Wow! If I had only known Jackie Pons was the lesser of two evils....

Seems a certain downtown church is experiencing a few deaths in their membership just a few months after scooping up still-nursing kittens and sending them to the pound to be executed, but they couldn't be related -- that would be a little obvious for Someone who supposedly works in mysterious ways. 

Hey, North Carolina, it's too late to repeal your bathroom law. You will alway be the bastion of Christian hate and intolerance. 

Time for another Benghazi hearing? 

Thursday night CNN and MSNBC were covering Flynn's request for immunity. Fox News was covering immigration policies. I guess they just aren't interested in that "Russia thing" at all.

The new Republican mantra - 'Make Russia Great Again'.

For more and more Washington politicos, the (R) after their names seems to stand for Russia lover, not Republican.

Lower prescription drug prices, outlaw TV ads for drugs. 

So, General Flynn wants immunity from prosecution to testify. Donald Trump was just seen heading to the pharmacy to fill a prescription for Viberzi.

What former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn SHOULD have said was "Lock me up."

Hey Pam Bondi, I imagine your buddy Donald Trump could sure use a big supportive hug from you right about now......

The White House doesn't hate fake news, they hate any news that exposes their shinnanighans.

Evan Powers who works for lobbyist David Ramba attacks Mayor Gillum and David Ramba wants to build a pool on city property and keep poor children out. Powers is hurting the Republican party

Green beans wrapped with bacon and sprinkled with brown sugar may not be as healthy as plain fresh green beans? Who would have thought?

Trump Administration has now endorsed Assad's genocide in Syria.

When will Mayor Gillum learn that his city email account is for official City of Tallahassee business only?

Oil exploration in and production in America can eliminate our dependence on oil from arab dictators and the continual uphevals in the Middle East.

If as has been stated the job of VP is worth a bucket of urine, the Job of a SCOTUS must be worth a ton of manure if it decided by the nuclear option.

In an attempt to distance himself from any ties to Russia, Trump has announced the appointment of two more advisers: Jared Kushner and his lovely wife,Irene.

To quote the great man himself, we need to fight put a hold on Trump's agenda until the investigation of his possible Russian ties runs its course and we "Figure out what the Hell is going on."

It is a shame that the job of a SCOTUS is having to be decided by a nuclear option . If I were the nominee I'd stay with my day job.Self respect you know .

Mike Dikta you need to go back to football, your cheap TV commercials aren't getting it.

Hopefully Trump's gift to coal miners will be eliminating their health insurance and letting them enjoy their black lung disease!

Rep. Gaetz and Dunn are totally devastated that they can't assign 24 million to the "poor man's health care grave yard."

retail test market; move the farmers' market from Shops on the Square (now scheduled for redevelopment) to the City's vacant land on Macomb St.???

Why isn't Trump dealing instead of "fighting"? So easy. 

Regarding the ACE move being final, a few weeks ago didn't someone ZING! "wanna bet?". (Note to ZING!Meister: Feel free to close with, "Wonder who that was." :)

NEVER FORGET! The fellows from the other party are also patriotic Americans. Don't destroy our great country over partisan politics. Please?

Mr. Hanna is certainly fine tuning what it means to get off to a rocky start.

Tuesday's School Board meeting was the best show in town. Rocky, sell the movie rights to Hollywood and you'll be able to finance a dozen new places for PACE.

Tit for tat. Maybe if the Republicans had done the right thing the Democrats wouldn't be trying to block their Supreme Court pick. How about working across the aisle like the founding fathers wanted?

Maybe, just maybe, the charity campaign snafu is just another example of privatizing state government gone bad?

Don't you GOPers wonder why Putin wanted Trumpy to win?

The Florida House and Senate are planning big cuts to Florida hospitals and those groups say it will hurt medical care access for the poor and disabled. Will Republicans blame the ACA when poor people die?

Infrastucture program will be Trumpankhamun's ultimate pyramid scheme.

Bee die-off: Caused by Trump Tweets.

Trump-Putin relation is not making America great, but it is making Russia great.

A travel ban should be issued for the Trump family.

I think I see a pattern in Tallahassee for crime. Do something unusal and keep the repeat criminals in jail.

