Support the independent voice of South Florida and help keep the future of New Times free.

Alan Grayson, who was booted out of his District 8 office in 2010, raised more than half a million dollars between January and September of last year.

There is no explanation of why the only specific attack on Grayson is to turn him into a bird and have him squawking. Take
