Hello, Kitty I’m wondering where to meet people with herpes. I really feel alienated and alone. My ex-boyfriend got herpes from me, but to my surprise he was very accepting and we ended up dating for two years. After awhile, it was as if we didn’t even have the virus,…

A teen falls from a luxury high-rise
Sheets of blinding rain rolled over downtown Miami this morning and, as they passed, it was easy to remember just how close to sea level most of the Magic City lies. Five minutes of rain left pools deep enough to swallow Jeeps on NW 2nd Avenue outside Riptide Central. That’s…

You know what never made sense to me? Back in the ’90s, the WWF (now WWE) teamed up “The Million-Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase, a character who was a millionaire, with Irwin R. Schyster, AKA I.R.S., a tax man. Together they won three tag-team titles, but, dude, millionaires friggin’ hate the…
When Tina Fey in character as Sarah Palin joked that, “You know, we’ve got to accompany tax reduction and tax relief for Americans. Also, having a Dollar Value Meal at restaurants, that’s going to help,” I thought maybe she had a point. People always have to eat, regardless of the…

The measures taken to screen people at airports are getting a bit ridiculous. The government is already working on ways to determine whether you’re a terrorist based on scent alone, but in the meantime, they can just take a look at a computer image of your naked body. They don’t…
Burger King and its advertising firm Crispin Porter + Bogusky (both Miami-based companies) are no strangers to pissing off people, but usually it’s just irate bloggers. That’s if you consider bloggers people. Now they’ve pissed off someone a wee bit more powerful: Mexico’s ambassador to Spain. In Europe, BK sells…
