Viewpoint: Cuts to Visit Florida unwise
- December 15, 2016
Pitbull's duties included things like filming the video for his single "Sexy Beaches" on an actual Florida beach, and using the hashtag #LoveFL. "This suit is not about Pitbull or his compensation", Corcoran said. It's hard to tell what type of return-on-investment taxpayers are getting on Visit Florida's funding of Pitbull - or from sponsorship of a Le Mans race vehicle team, for which payments are also concealed.

Rondon bags a hat-trick
- December 15, 2016
Three headers sunk Swansea and Tony Pulis' side have now won four of their last six games and, although Pulis refuses to discuss Europe, it remains a growing possibility. Bradley's side were comfortable and dictated the play but needed to be saved by Lukasz Fabianski nine minutes before the break. Swansea managed to steady the ship and capitalised on unusually sloppy West Brom defending to snatch a goal of their own with 12 minutes remaining, Routledge volleying into an empty net. (more...)

Huskies Playoff-Ready After Rout
- December 15, 2016
It's the first conference championship since 2000 for the Huskies (12-1), who will nearly certainly be rewarded with their first College Football Playoff berth. Backup Steven Montez did his best to fill in through the end of the first half, but Liufau was thrust back into duty to start the third quarter . It's not the toughest path to the playoff, but the best path to the playoff is to not get tangled in arguments with two-loss teams in the final weekend. (more...)

The Electoral College Is Not Democratic
- December 15, 2016
It fails to honor the promise of "We the People" embedded in our country's principles. Now, however, we face the real risk of tyranny of the minority against the majority.
