What's going on with the Scripps deal in Florida?
This whole thing raised some flags from the start. Now this development is added to the mix:

With the ink barely dry on its $369-million deal with Florida, Scripps Research Institute already is reaching for the Wite-Out on its location.

Palm Beach County officials say the California biotech group is unhappy with the 2,000-acre tract it selected several weeks ago and now prefers a 100-acre site that is next to the north campus of Florida Atlantic University and the Florida Marlins' spring training stadium.

As to what influence FAU president and former Lt. Gov. Frank Brogan may have wielded, commissioner Marcus said, "He wants to be the campus for Scripps, and Scripps is trying to accommodate that."

It's a good article with some interesting unanswered questions at the end.

Maybe I've just become too skeptical and cynical and doubting about the motives of the bush family? Nah. Radar says something's not right here, and this merits watching.
