The Florida Federation of Republican Women, the same group who last month decided they would laugh in the face of God and boycot The Oprah, is now pissed that the evil, cappuccino sipping, elitist media is ignoring the fact that Sarah Palin has a handful of self-proclaimed feminists following her…
Who the Floridian version of Ellen and Portia are would like some form of legal recognition, please. What the hell is wrong with voters in this state? A new poll by Mason-Dixon shows that 56% of likely voters support Amendment 2, while only a paltry 37% out right oppose it…
Remember when Marge Schott owned the Cincinnati Reds? The woman caused one PR and PC nightmare after another with comments sympathizing with Adolf Hitler and unapologetically using slurs to describe African-Americans, homosexuals, Jews, and Japanese. There couldn’t possibly be another owner in sports who could ever top her in the…
Earlier this week, we snapped some photos of a yacht sinking into Biscayne Bay off of preppy haven Bay Harbor Islands, and it didn’t fill us with a warm feeling of smug satisfaction at all. After the jump, see a couple more photos as part of Riptide’s exclusive water drama…
Here is a bit of media fuckery. The LA Times quotes Jonathan Weisman, a Wall Street Journal reporter who was covering Obama’s Bicentennial rally, as disparaging the crowd size. “Fall Out Boy gets crowds this big,” Jonathan Weisman of the Wall Street Journal said at the Miami rally, referring to…
From Pundit Kitchen, the political equivalent of the lolcat phenomenon. This one is as good a reason as any to mention my love for the site. –Kyle Munzenrieder…
Lincoln Diaz-Balart and Raul Martinez have spent the last month getting down in the muck, each trying to paint their opponent as the biggest slimeball in the race. But the elder Diaz-Balart has pulled out all the stops in his latest ad, which revisits Martinez’s scuffle on camera with a…
Rep. Lincoln Diaz-Balart secured a $2m contract for a firm that also did business with Venezuela. October Surprise? Not quite. [Herald] Five Miami-Dade schools face closure if they don’t get atleast a C on their FCAT score. I still don’t understand the thinking behind this at all. Thanks Jeb. [Herald]…
How did Barack Obama wind down from his 30,000+ person rally in downtown Monday? The same way everyone in this town caps off their night – Dancing! Obama appeared on Ellen live from Bicentennial Park to defend himself against the dirty, untrue, fear-driven robocalls that have been going around claiming…
It’s Tuesday afternoon, still a couple of hours before Barack Obama is to address thousands of chanting, whistling partisans at Bicentennial Park, when Edna Kaiywa offers some international perspective on the electric scene. “This would never happen in France today,” says Kaiywa, a young black documentarian with a Parisian accent…
If you want to know what it’s like to be a veteran in John McCain’s home state, stop by the Justa Center in downtown Phoenix. On a Thursday morning not long ago, a volunteer named Twyla stands in front of a group of clients at Justa, a day program for…
The pope probably doesn’t much like Jeffrey Herman. The 48-year-old Aventura attorney has won settlements from the Catholic Church totaling more than $5 million in recent years. In one 2005 lawsuit, he garnered $1.5 million from Central Florida Archdiocese. This past July, his clients were among those rewarded $5.5 million…
Circus music sounds as a camera cuts to a short clip of a well-known, fuming, bearded comandante. Standing at a podium, he wears a drab military uniform and madly gesticulates with his left hand. Red letters flash: Cuban dictator Fidel Castro. Next comes an equally terse clip of a handsome…
Eugene “Jobie” Steppe is an artist, but not the kind who wears a beret and paints watercolors by the river. He’s the sort who makes a mural reading “Miami City Hall Nazi Party” and then parks it on Pan American Drive right under the mayor’s nose for two months. The…
About two years ago Chad Oppenheim Architecture + Design announced plans for COR, a revolutionary green high-rise in the Design District. The building would incorporate wind turbines, photovoltaic panels, and solar hot water generation, and feature a hyperefficient exo-skeleton. It was originally supposed to be finished by 2009. Well, not…
VMan is a men’s fashion magazine with a capital F, and like all such mags, it must reassure straight readership it’s not gay. I mean, artsy shots of $2,000 shoes and such with a shot of sexually ambiguous Gossip Girl actor Chase Crawford on the cover. What better way to…
Poor little Memphis Grizzlies. They’re one of only three NBA teams to never win a NBA Championship, Conference Championship or a Division Championship. They’ve won less than 30% of the games they played in the last two seasons. They gave the first pre-season win to the Heat last night, and…
In this week’s issue of the New Times, writer Francisco Alvarado looks into the history of Lincoln and Mario Diaz-Balart and their probable exit as U.S. congressmen after years of strong support from their districts. It’s a reality facing many Republican candidates as a wave of anti-Republican sentiment is sweeping…
We already mentioned the scene outside the Obama rally yesterday and that people were understandably frustrated, but really there’s nothing wrong with being forced to congregate with your fellow man for a few hours. I learned lots of things, like that apparently Barack Obama won’t be our first black President…
The New York Observer came down the other week for John McCain’s FIU Rally. Remember that? They ran into a woman named America Blanca, which we don’t have to tell most of you is Spanish for “White America.” “I don’t believe these polls,” said America Blanca, a 44-year-old small business…

During the primary season Hillary Clinton took a sarcastic jab at her opponent, Barack Obama. “Let’s get everybody together, let’s get unified. The sky will open, the…
The Herald just straight up said the long early voting lines are State Republican’s fault. [Herald] Gawker says “nutty conservative weather-obsessed Miami queen blogger” Matt Drudge is soooooo over. Gawker itself has been called sooooo over a million times before. That is just something powerful bloggers do, call each other…