Coming soon to tv - White House staffers will be participating in Cossack Dancing with the Stars.

I know a short cut to reviving Frenchtown. Have Gillium and cronies open restaurant over looking city funded entertainment park.

The latest must-read in the Kremlin (they love satire over there): "Iskusstvo sdelki" (The Art of the Deal).

Ivanka set to be Trump's second lady - his ex-wives have already had that title.

Enough already with the TWIT FITS!

Mr. Trump: You already appear to be under the mind control of Putin and the rest of us freedom loving Americans will pay the price! Wake up - Putin wants to rule the world and he already has you and your royal family in his back pocket! WAKE UP - WAKE UP!

"Development would be a bad deal for Frenchtown" I thought that was the whole idea.

Too bad about the brewery plans being cancelled. I was looking forward to their hospitality room.

Whisper something soft and mushy in my ear. Banana Pudding.

I heard Chris Christie is going to reduce opioid abuse by snarling traffic around pharmacies.

So what if you went to the dentist and dermatologist on the same day ... that's no skin off my teeth.

Power outage today. Capital Circle NE. What else is new in Tallahassee ?

Over at PCB. Feeling really patriotic as the jets strafe the condo.

When will the media and the public learn to call traffic crashes not "accidents" but what they are, "crashes"?

Finally something I can agree with Trump on: Democrats and Republicans should work together on an affordable care plan. 

More faces than normal in the Booking Reports. Guess they thought the new Sheriff was going to 'look the other way'.

A dentist and a dermatologist are a luxury for some of us. Be grateful for your short lived discomfort.

One thing I know for sure....Frenchtown should not be transformed into student housing and nightlife. The area should be kept as an historical part of Tallahassee and not another "college town". The city should make sure to not allow developers to creep in with their agendas.

The Tallahassee City Commission seems as eager to sell out the city to developers as the Trump administration is to give away the country to Big Business. It's just a matter of scale.

What a hate filled, polluted world you are creating for my young daughter GOP. I'm hoping hell is real and you take your rightful place.

The GOP is scared of Muslims, gays, Mexicans, blacks and change but we are the snowflakes, riiiiight.

Republicans support of fracking killed coal.

What's going on in the wild, wild West Wing? POTUS with his daughter and son-in-law on staff?

Did you see Hillary Clinton decked out in leather the other night? You know the saying. When in San Francisco...

Stay strong Rocky and School Board. Don't let them play you. Our K-12 students are your legal priority. 

Am I the only one who can't remember when it last rained? Was it playoff Sunday, January 22?

Is the surveillance of President Trump scandal bigger than Watergate? That's answered by President Obama's indefinite stay in French Polynesia which has no extradition treaties.

My take on the state charitable campaign - Solix isn't returning enough money to the politicians to make a difference, due in part because state workers haven't had a raise in 8 years. Don't scrap the program, put it back like it was. Is that an Osprey nest in one of the high pole lights at Chiles football/track field? The letter Ahmad's attorney sent FSU's general counsel sounds more like a threat - Pay up or else.

I will miss "The Spaniard". (PR should have done more with this.)

So Paul Ryan, I get it now.... one man's leaker is another man's " whistleblower". 

Pretty soon state employees will become like politicians and be replaced every few years by new people who don't know what they're doing.

The state quietly put new hires automatically into a 401K plan. Pretty soon the state is going to have to offer competitive salaries to keep anyone! 

Hanna payback: Randy Pridgeon gets promoted but he supervised schools who dropped to D's and never properly documented the infractions of Woody Hilderbrandt or Rocky Hanna when he was a principal. 

Trump said "no one knew" health care was complicated when usually it is phrased "who knew?". If Trump doesn't know it, no one must, since his brain is the best brain. 

Christie should work on health care, his, not an addictive drug. He knows food addiction. 

I just tried to "LIKE" a Zing in the newspaper ... didn't work.


Mr. Hanna after watching the way you verbally assaulted schools board members I fear for my child with you as superintendent. 

What message is our hometown paper sending when the front page of the sports section contains an article about the mens' NCAA Final Four, but not one reference to womens' NCAA Final Four can be found anywhere in the paper? You've come a long way, baby?! I guess not.

