					<description><![CDATA[Hello, October. This is the final full month of the 2016 campaign cycle. In five weeks, we will know so much more about the future of the country, the state and our communities. But, no matter what, life will go on. For those in &#8220;The Process&#8221; — Florida Politics&#8217; term for the unending legislative campaign/legislative session system — it&#8217;s just two months before committee meetings begin. In fact, like many people I talk to who are in &#8220;The Process,&#8221; we&#8217;re planning for the 2017&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[First of all, congratulations to the uber-hip readers at Creative Loafing who, in their Best of the Bay voting for Best Reporter in 2016, selected a columnist who retired two years ago. Congratulations also to our U.S. Congress who, by voting for a budget bill last to avoid a government shutdown, now gets to skip town for another two months before returning for an inevitable lame-duck session. Wait a minute, some of you might think — didn&#8217;t they just have a seven-week summer&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The news yesterday that the Tampa Bay Times and absorbed the assets of the crosstown rival Tampa Tribune marks the end of rumors which I can recount starting back in 2008. That&#8217;s when stories surfaced that the paper would fold after the 2009 Super Bowl; That didn&#8217;t come to pass. Then the rumor was the Trib would fold after the 2012 Republican National Convention. That too proved to be false. It&#8217;s no longer false, and our community is less for it.&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In a major announcement, SeaWorld Parks &#38; Entertainment Inc. said Thursday it will stop breeding captive killer whales. On the company&#8217;s blog, the company said it&#8217;s phasing out over the next three years theatrical performances featuring orcas. &#8220;We will introduce new, inspiring, natural orca encounters rather than theatrical shows, as part of our ongoing commitment to education, marine science research and the rescue of marine animals.&#8221; For years, animal rights activists had protested in vain that holding such animals in captivity was the&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[James Tracy was fired last month, though the Florida Atlantic University communications professor still can file a grievance to maintain his job. Although he would certainly dispute being labeled a conspiracy theorist, that&#8217;s essentially how I learned about him when I wrote a story about conspiracy theories in Creative Loafing. Tracy claimed the Sandy Hook elementary school massacre was fake. He also suggested that the Boston Marathon bombing and San Bernardino shooting were bogus as well. It&#8217;s when he got into a public dispute with the&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[If you don&#8217;t know of anyone who is caught up in the Florida corrections system, stories about the care of prisoners may not matter much to you at all. But they have been disturbing, particularly regarding the state of health care for those who incarcerated. Rick Scott ran for office in 2010 promising to privatize health care in the corrections system in Florida, and that finally happened in October of 2013, when Corizon Health Care took over (along with Wexford&#8230;]]></description>
