Dinner for Schmucks ***1/2
Comedy and Remake. Tim (Paul Rudd) is an up-and-coming executive who has just received his first invitation to the "dinner for idiots," a monthly event hosted by his boss that promises bragging rights to the exec that shows up with the biggest buffoon. He bumps into Barry (Steve Carell)--an IRS employee who devotes his spare time to building elaborate taxidermy mouse dioramas--and quickly realizes he's struck idiot gold... Hilarious. PG-13 114 minutes.  Three and a half stars

Oh what a night, late July, back in 2010, what a very special place to be, and I remember what a night! Sung to the song, late December back in 63, got it?  

Last night I arrived at the Doubletree Hotel at Sunrise and the Intercoastal, parked my car, and was greeted by my friend Sheriff Al Lamberti, who had just parked his. The 1st thing I noticed was that I was overdressed, Al was real casual, as usual, and I made the adjustment, leaving my jacket in the car.

After parking my car, I entered the lobby; I was met by our host, the incomparable David Singer, who was already working the crowd, and what a crowd it was!  Plantation's own Judge, and my buddy Marty & Jeannie Dishowitz came in, ready for a fun night.  His honor is sporting a new "goatee", and this couple always lights up a room.  Speaking of lighting up, as you know his Honor loves a good cigar, and Jeannie a cigarette, they were later seen on the top deck enjoying the same. Plantation resident, and friend, Judge Jeff Streitfeld was there, we reminisced when his Honor coached in PAL Biddy Basketball with his son. Judge Porter, is one of the coolest Judges around, a "real Person" who has a great sense of humor, and in touch with the real world.  She deserves your vote!  Other Judges included Bernstein and Luzzo, who I enjoy every time we're together...

The story of Rick Scott, his bid for Florida’s governor mansion and his campaign’s spending on a spectacular media blitz has been all over the news lately.  It has been reported that he has spent over 22 million dollars trying to get face time with the people of Florida and has recently reported that he will not take a salary when elected.  It has also been reported that since McCollum cannot raise enough money to combat Scott’s spending, and since Scott has spent beyond the limits set by the state, McCollum will now receive a dollar for dollar match from a state fund.

 
THE NIGHT I MET THE MAYOR PDF Print E-mail

I went to the Wednesday Town Hall meeting on July 21 mostly due to an info flyer I received from Councilman Fadgen about the proposed millage increase. Like almost every other resident of Plantation, I do not keep up with the business of our city. So, I was not certain what I was going to say to the council about the projected tax rate increase. I do know that the property values exploded in the past ten years and the city government might have grown in pace with the growth of tax revenue. Still, I had no real proof or any information to support this theory. That all changed when Mayor Armstrong began her pitch for higher taxes.

According to data provided by the mayor herself, tax revenue to Plantation rose from 17 million in 2000-2001 to 34 million in 2006-2007. A 100 percent increase in tax revenue in 6 years and now we have a budget crisis? Acting like a petulant teenager, she reasoned that at least she didn’t overspend as much other cities. But the real insult came when she had the nerve to ask for even more money since deflating property values have put a crimp in her mayoral spending spree. I sat in my seat holding back laughter at her foolish explanation while wondering whether she really believes what she is saying. Then again, here is a person that actually named a taxpayer-funded park after herself. Why should I be surprised?
