Linkage: News from around the Suncoast in five clicks or less

— An addendum to news about President Obama’s visit to Arcadia last week: Obama delivered a “fist bump” to State Rep. Keith Fitzgerald’s shoulder. Awesome.
— A Bradenton Vietnam veteran is honored for his service during a Rose Garden ceremony with Obama.
— A half-built Englewood eyesore (locals dubbed it the “Beirut” building) finally meets its end.
— Got a phone call from Clout 941 host Ron Filipkowski last week, and he has decided to hang up the TV show after a year on the air. That means no more “Weasel of the Week,” and one fewer source for interesting discussion of Suncoast politics. Hit up the website for an archive of all of Filipkowski’s broadcasts.
