio benches .... and also something else I am finding a great deal of humor in lately. LOL. Just thinking about it makes me laugh, seriously. (Rachel and Kate, maybe this is my persecution complex manifesting as .... what? See if you can get me another Cat 5 diagnosis) No really, you'll see, it's a stitch when I get time to write about it.


Designs were finalized about a month ago for the 50,000-square-foot facility, which will outshine Kid City, its aging predecessor near Lowry Park Zoo.(she fails to mention the river, the FREEEEE PARKING the unpaved river, funland, cinderellaland and jungleland and all the other VERY COOL very FREE and awesome amenities at kid city and it's newly remodeled lowry park and zoo school in the same venue/area) Opened in 1965 as Safety Village, Kid City evolved into a number of child-sized play-buildings, including a Publix supermarket, a McDonald's fast food restaurant and a bank sponsored by JPMorgan Chase. It's so cool You really HAVE to see it.


OKAY this just out and out yanked my chain. Kid City is SO COOL. It's a lil village with stoplights and stuff. Then there is also a ball-field and all of Lowry Park and the zoo. An all-in-one and FRESH AIR DESTINATION for an entire family and visitors. As well, it's extremely centrally located. This city makes NO DAMN SENSE. Moving all this crap downtown for the new people and shattering the neighborhoods. I just read something hysterical about mine but I haven't got time to blog anything real so I'm just pickin the paper apart .....
Kind of cute, but not exactly a prime destination for tourists or local families.

"Kid City is really just one exhibit," says Heidi Shimberg, chairwoman of the museum's board of directors. "The new one will have 12 more."

(see above!!) Kid City has TONS OF COOL STUFF inside plus an entire outside city. They even have little cars the kids can drive around. Seriously, it's the coolest place and if you haven't been there --- go. I'm sure like everything else they are doing their part (the new people) to drive it downhill but some things are just cool. This lady ... maybe she's an indoors-type gal or maybe her interests are different from a child's but KIDS LOVE KID CITY, man.

The museum, designed for children from birth through elementary school, will be adorned with a fountain and plush landscaping (kids are ALL ABOUT some plush landscaping) along the riverfront, Ashley Drive and Gasparilla Plaza. A children's garden will separate it from the Tampa Museum of Art, which is to be demolished and then rebuilt in time to open in spring 2009. (I can't even mess with this one; this sentence stands on it's own in terms of HILARITY ----- only in Tampa ... built by developers for the mob for developers for the mob, run by a smiley face) (and, yeah, I KNOW it's NOT only in Tampa) FDBD=Tampa's FUBU For developers by developers. The children's museum is slated to open in the fall of that year.

According to Shimberg, its most striking feature will be a 30-foot-high children's climbing structure tracing the path of a raindrop from clouds to aquifer.

Other exhibits will include:

Planes, Trains, Autos and More! Demonstrates Florida history with models of Spanish galleons, a Seminole dugout canoe, trains and a futuristic hybrid car.

Art Smart. A place for trying out various types of art.

Get Going. Offers a variety of games and sports, some of them a little quirky.

En La Playa (On the Beach). Children can play in sand and build castles.

KidsPort. Offers water play, allowing children to run a mock shipping center, wade into the water to float boats, use tongs as cranes to move shipping containers and build a causeway for toy cars.

Safety Village NOW. Similar to Kid City, it encourages children to explore a make-believe town and select healthy foods, get medical treatment for dolls or adopt a pet at the veterinarian's office.
ummmm WTF? Does this mean we won't need kid city for the 'other' kids in tampa who aren't included in the 'some' above??

Tampa Tots. Provides an area where children younger than 3 can play while their parents watch.

Tampa Live! Children can make and perform on videos.

Plan it, Build it. Exposes children to a variety of building experiences.

The exhibits will be "kids' scale" - meaning constructed at the height of young children - and also will include classrooms, an auditorium-theater and a hall for traveling displays.

Hey Jack Lamb she don't HAVE to pick up her marbles and leave ....

It doesn't MATTER where Lee deCesare LIVES.

And, noted, is it any of your business Jack, unless you want to get her water bill taken care of on county time???
After all, yall chased Doug Erwin off to Georgia when he pointed out your shortcomings but he still knows about you. Lee knows the inner workings of Hillsborough Cty and it's School 'board' better than you do. Oh .. wait --- NOT BETTER. Just differently. Like -- the integrity way. Not the Changing Stories way.

Which I notice that Mrs. Robinson defended. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. That's a two hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm - er Hey, ummmm Mrs. Robinson .. I guess he accidentally used a secretary, work stationery and .... MY MONEY to take care of his personal stuff. Yeah, that's jake. The thing is ---- he was floundering with different stories. I have long noted that many --- MANY ---- LO THE MANY Hillsborough County and City of Tampa employees use OUR MONEY and the time WE are paying them for to abuse our children emotionally and sometimes publicly and take care of their own business. There used to be newsreporters in Tampa who covered this. Some of us can read. Oh, and fundamentally then grasp same. he. Mrs. Robinson, it sucks that you defend a lack of integrity. But not really surprising.

Snappy comeback, Jack. Set your lunchbox down, will you? I hope she does take action against you.

It's a joke. ALL OF YOU are a joke. Buddying up with Elia. WHO DO YOU SERVE???

