Created with the Newspaper Clipping Generator We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: Coconut Grove Grapevine is simply one of the best community-centric blogs we’ve ever come across. Apparently “the local daily newspaper” seems to think so too, so much so that CCGV’s Tom alleges the paper has…
This weekend was a bust for us on a personal level. We spent it under our sheet chugging down Robitussin and coughing up things seen only in horror movies. So we lived vicariously through the weekend posts done by the various New Times staff writers. We are just glad we…
In September, we criticized the Herald for including in its Sunday edition a copy of the DVD Obsession: Radical Islam’s War Against the West, a film decried by many as anti-Islam propaganda. The Herald was paid to include the DVD, and did so, initially, without explanation. This week, we caught…
Downright shady news from the Herald this weekend: Three voters from Hialeah who voted for Raul Martinez say a man claiming to be from the campaign came by their house to pick to up their absentee ballots, after they received a call from someone also claiming to be from the…
After weeks of successfully parodying Sarah Palin and John McCain, Saturday Night Live took a few jabs at the Democrats this weekend and proposed its White House comedy agenda for the next four to eight years. After the easy comedic material that Bush I, Clinton, and Bush II gave Dana…
Hell yeah, a pretty good weekend for football. The Fins pulled off another upset, this time against the Bills. [ESPN] The Canes got their second ACC win against Wake Forest. [ESPN] Matt Damon is corrupting our local youth with his socialist ideals. [CBS4] The chill you felt go down your…
Say it ain’t so, Zeke’s. After weeks of terrifying financial news every day — The Dow is down 800! The NASDAQ has plummeted 30 percent! Jim Cramer’s brain has literally melted! — I’ve started to get a little burned out on the whole recession business. Until it affects my life,…
We’re all used to the idea that none of our football teams is going to have a great season. Not bad either. Just painfully, boringly average. Buffalo Bills @ Miami Dolphins, Sunday 1 p.m. on CBS4 It’s the future team of Rush Limbaugh versus the former team of OJ Simpson…
Well, here’s the perfect song to put on your iPod and help you pass the time while you’re waiting in those hours long voting lines. Miami born and bred folk singer Ellen Bukstel is no stranger to political action. Her songs in the past have tackled topics like dealing with…
A list circulating among Congressional Republicans showing the seats that the party internally considers the most vulnerable accidentally got leaked online under the ominous name of “GOP Death List2”. Six of Sixteen House GOP members from FLorida had the dubious distinction of being included, including both Diaz-Balart brothers. The seats…
From a New Times reader: I am baffled at the number of African Americans supporting Obama. They must not care that, if elected, Obama will give “illegal residents” citizenship, social security, welfare, and all the “rights” that they do not deserve. Once this occurs, they will overwhelm communities, and take…

In this election there’s a lot of misinformation going around about both candidates, but let’s face it: The most outlandish gossip is about Barack Obama. The funny thing is that many of these rumors conflict with other rumors. Like, how can Obama be a Muslim if he has a crazy…
His MySpace page reads like a eulogy. “R.I.P., Toro. I always thought you was next to blow. Only death could have stopped you,” a fellow artist writes. Underneath, a pretty girl laments, “It’s still not sinking in.” The shooting of up-and-coming Opa-locka rapper Toro — made big through his collaborations…
Cuban immigrant and Miami Lakes resident Gerardo Puisseaux looks a lot like Barack Obama. So he did the only logical thing: He drove to the studios of Channel 41, Spanish-language network América TeVé, and asked for a job from the first person to walk through the front doors. And América…
Yesterday Matt Drudge put a big, red headline on his site about the poor little McCain volunteer who got attacked by a big, scary black man who put a backwards “B” (for Barack, supposedly) in her face with a knife (a link is still up, as of this writing. He’s…
A voting line in Sierra Leon. You’d think America could do better, but so far early voting lines prove we can’t. Florida’s 27 electoral votes may once again be a deciding factor in this year’s election. We’re used to that, unfortunately we also may be used to long voting lines…
Earlier this week the Joe Garcia campaign circulated a YouTube video of opponent Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart acting like a scary, hyper partisan clown at the Miami McCain rally. It was pretty funny, perfect Tube fodder, and so far it’s gotten nearly 35,000 views. Now Diaz-Balart supporters are trying their hand…
If that evil Council on Foreign Relations ever gets their way we will have a World wide government (at least according to Ron Paul) and elect an emperor of the Earth every four years. We’re not quite there yet, but The Economist is giving us a preview by showing a…
Hasbro is releasing a special Miami & The Beaches edition of the classic board game Monopoly in November. The traditional places on the board are replaced by Miami landmarks (Boardwalk is Ocean Drive, for example) and the game pieces have South Florida significance, too (like a life guard stand and…
Will Ferral reprised his role as George W. Bush on last night’s SNL Weekend Update Thursday special. Tina Fey was there too! Clip above. That story about Madonna and Chris Paciello getting back together? Not true. [Staten Island New] A McCain supporter was allegedly attacked by a crazy man, who…
Chavez stands accused of funneling $800K to Fernandez, via a Miami resident. Photo via Getty Images. Like all great federal trials in Miami, the case a jury is expected to begin deliberating on this morning has a name worthy of a the best cheap paperback thrillers: The Suitcase Trial. The…
