by | Aug 22, 2016


As we count down the hours and minutes until the close of primary season 2016, The Capitolist has been hard at work collecting emails from anonymous sources about the state of affairs in Florida’s political scene. And the closer we get to August 30th, the nastier the emails get…

“Please don’t tell my Dad about the sunk cost fallacy.” –Patrick Murphy

“On this date in 1849, the first air raid in history was launched when Austria launches pilotless balloons against the city of Venice.” –Hudson the Historian
