Paul was a great asset to our board and is a great asset to the HCRP. I am saddened that he resigned because he was a good member of our board, however, he is the type of person that…

Continuing coverage of doctor’s racist email depicting Barack Obama as a witch doctor

7:20 p.m. – Tomorrow’s St. Petersburg Times story on McKalip. 7:18 p.m. – McKalip says he is taking a leave of absence from a leadership role with the American Medical Association. “That e-mail depicted such an offense image, and it was completely inappropriate for me to thoughtlessly forward it out,” McKalip said. “A person in my position, who’s trying to help patients and trying to do it in organized medicine, needs to think hard about the people he’s going to…

Video: Creative Loafing hangs out a shingle on Craig’s List but now the ad is missing

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

Or as Creative Loafing puts it: “Let me re-iterate again for those of you who may be under the understanding that we are currently hiring staff — we are not. This is not a paid “job”…and there is a MODEST pay model…

10 things I think I think about yesterday’s candidate forum at Tiger Bay

in Peter/The Bay and the 'Burg by

Honestly, I am often apprehensive about going to Tiger Bay. I know I make a lot of people (that means you, Leslie Curran) uncomfortable by just being in the room.

Karl Nurse drops a niiiicccceeee mailpiece

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

My dear friend Karl Nurse dropped a niiiicccceeee mail-piece. Nice head shot, nice soft colors, nice quote from the Times. The reverse has a couple of niiiicccceeee pictures of Obama and Morpheus. Karl basically is pulling a reverse Deveron, who sent out a mail-piece chock full of pictures of Deveron and Wonder Bread. I guess I have to give this piece a “B” because it’s so damn nice. The front is about as good as you can get without trying…
