Wayne Garcia says I am a ‘one-man election wrecking crew’ — I can’t say he’s wrong

in Peter/The Bay and the 'Burg by

From Wayne Garcia, Political Whore, who has wasted almost as much time writing about the All-American City Awards as he has the St. Petersburg mayoral race and who has shown a definitive bias for Scott Wagman’s campaign, lists me as one of five reasons why the election is not connecting with voters: Former PoHo contributing blogger Schorsch should have been nowhere near the city of St. Petersburg election. After all, his arrest a few years back on charges of ripping…

Angela Rouson drops in on PoHo

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

From Wayne Garcia, Political Whore: Angela Rouson stepped into the Creative Loafing recording studio this week to discuss her campaign for St. Petersburg City Council in District 5, against fellow newcomers Steve Kornell and retired police officer Joe Smith. Yes, she’s the wife of powerhouse (and controversial) African American politician Darryl Rouson; but she came off as her own person — bright, articulate, well-informed and passionate — in her recent Suncoast Tiger Bay Club event, and she likewise was engaging…

Tiger Bay or Tiger Lilly?

in Peter/The Bay and the 'Burg by

Like with so many others, my relationship with Tiger Bay is becoming a love-hate situation. I love going to the forums, I think they hate when I show up and make the likes of Leslie Curran quiver with discomfort. Earlier this year and behind closed doors, the board of Tiger Bay contemplated taking away a fang-and-claw award I received for a question I asked Mayor Rick Baker. The rationale for this unprecedented action (seriously) had something to do with Beverly…

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

With the threat of imminent death that haunts all print media these days, it should not come as surprise that Creative Loafing is using a free service to advertise for writing positions that offer little or no pay. 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…

Creative Loafing’s slurping of Scott Wagman — and its downward spiral in general

in Peter/The Bay and the 'Burg by

Last week, Political Whore Wayne Garcia and I got into a minor scrape over my accusation of a bias by Creative Loafing for St. Petesburg mayoral candidate Scott Wagman, whose political consultant is the domestic partner of CL editor David Warner. My accusation began as just a gentle nudge; I left this comment at the end of a story about Wagman receiving Sierra Club’s endorsement: “Lots of stories about Wagman from the paper edited by his consultant’s partner.” Garcia unloaded…

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…

PoHo picks up some hardware

From Creative Loafing: Because Creative Loafing Political Editor Wayne Garcia would be far too modest to tell you himself, I’m reporting that this here blog, “The Political Whore,” won first place in the category of Blog-Affiliated last night in the Sunshine State Awards, the Florida-wide prizes given out by the Society of Professional Journalists/ South Florida. New Times Broward Palm Beach’s “The Juice” and the Fort Lauderdale Sun Sentinel’s “Broward Politics” came in second and third, respectively. But Kudos to…
