• Tuesday Will Forever Be Known as Aretha's Hat Day

  This past Tuesday, January 20, 2009, things changed forever. Something inside the American people clicked, something that will have repercussions for years to come. It was the realization that Aretha Franklin's bow hat is friggin' awesome, and we, as a country, would not rest until it become part of our national uniform. Isobel Toledo, the designer of First Lady Michelle Obama's outfit, was supposed to be the sartorial superstar of the inauguration, but it turns out that Luke Song, an obscure ha

• New Poll: 9% of Southerners Find Bernie Madoff Favorable

  This week poll magicians were out in full force collectively interrupting Americans' family dinners with long surveys. Both CBS and the Daily Kos have interesting polls out where we learn surprising things (Hillary Clinton has better approval ratings than Michelle Obama) and not so surprising things (Southerners love everything I hate, and hate everything I love). The Daily Kos poll statistically proves that Southerners have the worst taste in people. Southerners hate Oprah more t

• Leonard Abess Makes TIME 100

  Every year Time magazine makes a list of the 100 most influential people of that year. It is a big deal, because the American public loves lists. Those you would suspect make the grade: Barack & Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton, Sarah Palin, and Oprah. A few surprising, but warranted inclusions: M.I.A., Nate Silver, Tina Fay, and Sully Sullenberger. Then there are a couple of 'WTF' choices: Zac Efron, the founder of 4Chan [nsfw], and the ladies of The View. Rounding out that esteemed list is

• Norman: Crist's Alleged Former Boy Toy Booked for Stealing Pastor's Daughter's Wedding Ring

  ​Remember Jason Wetherington? New Times Broward-Palm Beach columnist Bob Norman penned a story about the lad, who apparently went around blabbing he had a hotel-room tryst with Gov. Charlie Crist in 2006. Wetherington also worked for Katherine Harris's hilariously failed 2006 Senate campaign. Anyway, per Norman, he's been charged with stealing three rings from the home of a family friend while he was housesitting. The friend: daughter of Wetherington's pastor. According to police rep

• This is What Michelle Obama Distilled Down to Shoe Form Would Look Like

  via HDMag​Miami Designer Robert Tabor has worked out a niche for himself creating shoe sculptures, or "Sole Sensations," if you will. He has made flip-flops that look like sandwiches, stilettos that looks like spaghetti, and high heels that look like little red wagons.But his Sistine Chapel is most likely the first lady shoe wall inside the presidential sweet at the Ritz-Carlton in Palm Beach. Jackie-O has a pair, so does Hillary. Now, thank goodness on this slow news days, so does Michelle Ob

• Miami: Second Worst Place to Raise a Family

  Michelle Obama appears on Children's Health October issue. ​When the editors of Children's Health describe the perfect locale to raise a family as "the kind of place where a child can slip on her rubber boots, grab her colorful umbrella, and play on the quiet, tree-lined street outside her home without worry," I knew Miami wouldn't come in very high on the list. Hell, I can't walk out onto a street without worry, let alone let my (theoretical) child do it. In fact, out of the 100 cities s

• Michelle Obama Continues Her Harsh Criticism of Barack's Dance Moves in Miami

  Last time Michelle Obama was in Miami she made her husband dance for the world as she mocked him. Well, not directly, but she had gone on Ellen earlier in the month to make fun of Barack's dance moves, and then in a live link with Ellen from his Miami rally Mr. Obama continued his campaign of awkward dancing. I mean, the guy can dance better than me, but it's not like he's going to win a Noble Dance Prize (...or will he?).
