• Should Joe Scarborough Speak Up on Tiller Killing?

  As you're probably aware Dr. George Tiller, the medical director of a Wichita, Kansas clinic that provided late-term abortions, was killed this weekend while attending a church ceremony. Scott Roeder, a far-right anti-tax nut with a history of mental illness and a taste for the fire and brimstone of the Old Testament, is in custody as the sole suspect. The Tiller killing has brought up reflection on the assassinations of other doctor who provides abortion services i

• MSNBC's Lone Conservative Rethinking a Senate Run

  Back in 2006 when the Republican party came to the hard, cold realization that they would have to run political train wreck Katherine Harris as their Senate Nominee they begged and pleaded with former Congressman and MSNBC talking head Joe Scarborough to run. "Please, Joe, Please, Don't let us pretend to support this horrible, terrible, embarrassing hot mess of a lady, please," they said. But Joe said no, because incumbent Senator Bill Nelson was a relatively popular guy, and Joe had a prime tim

• Victoria Jackson Endorses Rush Limbaugh For President

  How insane was Dirty Dozen alum Victoria Jackson's appearance on Sean Hannity's Fox News show last week? Well it starts out with Jackson proclaiming, "I'm so happy to be on, I'm your biggest fan. Fox news! Yay! The Only One with the truth! Yay!"Another panelist asks her, "Where are you from?" He's half expecting "Mars," yet, sigh, she responds, "Miami, Fl." Then she says she'd like to see Rush Limbaugh be President. It's almost painful to watch.

• WTVJ's Nick Bogert Leaving for Chicago

  TV news is hurting. The best are deserting us. Nick Bogert, the WTVJ smart guy who has provided some politics and substance along with the gore on the local airwaves, will depart for Chicago this fall. He's covered everything from hurricanes to the fall of commissioners such as Joe Gersten, Miller Dawkins, and Humberto Hernandez. He's helped us understand the news. That's a rapidly disappearing quality. He's also my neighbor and I'll miss him. Thanks to SFLTV for reporting this first. Also out

• Kelly Craig Dropped by NBC6

  Kelly Craig has been on your TV set bringing you news for NBC6 (WTVJ) for nearly two decades, but reportedly she's been unceremoniously canned by the troubled station. SFLTV also reports WTVJ let go reporter Joe Carter and its only female sports anchor, Andrea Brody. Their bios have been removed from the station's website. Craig issued a statement to SFLTV, reading in part: "From the bottom of my heart, I thank South Florida for 19 years of support and viewership." Craig was

  To read past installments of South Florida According to Brooklyn, click here. Last Sunday I went to the Cinema Paradiso record swap that was put on by Mark Pollack of New Art School. Three local bands played: the first was No Class Action, the second was Band Number 12, and the third was the Shakers. They also showed the Iggy Pop documentary, Lust for Life, which was amazing. The event was a lot of fun, attended by a lot of people that I hadn't seen in a long time.No Class Action had a really go

• Charles Perez Too Gay for Television? Probably Not

  via JustNews.com​Even national cable TV channel Fox News jumped on the firing of Local 10 news anchor Charles Perez, using the headline banner "Too Gay for Television?" But can that sensational story really be true in a TV market filled with openly gay anchors (consider Channel 7) and even WPLG's own news director, Bill Pohovey, who is openly gay and who calls the shots in the newsroom. Perez maintains he was demoted "because of (the station's) discomfort over the increasingly high profile of

• Taped Crusader: For Victims Without Recourse, Justice Junkies Aims to Right Wrong

  Just before midnight, the Pollo Tropical is empty, except for a couple of teenagers pointing toward the window and smirking. They've spotted a peculiar-looking 38-year-old who's crouching behind a bush outside in the darkness. He's clad in a Sesame Street T-shirt and a gold chain necklace, and his once-slicked-back hair is frazzled. He holds a Sony video camera the way a soldier grips a rifle. A few minutes later, a cop car pulls up to the restaurant on North State Road 7 in Plantation. The mu

But let's just say you can count on the in following: (In chronological order.) 1) A pushy Fox News reporter. 2) An abortion doc from Miami. 3) Yelling. 4) Broken objects. 5) A mustache!
