Steve Hogan: Would you like some cheese with that whine?
Poor Steve Hogan of the poor, poor Florida Citrus Sports people would like you to know that because we haven’t spent $175 million on that POS stadum in the ghetto, their big football game may have to move from its Jan. 1 date, and that would be a tragedy. Truly, a tragedy. Don’t get me…

The devil’s music
Since the 1940s, the white concrete-block building at 6440 N. Orange Blossom Trail has housed a watering hole. Today, it’s the Junkyard Saloon, a gritty biker bar just north of Clarcona-Ocoee Road sandwiched between used-car lots, with Harleys in the parking area and their owners downing brews on the front deck. A few years back,…
Lard ass
So by now most of us have gotten the message: Trans fats are bad for you. Really, really bad. What’s more, the same people — doctors, nutrition scientists, the whole fricking government — that for decades told us, “Trans fats are great! Eat up!” also held that all saturated fats are very, very bad. Now…
Hops on Pop
B Is for Beer by Tom Robbins (Ecco; 128 pages) While the idea of Tom Robbins writing a children’s book may seem strange, one need only look at the unlikely success that Carl Hiaasen has had with his two kids’ stories — not to mention the general increase in the willingness of aging hipsters to…

Sometimes you have to combine two ridiculous tasks into one ridiculous outfit. It’s that odd conundrum of efficiency that swooshes prom dresses up Wal-Mart tampon aisles, purple-flowered nurses’ uniforms through the indignity of Home Depot caulking emergencies, and nipple clamps and ball-gags into the hamster wing of the emergency room. One exhibitionistic task clearly outweighs…

Free Will Astrology
ARIES (March 21-April 19) “It is the greatest of all mistakes to do nothing because you can only do a little,” said the writer Sydney Smith. While this is always good advice, it’s especially apt right now. You’re in a phase when giant leaps of faith are irrelevant, and fast, massive accomplishments are impossible: the…

Please stop using the word “retarded” as an insult, Dan. I know it can be hard to break a verbal habit, but please make an effort. Perhaps you should have a “retard jar” on your desk that you put a dollar in every time you use the word. When the jar is full, send the…

Live Active Cultures
It isn’t every week that I take a drive west of I-4 into the land of Parramore, not since the last resident I know vacated the CityView apartments. So when I took a left turn on West Central Boulevard last Saturday (April 25) and found myself in a foreign city, I was disoriented: A small…

Two weeks ago, we spoke with University of Central Florida economist Sean Snaith `”Ponzi scheme,” April 16`, who says Florida has to dramatically alter its tax structure to keep pace with a changing paradigm. Since fewer people are coming into the state, a no-tax mentality built on an influx of new residents each and every…
Council Watch
The city put on its brave face for this week’s foray into circumstantial civics, with the mayor cracking an unfunny joke about cell phones to commissioner Robert Stuart, commissioner Patty Sheehan talking about birds and aquatic art, and commissioner Phil Diamond managing to say the word “great” three times in one sentence. Everybody celebrated the…
