After getting busted for cocaine possession and doing a stint at an outpatient rehab facility, Southwest Florida congressman Trey Radel is back to work on Capitol Hill as if nothing happened. Lee County Sheriff Mike Scott, a well-known and often outspoken Republican figure in Radel’s district, however, isn’t about to…
Considering the speed at which the internet moves, it’s sort of curious that this is becoming a meme. LeBron James (along with some of his teammates) has long been criticized for “flopping” to drawl fouls, likely because there isn’t much else to criticize. So now all the kids on Vine…
Why are politicians so eager to close Club Madonna but not the porn companies filming underage girls being statutorily raped on camera?
Demetrick Cooks told the stripper she might as well get into the car because he planned on following her wherever she went. A week earlier, on New Year’s Day, he had gone to the Central Florida bar where she worked, but the exotic dancer had eluded him. After that incident,…
Rick Scott has officially picked Miami-Dade property appraiser Carlos Lopez-Cantera as his next lieutenant governor. The office was vacant for nearly ten months.

Mother’s Day isn’t for months, but it came early for Gloria James. Contributing to Maria’s Shriver’s Shriver Report (to which Beyonce also dropped an essay this weekend), LeBron James wrote a loving tribute to his mother Gloria, a single working mom who through hard work and, as LeBron notes, some…
Tragically, Florida’s reputation as a wayward state with hot-headed gun owners will stick with us into the new year. A man attending a screening of The Lone Survivor was fatally shot after he got into an argument over texting…

We’ve never had to take a field sobriety test so we’re not sure what exactly it is they ask you to do, but we don’t think that doing the complete choreography to “…Baby One More Time” is on the list. Well, a Florida man recently pulled over for a DUI…
With HealthCare.gov’s problems are so well known you’d think the Obama administration would make sure their next website would work correctly. Apparently not so. CuidadoDeSalud.gov, HealthCare.gov’s Spanish equivalent, was launched quietly in December and is plagued with some of the same problems found on HealthCare.gov. It also appears to have…
Florida hasn’t had a lieutenant governor for well over nine months, and the pressure is on Gov. Rick Scott to finally get around to picking a replacement.

When Adam Sohn came upon an accident scene on Oakland Park Boulevard on Thursday, January 2, he saw a messed up bicycle and an injured man on the ground. He took a few pictures and posted them to the Facebook page for Fort Lauderdale Critical Mass — a movement of…
When the first shadow skittered across the counter, Chad kept quiet. But as he reached into the cardboard crate to pull out flattened boxes of Stove Top stuffing mix, the dark shapes swarmed. They crawled over his hands. They scampered up his arms. And they weren’t shadows. They were cockroaches…
Hey there, shopper, do you have a spare $189,000? Do you love clubbing at the world’s most exclusive places? Have you ever seen a Ferrari glide by and thought, Nice car. When will someone design a bracelet that looks like that? Funny you should ask. It just happened…

Hundreds of school bus drivers didn’t show up to work today in Miami-Dade, leaving some students stranded at their bus stops. About one sixth of drivers decided to skip their duties today in a protest over pay and benefits…
Dolphins fans finally got their wish with the recent departure of general manager Jeff Ireland, and then half of them went into a dramatic frenzy over how the process to replace him was playing out (maybe, at least in some corners, because someone with a vagina was involved). Go figure…
Despite its association with Paula Deen, butter is not supposed to cause drama. It’s creamy, fatty goodness is supposed to spread love and joy, connecting us like two halves of a dinner roll. So when we hear the cause of two roommates’ violent argument, we can’t believe that it is…
One of Miami’s most recognizable strip clubs, perched along the heavily-touristed Washington Avenue, may also be one of its worst, reviewers from Yelp to Club Planet to Foursquare claim. Club Madonna shot into headlines earlier this week when Miami Beach police and the county’s Human Trafficking Task Force alleged that…
Prior to yesterday, most Floridians’ experience with the Richter scale was limited to the former Universal Studios attraction, Earthquake: The Big One. At around 4 p.m. Thursday afternoon, a rare, 5.1-magnitude earthquake struck outside Cuba leaving residents of the seismically stable country — and some South Floridians — slightly confused…
