Election Results
While we're waiting for the First District Court of Appeals to render an opinion, I took a look at some of the election results and did some down-and-dirty math to put some things in perspective.
Vote Matt Shirk on Nov. 4th.
Making history in the 4th Judicial Circuit of Florida, Matt Shirk is the first Republican ever to qualify for a ballot position in the 2008 General Election race for the office of Public Defender. The 4th Circuit includes Duval, Clay and Nassau Counties. No other Republicans filed paperwork to campaign for the office of Public Defender, leaving only a General Election contest between Shirk and the Democrat incumbent. "We were thrilled to avoid a Primary in this race," said Shirk. "While it is a healthy exercise for our democracy, it does put a strain on resources needed for the November election. We have a lot of work to do to unseat the incumbent who has been part of the Public Defender’s office for a long time. Prior to his holding the office, he served as an assistant under the old administration for more than 20 years. It is time that we get some new blood in the Public Defender’s office!"
Please Watch This Video
Hello Everyone Please watch the below video and forward the link to everyone in your address book. Every man, woman, child and household pet should be aware of what is going on nationally. Regardless Of How You Voted and Who Won...
I submitted the following as one of my first blogs. Even though the election is now over, and perhaps especially now that the election is over, it still applies. If your candidate(s) didn't win, give this some thought, and get on with your life: Bitterness, hatred and the desire for revenge slowly but completely corrode from within the vessel which carries them. They are the fuel of an agonizing process of self destruction, and a certain recipe for discontent. Righteousness heals, strengthens and sustains. Do not go forward blindy, oblivious to reality or in a pollyanna fashion, but cherish and nourish those things that are good within themselves: Among them are truth, honesty, self respect and compassion.

AWOL Again??
Finally the video has been posted, thank you My Clay Sun. I could not help but notice Mr. Robinson is AWOL again. It seems to me that if you truly want a job such as county commissioner then you should make every possible public appearance that is available. First he failed to debate Mr. Rutledge and myself and now it appears that he has failed to show up on the video. I have to believe he thinks he can win this race without having any platform, without making any commitments, without placing himself in front of the real voters. Apparently he believes he can win based on just having more signs than any other candidate.

D5 Video Missing
Last Tuesday I sat for the video interview at the Times Union. I have looked for the video but I cannot find it. I find the candidates for the other County Commission races but nothing for District 5! Has anyone else found it???

School Board Meeting during TS Fay
I attended the school board meeting this evening during TS Fay ( I guess they did not get the message from themselves that all school activities were cancelled in Clay County), and as expected, attendence was even lower than usual. You sure can get a lot accomplished quickly when you do not have those pesky citizens interrupting your meetings with their 3 minute time limit injections of common sense. Surprisingly, the most discussed items were the future plans for redistricting high schools and changing over sixth grades from elementary schools to middle schools. Of course, not too many controversial items will ever be discussed BEFORE an election, unless you can conveniently schedule them during a storm when no one will be there to witness the insanity.

I am so tired of Rick Beseler Ya'll
It is common knowledge in Jacksonville that Rick Beseler has always had an obsession with the media getting his name in the newspaper and his picture on tv. It just makes me sick! As I have started reading the blogs, I see the same old Rick. He could not take criticism, but boy could he dish it out. Staff Motto was always "Big Cases - Big Problems, Small Cases - Small Problems, No Cases - No Problems". Some Crime Fighter. And with the latest personal political attacks, I can't help but remember all of the stories that have floated around the office since the last election in Clay county. Stories of a SAO Chief Investigator that was called to the State Attorney's Office and held there standing at attention taking a tongue lashing for leaking information to a reporter for political gain and given the option of resignation or being fired. I have often wondered how you could work for someone for so many years and think they are just fine so long as you are still getting a pay check, but turn on them after you leave the office, or made to resign, whatever.
