Blog de León: Radio Daze
http://blogdeleon.blogspot.com/2005/08/radio-daze.html
Conquistador of Florida politics. Monday, August 22, 2005. George Thurston, amateur radio operator. Gentle reader, the Conquistador has many faults to admit. If you have looked at the dates attached to these epistles, you will undoubtedly realize the unconscionable gap in recent posts. It's become a fault that has grown into a seismic shift. In fact, it's been an eternity. Truth in advertising: I knew Link when he was a little sprout at WVFS. The voice of Florida State University. He called to ask a ques...

Conquistador of Florida politics. Monday, October 10, 2005. Justice in the Men's Room. G Harrold Carswell votes in 1970. Qualified to be a member of the Supreme Court? The question of competence has not been raised in a Senate confirmation hearing for many years, but the strange case of G. Harrold Carswell. Is well worth remembering. President Nixon appointed Carwell to the court on Jan. 19, 1970 to replace Justice Abe Fortas. Author Glenda Rabby chronicled the issue in her book, " The Pain and the Promi...

Blog de León: Soft Bigotry
http://blogdeleon.blogspot.com/2005/10/soft-bigotry.html
Conquistador of Florida politics. Friday, October 21, 2005. TK Wetherell peers over the shoulder of Beverly Burnsed at a 1985 leadership meeting in the Florida House of Representatives. Florida State University President T.K. Wetherell is a victim of the soft bigotry of low expectations. When he was chosen as president of the university, folks were curious about his lack of academic abilities. Hogwash, came the response from Wetherell supporters. Don't you want to raise money? In the courts of elitists&#...

Blog de León: A Day for Possum
http://blogdeleon.blogspot.com/2005/02/day-for-possum.html
Conquistador of Florida politics. Friday, February 18, 2005. A Day for Possum. A very unhappy possum. Campaigning in Florida is a multi-faceted experience, and you get out of it what you put into it. If you're a corporate executive, like Gov. Bush, campaigning will include lots of appearances with Realtors and developers. If, on the other hand, you are interested in attracting the great unwashed masses, then Florida has a lot to offer. There's the Strawberry Festival. Mule Days and the Watermelon Festival.

Blog de León: Like Maple Syrup
http://blogdeleon.blogspot.com/2005/02/like-maple-syrup.html
Conquistador of Florida politics. Monday, February 07, 2005. Sen Johns poses on the Senate floor with a visitor. The PBS show "Postcards from Buster" is proof of that old adage involving tragedies repeating themselves as comedies. Before being sworn in as the new Secretary of Education, Margaret Spellings sent a letter to the CEO of PBS threatening decreased financing. What was the heinous crime committed by PBS? In 1959, the answer came: gays. For the next few years, the Johns Committee called colle...

Conquistador of Florida politics. Friday, January 28, 2005. Inaugural detritus. littering our public square. Photo by the Conquistador). The psychology of litter is is a realm of privilege. People who leave things behind for other to clean up often have deceptively noble goals. "It gives the workers something to do," they might say. "Somebody's getting a paycheck." Besides, sticking it to the trial lawyers is so much fun. S "Life Everlasting" in the February issue of Harper's Magazine. Is a revolutionary...

Blog de León: Decant This!
http://blogdeleon.blogspot.com/2005/02/decant-this.html
Conquistador of Florida politics. Thursday, February 03, 2005. An undated Dade County liquor raid. The difference of opinion between Gov. Jeb Bush and Attorney General Charlie Crist on the issue of Internet wine sales illustrates a long-standing split within the Republican Party. Economic libertarians such as Gov. Bush want to see competition thrive. And the Florida Grape Growers Association's lobbying. Governor from the party to ever. Sen Dockery's bill would apply to only. Committing fraud to - gasp!

http://blogdeleon.blogspot.com/2005/10/rosa-and-wilhelmina-and-carrie.html
Conquistador of Florida politics. Thursday, October 27, 2005. Rosa and Wilhelmina and Carrie. A tense, inter-racial public demonstration becomes heated when white youth form a counter-demonstration on Dec. 27, 1956. But in Florida, FAMU students Wilhelmina Jakes and Carrie Paterson. Let us remember Parks, but let us not forget Jakes and Paterson. These two college students transformed black life in Tallahassee, and their simple act of defiance radicalized a generation of leaders. The business communi...
