​The sky was gray and cloudy; the wind whipped through and briefly brought a chill rain. Yet by Sunday afternoon, Lake Worth's streets were filled with crowds admiring the 18th-annual Street Painting Festival. Artists came from as far away as Santa Barbara, California, and St. Louis, Missouri, to conjure beauty with chalk on asphalt. Organizers claim this is the largest street-painting festival in the world. Judging by the hordes of people munching kettle corn and peering at the ground, it was a rousing success.

It's always nice when a governor you have repeatedly ridiculed finds time in his busy schedule to send you a holiday card. Having neglected my mailbox for the past several weeks, I'm not sure when this gem arrived. But it sure is breathtaking. And the inside is even better...

A warm South Florida welcome to the pizza king.
Herman Cain is stumping in South Florida today, attempting to revive his sputtering presidential campaign with a $999-a-head fundraiser at the home of Palm Beach Council President David Rosow and a public rally at the Palm Beach County Convention Center. But before he heads over to the island of the rich and famous, he should stop by Harry's Banana Farm in Lake Worth. The dive bar famous for its billboard brilliance has a message for the Pizza King. And as usual, the delivery is impeccable.

Gov. Rick Scott keeps talking about how he's creating jobs left and right, but the evidence has been a little hard to come across.

Good thing we came across a tweet from the governor's Twitter account that claimed his office has proof he's been getting Florida back to work:

"Passed this sign in St. Pete today, proof we are creating jobs and getting the state back to work!" the post says, including a link to a photo with this incontrovertible truth of job creation.

Check out the photo, taken by Scott spokeswoman Amy J. Graham, after the jump:

Ever wonder what a 23-foot-long disgusting giant squid looks like?

Absolutely repulsive is what it looks like.

We got a hold of a photo from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, taken somewhere between the discovery of the squid off the coast of Jensen Beach, its necropsy at a Palm Beach County field office, and its delivery to the Florida Museum of Natural History for preservation.
