Congressman Dave Weldon, MD (R-15) announced he will retire from Congress. He plans to return to private practice and wants to spend more time with his family.
There is a scramble to see who will run for the Republicans to fill the seat. Weldon already had Democrat opposition from another space coast MD.
No matter who fills the seat, the space coast has lost seniority at a time of great concern about the gap that follows the retirement of the space shuttle.

The oldest child of republican Congressman Dave Weldon is accused of taking off a high heel shoe and hitting a security guard at the County Line Saloon across the face with it. Don't you know who I am? (smack)

Pretty girl It must be particularly difficult to be both attractive and kind. ...attractive and humble. ...attractive and hard-working.
I have seen far too many attractive people who successfully use their looks for advantage, and let what's real kinda slide.

"After talking with her we feel quite certain she did nothing to merit her arrest and believe this will be collaborated by others," Congressman Weldon wrote.
In the meantime, his 8
th grade English teacher is planning to send the congressman a dictionary so that he can learn the difference between
collaborated and
corroborated.

Yes, he has been rock solid. A sure conservative vote on most everything. I'm not sure the same is waiting in the wings.
There is more info available in the local newspaper which doesn't allow us to link. It isn't FloridaYesterday.com or FloridaTomorrow.com but Florida_____.com. This will hit the Orlando papers too.

That makes 2 “R” retirements in what? 2 or 3 days? The pace picks up...

Well, unless he is engineering a cover-up in plain sight. :)
Never underestimate the power of a spell-checker or auto correction word processor to introduce a type of that nature, though. I suspect Congressman Dave had a lot on his mind today so he deserves a little slack if his proof-reading isn't up to snuff.

The oldest child of republican Congressman Dave Weldon... Why do I have the sneaky suspicion that if he was a Democrat, the paper would have left that detail out?

The County Line Saloon - I used to drive by that place! It’s in a strip mall off US1 in southern Brevard County. It’s a C&W bar ... not my style ;-)

The only thing worse than getting this wrong are the cowards who aren’t sure, and say “cowwaberated.”
