Pushing Rope: Someone please kill the Daily Loaf blog

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

Repost from Pushing Rope: I am searching for the words to perfectly describe just how bad is Creative Loaf blog Daily Loaf. There is the crash and burn attempt at satire. The fictional Charlie Crist romance novel is boringly pointless. “Horrible doused with awful, that’s how I’d describe it. Yikes,” Litbrit told me. “Oh my God, and here I was thinking Gov. Sanford was the worst writer in the world!” Daily Loaf stooped lower by posting nude photos of Gossip…

WTF happened to St. Petersblog?

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

Three months have passed since the last article was posted on St. Petersblog, the snarkiest of local blogs and recipient of a Creative Loafing “Best of the Bay” award. Before that, posting had been increasingly sporadic, which leads me to believe that the anonymous minds behind the blog must have gotten a real job OR (my theory) Alex Pickett was the brains behind the operation, grew tired of toiling away in anonymity and transitioned to the site Will Write For…

Exclusive: Deveron Gibbons, Kathleen Ford lead race to be next Mayor, according to SP voter survey

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

The Times isn’t the only source with for exclusive polling information. I’ve obtained a copy of a comprehensive voter survey of 400 registered St. Petersburg voters. I’ll be sharing the results of this survey throughout the week. For Deveron Gibbons, the glass is either half-empty or half-full. For Kathleen Ford, the glass is surprising filled-up. For the mythical candidate “Undecided,” the cup runneth over. In a survey of voters in St. Petersburg City Council Districts 5,6, and 7, Gibbons was…

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

The Times isn’t the only place for exclusive polling information. I’ve obtained a copy of a comprehensive survey of 400 registered St. Petersburg voters. I’ll be sharing the results of this survey throughout the week. One of the first kernels of knowledge I gleamed from the poll was the low opinion voters in Midtown and other neighborhoods south of Central Avenue hold of Rick Baker’s political judgment. Despite eight years of focusing his attention on improving the Southside, Rick Baker’s…

Maybe, just maybe, the Times is partially responsible for St. Pete voters’ apathy

in Peter/The Bay and the 'Burg by

Not to stir up any more trouble for myself than I usually do, but maybe, just maybe voters are undecided about whom to vote for St. Petersburg Mayor because the Times coverage is so lackluster. Not for lack of trying. The Times has bombarded the voters with coverage of the trivial and trivial candidates. Whether it be stories about Rays’ tickets, “sign monsters” or Kentucky Fried Chicken, the focus has been on what is Buzz worthy, rather than what is…

Gulfport leaders raise $ for Jamie Bennett

in Peter/The Bay and the 'Burg by

Read the atrocious newsletter from the Jamie Bennett Campaign and noticed that, not only was Gulfport Mayor Mike Yakes supporting Bennett, but it looks like Gulfport City Commission members Michelle King and Sam Henderson are raising money for Bennett’s campaign: Oh, and if you don’t think there’s a difference between what I do and what others try to do, look no further than the difference between these two newsletters; one is sharp, professional, well-written: The second newsletter is, well, it’s…

Newton’s main criteria for who would make the best Mayor? According to Newton, often the lone voice of dissent on the City Council, that the candidate be like him and not be like everyone else. “He is just like me,” Newton said.…
