On the Street

My daughter recently found herself living in a homeless shelter.

She moved out of state to live with friends, find a job and start a new life outside this hellhole called Florida.

The living circumstances were not what she expected (too much to go into here) and after spending a few nights as the guest of an empathetic few just met at her temporary job (yes, these people still exist), she managed to find her way to an open door that helped her get back to the hellhole.

Many thanks to those who help those down on their luck. And thank you, thank you, thank you for being there for this Frog's daughter.

Bondi Hires Aronberg

It's official.

Dave Aronberg jumps out of the frying pan head first into the mainstream.

The Buzz, 12/31/2010:

Republican Attorney General-elect Pam Bondi today named former state Sen. Dave Aronberg, a Democrat from Green Acres, to a newly created post in her office focusing on prescription pill abuse. "He’s very familiar with this issue. He cares very deeply about this issue," Bondi, a Republican, said of Aronberg, who made a failed bid to become attorney general, losing the Democratic primary.The fact that he’s a Democrat, she said, doesn’t matter."What I want to do is bring people together on all sides who all care about the issue," she said.

Aronberg will be based in south Florida and earn $92,000 a year as special counsel for the pill mill initiative. Shortly after her election, Bondi signalled she planned to make pain clinics that excessively dole out prescription drugs — so-called pill mills — a focus of her office.

As a Florida state senator, Aronberg had pushed for changes in the Sunshine State's residency laws for those persons designated sex offenders.
