Deep in Hialeah, among body shops, crisscrossing highway ramps, and tall, scattered palm trees, is a porn shop. You can find the same old skankiness here — whips, midget porn, ice trays shaped as tiny penises, and, of course, the Jack Rabbit. But in a glass case that snakes around…
If you ask Estefano he’ll tell you there’s another wannabe killer free to roam our streets. If you ask the jury, they’ll tell you otherwise. Francisco Oliveira Jr., the man who was charged with Estefano’s attempted murder, has been acquitted by a jury, despite the fact Estefano identified Oliveira, a…
Police also say the suspects most likely have ten toes, ten fingers, two ears and one nose. Oh, wait. “Two Armed” as in two suspects who have guns. For a second there we though they were hunting down everyone with the normal amount of body parts. WIOD must have realized…

EFE/Pool/Rolando Fernández Francisco Oliveira Jr. is currently on trial for allegedly shooting Estefano in May 2007. First rule in the murderer’s hand book: If you shoot someone, you better make sure they’re dead. Especially if you’re a close associate of the victim. Luckily for Fabio ”Estefano” Salgado, a superstar producer…
A short, short time ago in an industrial park not far away, a group of rebel forces dared take on Steve Jobs and his Apple empire. Call it Psystar Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. Apple recently hit Psystar, the Miami based company that produces Mac clones, with a…
There was a lot of bad news to come out of yesterday’s elections. Too many incumbent county commissioners won. Carlos Alvarez didn’t even have to take a break to win his job back. Carlton Moore is still alive in Broward. Et cetera, et cetera. But the worst development was voters…

Riptide couldn’t agree more, but for drastically different reasons. Forbes based their results…
Courtesy of Gotopless.org Political activists of the aging hippie persuasion made a big, naked statement on Miami Beach Saturday to protest what they see as female oppression. The injustice: Men in Miami can go topless on the street but women can’t. Donna Newman, regional president of the protest group Gotopless.org,…
via Yahoo! News What’s more believable: Obama’s Change or his Doppelganger? Barack Obama’s walking the streets of Denver this week. He speaks fluent Spanish and claims to have been born in Cuba. Well not exactly. Obama-boy isn’t making a shameless attempt at capturing the Hispanic vote by rewriting his biography…
Fidel Castro’s 82-year old body may be failing him. But, dios mio, his famed obstinance has never been healthier. You’d think it might be hard to defend a taekwondo athlete who used his potentially lethal skills to attack a sporting judge. But, oh my Capitalist swine, you know little about…
In case you didn’t already make it (like me) or you’re blissfully unaware of anything happening around you (like me), you might not be aware that Miami Spa Month has been extended. Yes, much like Miami Spice Restaurant Month, Miami Spa Month is now a misnomer for almost-two months of…

via Helen for Mayor Not much ink has been spilled on Helen Williams, Carlos Alvarez’s opponent in the Miami-Dade mayoral race today. Maybe because she has no relevant political experience, or perhaps it’s due to the fact that she’s raised a little over $3,000 to Alvarez’s $700,000. Or how about…
Travel buddies. Last September, we detailed the travels of Police Chief John Timoney, who seemed to spend more time on the road schmoozing than in Miami, you know, being chief. Alas, Timoney’s rambling ways have not been cured. This week, we find the chief — who, as an aside, bears…
Condoms and lube: $11.36 at Walgreens. Soft lighting: courtesy of FPL’s exasperation with you not paying your damn electric bill. So now it’s dark, wet and safe, but even then, achieving the fabled state of “in the mood” can be tricky. Unless you’re paying for the pump, there are no…
An effort to deflect criticism is turning the University of Miami football team into its own worst PR enemy. On Sunday the Canes announced the suspension of seven players, including starting QB Robert Marve. Don’t the Canes know how bad those headlines look? There’s a lot of people out there…
via Starpulse Obama may have musicians as varied as Will.I.Am, Daedelus and Joss Stone firmly in his corner, but John McCain finally has a melody-maker to support him who doesn’t wear a 10-gallon hat. Reggaeton star Daddy Yankee endorsed McCain at Central High School in Phoenix, AZ earlier today. Guess…

Patrice Elizabeth Grell-Yursik took first for Pretty in the City as the best blog . Chuck Strouse took a first for commentary on “Reporter on the Lam.” Isaiah Thompson won in…
via Facebook Censored to protect the vacant. University of Miami is sitting just outside the top 50 on US News & World Reports’ list of America’s Best Colleges, but perhaps the Canes can take solace in the fact they made it to number two on another list. Radar ranked UM…
