Sept. 25: Security Reservations, Wimpy GQ and Taxes

*Oh Mr. Bin Laden, you're ready for boarding
Is TSA kidding about this?

How long would it take a terrorist to get around such a system?


*GQ caves in
A link, via Romenesko, to the Politco piece about
Gentleman’s Quarterly being too much of a gentleman to
the Clintons:

Ugh. I hope someone picks up that article. Shame on GQ
– and on the Clintons.


*Florida Democrats don’t cave in
The St. Pete Times editorial says it best:

Maybe a Florida Democrat should be recruited as the
party’s presidential nominee. They seem to have more
guts than the leading party contenders.

Michael Mayo of the Sun-Sentinel also addresses the
issue:

*Property tax ruling fallout
Please, Florida Legislature, just make things easier
for yourself and your state and don’t appeal the
ruling by Leon County Circuit Judge Charles A. Francis that struck the property tax
proposal, as currently worded, from the Jan. 29
ballot. You have a special session coming up. Just fix
the language. If you say you want to save Floridians
money, start with yourselves – and fix the language. No more court cases (at least until after the election).
