TAMPA BAY — The unfolding Washington scandal that has already cost Gen. David Petreaus his job and may well do the same to General John Allen, just enveloped our former governor Charlie Crist. The Daily Telegraph of London has recently reported that Crist dated the identical twin sister of Jill…
With Allen West refusing to yield to losing an election and Florida sending officials down to St. Lucie County to investigate the situation, it looks like we’re all in for the long haul on this whole “West Refuses to Concede” thing. Newly elected Congressman Patrick Murphy knows this all too…
Apparently people are just now noticing that Donald Trump is a racist birther dipshit and have petitioned Macy’s to drop him, his clothing line, his fragrance, and him altogether from those annoying commercials in which famous people are getting ready for the holidays. An online petition from SignOn.org asking Macy’s…
Now is when you step up, Mr. Mayors of Miami-Dade and Broward.Now is when you two political leaders of South Florida join forces, head to New York, and demand a meeting with Commissioner Bud Selig. You tell that twerp to nix yesterday’s trade of Marlins stars Jose Reyes, Mark Buehrle,…
Back in August, an undocumented immigrant named Oscar Silvan was beaten with a hammer, his skull cracked like an egg. He ended up in the intensive-care unit of Jackson Memorial Hospital for a week and underwent extensive surgery. But according to a recent complaint filed by the National Immigrant Youth…
Well, this seems rather fitting. The owner of the Marlins, known for insulting the South Florida community by lying and then gutting the ball club, just traded for a guy who is known for insulting the gay community. It’s like assholes just gravitate to each other. Yunel Escobar, Miami’s new…
Everybody, be cool. Now that might be a little hard, considering all the baggage that comes with Broward County and elections, but let’s for a moment — just a moment — think rationally. By the end of yesterday, the county Supervisor of Elections had tabulated all of the 1,000 heretofore-unaccounted…
After swindling the entire city of Miami, then building their tax-laden $560 million stadium and promising everyone they were going “all in,” the Miami Marlins have decided to gut their roster and trade away ace pitcher Josh Johnson, Mark Buehrle, Jose Reyes, John Buck, and Emilio Bonifacio to the Toronto…
JC Penney employee Marco Bartolon-Velasquez is facing video voyeurism charges after his cell phone was discovered hidden inside the store’s ladies room, according to Delray Beach police. On Monday morning, the West Palm Beach store’s Loss Prevention Officer walked into the ladies room and noticed there was something a little…
International Commie Hunter and wooer of women everywhere Allen West may have lost his bid for Florida’s 18th District (or so that’s what the socialists would have you believe!), but that doesn’t mean he can’t take his batshit nuttery someplace else. In fact, Sue Everhart, chairman of the Georgia Republican…
Whoops. Exactly one week since the election happened, turns out 963 ballots that no one knew existed have apparently been discovered. So just what happened? The Broward County Canvassing Board was told that someone put the ballots in the wrong place. Because, FLORDA! Nearly a thousand unaccounted-for ballots were put…
We’ve seen it before. And yet, every time he does it, it’s like witnessing a supernova in person for the very first time. It may take some work to grapple with LeBron’s awesomeness. Breaking down his game might be counterintuitive. Only because, even though we think we’ve seen this kind…
Everyone knows Miami is the place Hollywood goes calling when it wants sexy done right. Various films, from The Godfather, Part II to Scarface to Pain & Gain, have been shot in the Magic City. But what many don’t know is that a lot of films were also shot in…
Veteran’s Day honored confessed torturer Allen West by seeing the courts closed, allowing the disgraced former officer and his attorneys a day off from further embarrassing themselves. The legal maneuvers they’ve employed in lawsuits against local elections officials to stave off defeat in last week’s congressional race are so ludicrous that…
Over the weekend, the New York Post’s Page Six reported that Marc Leder (yes, that Marc Leder, the one who threw the “47 percent” fundraiser for Mittington at his Boca pad) has fathered a secret love child. Now, this shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. For one, Leder absolutely…
We’ve got some high-brow competition. And we know him well. This month, 20,000 copies of Fort Lauderdale Magazine flooded local mailboxes while another 10,000 copies are working there way into doctors offices, law firms, and the buildings of other professionals fancy enough to have waiting rooms.The editorial brains behind the new publication: Eric…
Man, some people really, really can’t stand having a black dude for president. So, in light of Barack Obama resoundingly winning reelection by virtue of both the electoral college and the popular vote and in the process winning traditional GOP strongholds Ohio and Florida, some brave American heroes have decided…
Three Orlando men were none-too-thrilled that Barack Obama won reelection as Black President last week, so they decided to drink their sorrows away, then also go drive through a mostly black neighborhood stealing Obama campaign signs while yelling out racial slurs at people, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. Because,…
A Jacksonville pastor who confessed to sexual crimes against not one but two underaged girls and is a registered sex offender is still being allowed to preach at a church while children are banned from the congregation because Florida is as assed up as advertised. Former Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church…
The election was literally six days ago (well, OK, two days ago if you count Florida), and Florida Republicans are butthurt about the results. So the fine folks at Public Policy Polling thought it would be a neat idea to exploit that GOPer melancholy and the infinite sadness and ask…
There’s a black market for everything, even turtles. Last month, we told you about an extensive sting operation led by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that took down a local yokel who was illegally smuggling turtles to China. It turns out this wasn’t a one-off incident. Turtle smuggling is a big…
A partial recount of ballots from St. Lucie County happened on Sunday and — news flash — Allen West is still losing. The recount narrowed Patrick Murphy’s lead somewhat, but the tally still isn’t enough to trigger an official all-out recount. On Friday, West’s motion to impound the ballots and…