Just how many people live in Homerville?

As a true conservative and NRA nut, I demand our government have an "Open Season" on Americans exercising their 1st. Amendment rights!

Hey, TSA! Why was your Dallas airport agent so obsessed with "between the legs" pat downs?

During the campaign Comrade Flynn kept screaming" Lock Her Up!" In view of his treasonable acts we should consider applying the same chant to him!

Wow, it appears the memory loss syndrome associated with Trump officials meeting with Russians is slowly improving. 

So son-in-law, Jared Kushner, is tasked with both peace in the Middle East and government reform. Past experience? Real estate. 

Best place to see an alligator, says my wife, is after it's been made into a purse or pair of shoes!

Such misunderstanding. Mike Flynn isn't asking for immunity. He's asking for immunization. He wants a flu shot.

Remember r and m, there is a get out of jail card Waiting for you.especially if you tattle on attle.

If the Russians are trying to hack Senator Marco Rubio then we have nothing to fear!

Alternative fact example or SNL skit: Senator Rubio says his campaign was hacked by the Russians

We have all noticed the little man sleeping under the I-10 and Thomasville Rd. overpass. Where are the churches, where are the charities...where is the humanity?

Gillum: Not yet ready for prime time.

Trump and Flynn must have once again forgotten their own words: "You don't ask for immunity unless you have committed a crime."

It's not easy being a conservative in this Tallahassee Web of liberals.Sometimes they almost make sense. NAH...

Just looked at the GNP, up 2.1%.Dow up greater than 2000. The polls show people positive about their future.Let's bad mouth Trump some more folks.

The GOP has established new standards for the presidency: nepotism is fine, disclosure of tax returns is no longer required, conflicts of interests are no problem and tweet-length policies. 

Yaw'll remember the movie American Warewolf in London, where the main character, after being bitten by a Warewolf looks worse and worse? Kind of reminds me of Sean Spicer... 

If Ayala refuses to administer the law to the fullest she needs no budget.

Yea, the protesters are back. Oops, they aren't siding with the murder victims.

Thanks to the Tallahassee Democrat for allowing some balance in their news stories. Kudos to Nikki Manldin, who so generously "giveth" of her time while the bunny-burning Sarasota man and the WSJ Trophy Room man "taketh" away!

Trump threatened GOP right wing and yet they persisted! 

Ex Gen and Trump appointee Flynn won't need immunity from Congressional investigators. Trump will pardon or disappear him like his buddy Putin does journalists andother dissidents to prevent alternative facts from being aired. 

Little Marco feeling left out lately? He texted media with a "me too, me too" remark about being hacked by Russians during election. 

How much revenue does Panama City Beach "rake in" for fining tourists who unknowingly use prohibited metal tools for building sandcastles on the beach?

Mike Flynn takes the rap for the entire Trump team's Russian collusion and gets immunity. All the dirt swept under one rug.

Worse than even Trump as an indicator of our collective stupidity is the 57% of us considering North Korea, that Asian superpower, as our greatest enemy.

Only a hundred or so at the protest? Their organizers must not pay as much as anti-Trump organizers.


Trump calls the investigation of a Russian connection a "witch hunt." Watergate was called a "third-rate burglary." Where there's smoke.... .

Tempted Trump and Prurient Pence: Neither can imagine women are more than sexual objects.

State employees are offered far superior health coverage (compared to private sector.) They pay a minute percentage of the premium. - (happy to be) former state employee making MUCH more money

Why hasn't Gillum apologized (and compensated the City) for using Public time, staff and resources to promote his gubernatorial run? There is much more to this fraud than the cost of the software.

Trump should have chosen something other than My Way for the'theme' song for his presidency. The end might be nearer than he thinks and he sure isn't very successful in doing things his way.

Mr. Proctor What is the definition of a chocolate person? Not White, not Black, not African American.....

In referring to chocolate, was the Commissioner referring to White chocolate or Dark; If dark, then Semi-Sweet or Milk?

Please, no elephant! No donkey!! Just show me Uncle Sam, for a change!!

