The 4-5 Tennessee Titans came into SunLife Stadium pretty much the worst defense, statistically. Until Sunday afternoon, they were on pace to set an NFL record for most points allowed in a single season. Yet the Dolphins could manage only three points against them while turning the ball over four…
Jon Stewart talks about this sort of nonsense a lot. Every election, he gets asked who he wants to win based not on his own political leanings but on comedy. Who will provide the best fodder for the meat grinder? Invariably, Stewart says something along the lines that it’s not…
Not being on good terms with the concept of the rule of law, cashiered ex-Colonel (and soon to be ex-U.S. Rep.) Allen West went to court today to ask for judicial action — though it was really extrajudicial action he wanted. That’s a concept the disgraced former officer knows well.West’s…
The Dolphins are back home this Sunday to take on the Tennessee Titans at Sun Life Stadium. This is a good thing because, as it stands, the Dolphins are a pretty mediocre football team while the Titans are quite crappy. But can Miami overcome its recent bout of The Suck…
The Allen West schadenfreude continues on the Pulp today! Palm Beach County Circuit Court Judge David Crow has denied U.S. Rep. Allen West’s motion to impound ballots and voting machines from his loss to Patrick Murphy in the District 18 congressional race. Crow ruled that West’s motion was “premature” because…
To say the web bridges worlds together seamlessly through invisible streams of data would be a gross understatement. In any case, New Times is well aware of the importance of the web, and we’re celebrating with our first South Florida Web Awards. We’ve scoured the internet in search of the…
Allen West is in court today to file a motion to have the St. Luice County ballots and voting machines impounded for a possible recount. Patrick Murphy leads West by about 0.66 percent, which is too big a lead to constitute an automatic recount. Under Florida law, you need a 0.5 percent…
Pill-poppin’ conservative blowfish blowhard Rush Limbaugh, like all the other GOPers in the past few days, is seriously butthurt over Barack Obama’s resounding reelection this past Tuesday. In rummaging through the Conservetard devastation handed to them (they couldn’t win Ohio or Florida… nut-jab!), Rush basically came to the conclusion that…
Anthony V. Mangione, head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for South Florida, faces a mandatory five years in prison for child pornography. Prosecutors are shooting for up to seven years. In 2011, Mangione was placed on paid administrative leave after his internet provider, AOL, reported his having four child-porn…
Conservative radio talk-show host Joyce Kaufman, who was appointed to be Republican Congressman Allen West’s chief of staff back in 2008 because, well, she’s just as batshit nutty as he is, lamented West’s loss to Patrick Murphy on her radio show on WFTL-AM (850) on Wednesday. Kaufman blamed the defeat…
Allen West isn’t giving up without a fight. Even though the incumbent Commie hunter lost by 0.8 percent to Patrick Murphy, he’s demanding a recount. A West Palm Beach court is slated to hear West’s case for an injunction today at noon. But his energy will surely be better spent polishing…
If Crystal Lakes Middle School doesn’t cough up some details soon about why its security specialist, who appears to beat up a female student in the video below, hasn’t been disciplined — or thoroughly investigated — for the altercation, the girl’s father, Robert Donald, will take this thing to court…
As we said yesterday, it was pretty impossible for Mitt Romney to catch up to Obama here in Florida, even as close as the tally was. And, apparently, the Mittbot and his campaign agree and have officially conceded Florida. Florida’s 29 electoral votes gives Obama a 332 to 206 lead…
Back in June, BSO Deputy Anthony Vincent claimed he had been harassed by Broward Sheriff’s cops because of his sexual orientation. On February 15, Vincent, who was riding his motor scooter, was pulled over in Southwest Ranches. In his claim, Vincent says that the deputies ticketed him for speeding, even…
UPDATE 3:45 P.M.: Capt Engel says: “We found the girl. She had a copper-colored gun lookalike that’s a lighter.” Did the police and school security overreact or not? “I think that they did what was right, because you don’t know. If you saw this thing, it looks just like a…
Barack Obama won both the electoral votes and the popular vote (and he did it without Florida, which is looking like it will go to him anyway!) Despite those things that reelected our president and will have him serve a second term, the real winner of the 2012 election was…
Since mock execution is not an accepted method of investigating election results in South Florida, confessed torturer and probable one-term congressman Allen West has turned to the next-best thing: a team of high-powered attorneys.See also:-Allen West Won’t Concede, Demands RecountTuesday’s results in West’s contest with young Patrick Murphy for U.S…

On Tuesday, Floridians went to the polls and voted against the state GOPer Legislature instilled amendment that would have banned government-mandated health insurance requirements. Basically, had the amendment passed, it would have exempted Floridians from the Affordable Care Act. But it failed to pass, losing 52 percent to 48 percent…
There was a moment — maybe it’s difficult to remember now — but there was a moment back in early September when Barack Obama ran advertisement after advertisement suggesting Mitt Romney was a rapacious and perhaps soulless businessman. But the question was: Would the barrage work? Would the message stick?…
Last Friday, Apple Stores around the country hosted long queues of heavily bundled citizens waiting out weather and time to buy a cache of new limited-supply products, including the unlocked iPhone 5 and the just-released iPad Mini and iPad 4. At Apple’s Lincoln Road store in the heart of South…
“What the fuck is up, Coachella?” In the dark California desert, a rapper who had been dead for 15 years shouted to tens of thousands of fans. Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre flanked the stage, but the projected likeness of Tupac Shakur was the main attraction at the 2012 Coachella…
