Here We Go Again - "Gov. Jeb Bush and the state House of Representatives support the cap; the state Senate initially rejected caps but has since proposed much higher caps of its own. The House has rejected those. The governor, noting how far apart the two sides of the Legislature are on the issue, has scheduled six -- that's right, six -- weeklong special sessions, starting Wednesday. That could mean a long, frustrating summer for lawmakers, doctors and consumers, as the various competing interests step up both the rhetoric and the seemingly contradictory information." See "Legislature will try again this week on malpractice caps".
"Get Over It, Governor" - "Mr. Bush, though, appears bent on exacting political revenge from the trial lawyers -- holding hostage access to quality medical care for millions of Floridians in the process. In recent weeks, Mr. Bush has excoriated trial lawyers for opposing his plan to impose a $250,000 cap on pain and suffering awards for victims of medical malpractice. He's so angry, in fact, that he'd rather plan six more legislative overtime sessions than negotiate an equitable solution."
Surely Foley Can Do Better Than This (Then Again, This Stuff Does Excite The GOP Base) - Would be U.S. Sen. "Foley, of West Palm Beach, has hit the national TV and radio talk-show circuit in recent weeks to bash a Tampa-area summer camp not unlike most camps -- except that the boys and girls, ages 11-18, are naked. Foley, a Republican hoping to replace Sen. Bob Graham, says that letting naked teenagers play together is immoral and potentially dangerous." See "Nudists: Foley's attack on camp is malicious".
Same Old, Same Old - Bush appoints a task force on economic diversification. Whoop dee doo.