More tax dollars wasted at Lake Jackson Hwy 27 boat ramp. The new ramp falls short of being useful. Even the new dock is far from reaching the water! 

Kathleen Parker, say what you really feel; just not to the Democrat! This newspaper should be above that sort of vitriol!!

Hey Rocky you wanted to play in the sandbox. Now learn Sandbox 101- play fair, no throwing sand, and no threats.

OK Democrats suck it up, Neil Gorsuch is as good as you're going to get; probably better than you deserve

It hasn't rained in so long, my yard looks like the Sahara Desert.

You're not being critical or micromanaging if you're stopping a power grab or explaining to someone what their job responsibilities are

The WH says there is a witch hunt, so there must be witches to find. They should know. 

Mike Martin is a man of his word. The baseball Noles did what they do against the Gators. No point changing things when you are satisfied with the result, Coach. 

I once worked for a strong armed boss. They get theirs in the "end."

Suggestion: One column for Zing!s and one column for Rant!s.

Tired of shifting blame from a terrorist type attacker to FSU for the Strozier Library attack. Sad Mr. Ahmed was injured but the blame falls on the attacker. 

Can we agree on something? Don't put plastic bags in the trash or your recycling cart. Take them to Publix and put them in their bin out front. Thank you.

We need a better variety of restaurants in Tallahaseee, too many of the same in every area of town. We need more options from hamburgers and Mexican restaurants.

So many clucks still can't accept Hillary Clinton lost to Trump. TRUMP!?!?!? HaHaHa!!!

No one said it better than Churchill. "The inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of misery".

How can you write an article about the Pulse nightclub murders and not mention terrorism?

Can we hear at least one allegation Hillary Clinton is a Chinese agent for every one hundred Donald Trump is a Russian one?

The death penalty is appropriate for someone who has probably committed a heinous crime.

Do athletes on scholorship have to have the same test scores, grades, and character references as regular students at our state funded colleges?

Is it right to tax citizens to provide funds for businesses or charities that those citizens will never use?

If the Mayor can't follow the laws and rules associated with his current job why would you provide him a pathway to Governor?

If I-10 caught on fire in Tallahassee, we would lose power for at least a week.

The media today are asking if Trump is taking the Russian threat seriously. Media, he IS the Russian threat!

644-WFSU - we can't manage our finances, so we have to beg you.

Rule # 1 Trump - never fire a general with an ego bigger than yours.

My son wants to be just like Trump, a grabbing, grifting golfer. Son is grounded. Trump is golfing. 

Trump thinks golf is work. It should be easier now that we are paying for it. 

Trump could build the wall out of coal, set it on fire, then rebuild it with coal again. Sounds like a way to get those promised coal jobs back. 

For reasons that may not be apparent to me now, I can't help but believe that R. B. Holmes is shilling for Scott and Thrasher in ways that might be obvious later.

It could be that Melania is staying in NYC because she knows that the rest of the family will be leaving D.C. soon.

EPA. Environmental Pollution Agency or maybe Environmental Petrolum Agency 

You are sworn to uphold the law. If you don't believe in the death penalty, go practice in a state that doesn't have it or find another profession.

Bill Proctor should have his own page in the Tallahassee Democrat. 

Want a Baby Box? Use a mail crate. They sell them in colors at the bullseye store.

Regarding carpal tunnel, how about making the email box on the Zing! form autofill.

So, the leaks Trump has been complaining about came from his own staff. Anyone surprised about that? 

Does our democrat mayor understand the concept, "conflict of interest "?

After watching the insubordination from Superintendent Hanna toward the school board members he sent a message to all employees that he is going to come after anyone that challenges his opinions. I hope he gets counseling. 

It should not be news to anyone in this country that Russia is trying to "mess with us" anyway they can.

Trump publicly encouraged Russian interference in the election and he won. Just under half America colluded. 

Refusing to do your sworn duty is not a racial issue.

Mr. Proctor, chocolate woman? Puh-lease!

I'm a victim! I'm aggrieved, oppressed and disenfranchised. I'm disrespected, cheated and offended. I'm under attack; there's a "war" against me and others similar to me. April Fools! I'm just a liberal reading my script.
