Blake Dowling: Not in this lifetime – tech and the Guns N’ Roses reunion tour

Published on August 2, 2016 in Apolitical/Top Headlines by Guest Author

On a Wednesday evening in 1988, I joined my friend Quinn Borland for an epic concert in Albany, Georgia. Opening for rock legends Motley Crüe was a little-known band called Guns N’ Roses. I was in middle school, so it was an incredibly big deal to be out on the town on a school night. The show was spectacular, and in the years to follow, the band rocketed to worldwide success. Fast forward to 1992, and my friend Ron LaFace…

Blake Dowling: Consumers can avoid feeling the ‘email Bern’ by hackers

Published on July 27, 2016 in 2017/Top Headlines by Guest Author

Debbie Wasserman Schultz got to “Feel the Bern” in the form of a hostile crowd of Florida delegates at the Democratic National Committee. Why were these Bern Victims so fired up? The email scandal of course, which led to Schultz’s resignation. The pro-Clinton digital documentation that was revealed in this breach and scandal is a mess. There are several old school rules of thumb that my grandparent’s used to use which were “make sure to get it in writing” and…

With the Democratic coronation of Hillary (and Bill again, too) Clinton slated to begin Monday, it looks like Congresswoman and Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz won’t be waiving her very curly hair, or the gavel as Chairwoman of the convention in Philadelphia.

I would ask her to step…

At 2016 RNC, yesterday’s weirdness is tomorrow’s reason why

Published on July 20, 2016 in 2017/Top Headlines by Guest Author

The great Hunter S. Thompson observed, “the genetically vicious nature of presidential campaigns in America is too obvious to argue with, but some people call it fun, and I am one of them.” Pity he’s dead. He’d love the 2016 Republican Convention. There are grown people wearing the lavishly decorated hats usually see only on mules plodding down Main Street in the town parade. There are buttons proclaiming “Life’s a Bitch, Don’t Vote for One” and t-shirts with “Trump 2016″ decorated with…

Activists’ fixation on land buy ignores reality during algae crisis

Published on July 11, 2016 in Statewide/Top Headlines by Guest Author

We can all agree that the toxic algae blooms plaguing the Treasure Coast are a tragedy that needs to be fixed. No one living in any community should have to experience the type of algae we have seen in recent weeks.
