• Throwback Tuesdays: Yo Majesty--"Club Action"

  There's something about the early music of Yo Majesty that will always have a soft spot in my heart. Back when this Tampa-based duo used to be a trio, Shunda K, Jwl B, and Shon B, were my favorite female MCs of 2007. They were butch, black, badass rappers who were sort of like a 2007 version of 2 Live Crew. And their music is just as crunk. Hell, they had songs called "Kryptonite Pussy." If that's not 2 Live Crew-esque, I dont' know what is. Yo Majesty had lot's of media attention that year

• Fantasy 2010 Dem Lineup

  The folks at Fla Politics, the site that proudly boasts it's the only Florida blog on the Daily Kos blogroll, have come up with their dream Democratic candidates they'd like to see comically lose run for statewide office in 2010. We think if the state Democrats pull it together, they could make a decent showing, especially if they repeatedly hit the Republicans over the head with the hammer of Florida's worse-than-average economic woes. They've come up with a list of names that includes Joe Ga

• Miami Is Losing Its Buzz

  Do you remember the citywide excitement last year when Miami was named the third most caffeinated city in the United States? Don't you remember all the parades and the front-page headlines and the outpouring of civic pride? Remember how we danced? Oh, how we danced, while each downing ten café cubanos in a row!Well, guess what? The buzz wore off, and this year we've fallen off the top five list in this very important scientific survey. See the top five this year, after the jump.

• Tampa Prudes Promise to Ruin Lingerie Bowl for Everyone

  We understand the disgust some folks might feel when they're introduced to the idea of lingerie football. It's always something like "blah blah blah exploitation, vulgar, sexist blah blah blah." But this is America, and if pretty, young ladies want to be exploited or whatever by making money to play football in lacy underwear, they have every right to. Besides, we suppose it's better than all the other ways they could be making money showing off their assets. Well, the Lingerie Bowl this year is

• Nudists Save Lingerie Bowl

  Well, those prudes in Tampa got their way, and the Lingerie Bowl won't be tainting their apparently pure city. Instead a nudist resort in Pasco County stepped in and saved the day. The joint is appropriately called the Caliente Clothing Optional Resort, which should fair well for the Miami Caliente team. The Caliente will play the Tampa Bay Breeze January 30. The winner will then play either the L.A. Temptations or the Phoenix Scorch during the Super Bowl's halftime in a live pay-per-view progra

• Former Department of Children and Families Spokesman Pleads Guilty to Kiddy Porn

  Albert Andre Zimmerman used to have a sweet gig being the mouthpiece for Florida's Department of Children and Families, the department charged with the well being of kids. That was until he was indicted for producing child pornography back in February, 2008, and yesterday he pleaded guilty to the charges. Zimmerman persuaded six teenage boys from Hillsborough and Orange counties to do naughty things and take pictures. Occasionally he would direct the boys in which poses they should assume, and o

• The Week That Was: This Sort of Thing Ain't Our Bag, Baby

  Karl Rove in the flesh got some UM co-eds very excited. The possibility of spectators in nothing but flesh was the death nail in the coffin of the Lingerie Bowl. Meanwhile, fleshy, nudist tourists are an important part of our economy. On the Dem side, Tampa's Mayor might run for Senate, but Alan Boyd won't. Bill McCullom doesn't want to lose his third Senate race. But, some ex-New Hampshire Senator may be interested, because he apparently enjoys losing so much. Jeff McInnis, New Times' offi

• Seminole Hard Rock Denies Gambler $166 Million Jackpot Due to Another "Malfunction" (Updated After Settlement)

  via Flickr​On Sunday, a gambler at the Seminole Hard Rock Casino in Tampa was playing a $4 slot machine when its bells started ringing and an enormous figure began flashing on its jackpot screen: $166,666,666.65. Bill Seebeck thought he was set for life. Alas, 'twas not to be. After investigating the win, casino officials told him that the machine had malfunctioned and he wouldn't be receiving a cent. The maximum jackpot on the machine is a relatively paltry $90,000- and the gambler wouldn't g