OH, and I'll be realllllllllly interested in seeing that 28 million we save. LOL !! Have elia give back her bonus and salary like serious lewis was willing to do. These people are GREAT at voting themselves more dinero. No wonder they are no good with budgets. They need more money? Hey the public trough is WIDE OPEN, help yourself. After all, it doesn't matter if you 'win' the election. (Who's your buddy???) You'll get to sit on the board, anyway. Whenever they say 'veteran' ala Candy Olson ... it's scary. Whenever she first ran remember she was the one who was going to usher in CHANGE?? FUCKING LOL !!!

I don't have a lot of sympathy for all of the teachers but I DO have some for some of them. They're carrying the load for all .... As well, the school board is just OUT OF LINE. What do these people think this job IS?
It's like they just take their place behind the big plastic banner and hold it up so it doesn't slip and that's all THE FUCK they do.

Kucinich Made HISTORY -- and you can vote on it

Here's where you can go vote for or against impeachment of dick.

I just spoke with Dennis Kucinich's Congressional office in Ohio.

What timing.

If you ever felt that you don't MIND that big media is controlled by the bushies/masons/etc....

now is the time to wake up and realize that we are about to lose a VPOTUS and you don't even KNOW IT. But, if he shoots someone or talks about his family, we know it. When he's ready to let us know it, that is. HEHE Here's a way to STOP BIG MEDIA from continuing their assault on Freedom of Press

when I asked the aide if I were correct and if this was an historical undertaking: 'has a vice president ever been impeached before?' he was quite sure it was the first time.

Neither of us are absolutely positive but I'm right next door to sure.

So, they're not covering it in Florida. They're not covering it in Ohio (home of the Presidential Candidate who is also Congressman, Dennis Kucinich)

I know they're covering it in the NY Times and Vermont.

Does anyone know if this is the first time that a VPOTUS has ever been impeached?

And Democratic Underground has it going on.

Oh, yeah -- this would be THE TIME that liberals and progressives ACT LIKE IT.

WHY aren't the St Pete Times and the Tampa Trib covering this HISTORICAL IMPEACHMENT ?

AND, I guess the excuse can't be made 'this' time that this is simply 'not big enough'.

Can it?

THIS IS BIG, FOLKS.

Pair that with ol condy refusing subpoenas . . whoo HOO we got us a big laugh coming.

We'll see who laughs last.

This helps the picture too .....

.Condosleezza Rice was a Chevron Director from 1991 until January 15, 2001 (TEN YEARS) when she was transferred by President George Bush Jr. to National Security Adviser. Previously she was Senior Director, Soviet Affairs, National Security Council, and Special Assistant to President George Bush Sr. from 1989 to 1991.

Another Chevron Corporation giant in the Bush administration is Vice President Dick Cheney. Vice President Cheney was Chairman and Chief Executive of Dallas based Halliburton Corporation, the world’s largest oil field services company with multi-billion dollar contracts with oil corporations including Chevron. Lawrence Eagleburger, a seasoned Bush counselor who held top State Department posts under George Bush Sr., is a director of Halliburton Corporation.

Here's the oil-tanker named after Condi ....





Here's a great read from The Nation.

Condosleeza Refusing Subpoenas??? How NIXONIAN !!

Rice signals rejection of House subpoena
By MATTHEW LEE, Associated Press Writer 2 hours, 8 minutes ago
OSLO, Norway - Secretary of State
Condoleezza Rice' name=c1> SEARCHNews News Photos Images Web' name=c3> Condosleezza Rice said Thursday she has already answered the questions she has been subpoenaed to answer before a congressional committee and suggested she is not inclined to comply with the order.
Rice said she would respond by mail to questions from the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on the Bush administration's prewar claims about
Saddam Hussein' name=c1> SEARCHNews News Photos Images Web' name=c3> Saddam Hussein seeking weapons of mass destruction, but signaled she would not appear in person.
"I am more than happy to answer them again in a letter," she told reporters in Oslo, where she is attending a meeting of
NATO' name=c1> SEARCHNews News Photos Images Web' name=c3> NATO foreign ministers.
The comments were her first reaction to a subpoena issued on Wednesday by the committee chaired by Rep. Henry Waxman (news, bio, voting record), D-Calif.
Rice said she respected the oversight function of the legislative branch, but maintained she had already testified in person and under oath about claims that
Iraq' name=c1> SEARCHNews News Photos Images Web' name=c3> Iraq had sought uranium from Africa during her confirmation hearing for the job of secretary of state.
"I addressed these questions, almost the same questions, during my confirmation hearing," she said. "This is an issue that has been answered and answered and answered."
Rice noted that she had been serving as
President Bush' name=c1> SEARCHNews News Photos Images Web' name=c3> President Bush's national security adviser during the period covered by the panel's questions and stressed the administration's position that presidential aides not confirmed by the Senate cannot be forced to testify before Congress under the doctrine of executive privilege.
"This all took place in my role as national security adviser," she said. "There is a constitutional principle. There is a separation of powers and advisers to the president under that constitutional principle are not generally required to go and testify in Congress.
"So, I think we have to observe and uphold the constitutional principle, but I also observe and uphold the obligation of Congress to conduct its oversight role, I respect that. But I think I have more than answered these questions, and answered them directly to Congressman Waxman."
Rice declined to respond when asked if she would absolutely refuse to testify under subpoena.
Her spokesman, Sean McCormack, said later that no final decision had been made about Rice appearing before the committee.
Waxman's committee voted 21-10 on Wednesday to subpoena Rice despite the State Department's insistence that the questions have already been answered and that the doctrine of executive privilege .
The congressman has complained for weeks that Rice and the State Department have failed to respond to questions about the claim that Saddam Hussein had tried to buy uranium from Niger.

There are misspellings in this that I had nothing to do with. LOL
