• Guantanamo Bay Becomes a Video Game

  Sorry to be so GitMo heavy today, but ehgads there is a Guantanamo Bay video game in development. Yeah, we thought the idea of escaping from GitMo was and idea best reserved for fiction, and apparently we were right.  T-Enterprises, the British software company developing the game, says Rendition: Guantanamo is based on the supposedly actual experience of former-detainee Moazzam Begg. The hero of the game is sold by the US to an evil corporation known as Freedom Corp (which a

• News Roundup

  Dodging this shoe was like the most awesome thing President Bush has done in years. It kind of makes you remember why so many Americans wanted to have a beer with him in the first place. [AFP]Myriam Marquez wrote this horribly mean thing about Charlie Crist's wedding, and failed to make even one gay joke. Unless you count that part where she called it a "political fairy tale." Even still, I bet Charlie has no problem with keeping the honeymoon short. [Herald]Your Miami Dolphins kept the 49er

• Miami Blogosphere Sheds Tears of Hope During Inauguration

  The last thing in the world Riptide wants to do is step on the feet of Rick at South Florida Daily Blog, but we have a corporate mandate to do some sort of weekly roundup of local blogs. Not that we don't love acknowledging Miami's many fine bloggers, but we're going to try to do something different. Which is to choose a few blog posts on one or two hot topics from around the net and start some sort of dialogue. A diablog, if you will. Since today is kind of a one-headline day, we decided why no

• Sometimes Vampire Love Really Sucks

  So you're a 16-year-old girl, and you desperately want to break off the illicit internet romance you've sparked with a 44-year-old vampire. What do you do? The only logical thing you can do: tell him that you're secretly a member of an elite vampire-hunting unit and that staying together would place his life in grave jeopardy. Ah, young love. You can read all about South Florida's bloody vampire scene in this week's New Times. But apparently they have quit a scene up in Rochester, Min

• Least Powerful VP Since Quayle in Miami For Two Days

  When Barack Obama announced Joe Biden as his running mate, America responded with a resounding, "oh, ok." He's an experience, competent guy, don't get us wrong. And by all accounts he made some serious contributions to getting the cabinet together, but it seems that Mr. Biden has returned the Vice Presidency to it's rightful role: being sent about the country to do, eh, not so much. As we all know Dick Cheney pretty much single handedly ran the country for at least 7 of the past 8 year. Before t

• Crist Doesn't Want to Deal in Cheney Hypotheticals, Thank You Very Much

  The Herald's Marc Caputo was wondering if Dick Cheney ever crawled out of the hyperbolic chamber that keeps him alive in the torture dungeon basement of his demon castle, located somewhere southwest of Hell, and decided to campaign on Charlie Crist's behalf in the Senate race, would Charlie accept? Slippery Crist, of course, didn't really give an answer, only saying, "Would I be proud to? Nobody's offered. Let's see. I don't want to deal in hypotheticals."Crist obviously isn'

• Buckley: Joe Scarborough Has the Best Face in the GOP

  Joe Scarborough, a former Republican congressman and current MSNBC host, laughed away talks he might run for Florida Senate: "I don't really think it would be good to run in 2010 with a party that is actively associating itself with the Taliban." Christopher Buckley, son of conservative icon William F., left the magazine his father founded, National Review, and endorsed Barack Obama. They're not exactly the most popular people in their party, but they sure seem to like each other. At the time

  I didn't want to put up another pix of LeMieux's face, so in its place is the greatest picture of all time. ​Remember when Mel Martinez deemed his primary opponent Bill McCollum as the "new darling of the homosexual extremists?" Well, now he's being replaced by the new new darling of the homosexual extremists. The combined forces of the Times/Herald are trying to stir up some controversy by dragging out quotes George LeMieux made 11 years ago that give the impression he doesn't totally ha

  Let's just get this out of the way: Riptide is the last place you'll read any criticism of Alan Grayson, the U.S. representative from Orlando, for his raging political Tourette's syndrome.​We wish more politicians would jump on the Grayson crazy train. What's better than hearing your local rep of accusing opponents of wanting hospital patients to "die quickly"? Or listening to him call a federal official a "K-Street whore" on national radio?Or possibly our favorite Grayson quote, talking about

  We know Alan Grayson only has a tenious connection to our local readership, but important news on our favorite hot liberal mess has just come to our intention: He has told former Vice President Dick Cheney to, and we quote, "STFU."Dick Cheney occasionally pops out of his underground torture dungeon to criticize President Obama's national securities policy. Really, it seems the joy he takes in it is the only thing keeping him alive.So the other night Grayson was on MSNBC's Hardball and has this t

They want him to run for president. No, not just eventually after a few years of ga
