When Jesus Navarro was arrested for selling $1,350 horsemeat to undercover cops, it didn’t seem to make much of an impact. Other men might have taken pause after a 2010 police report described their work environment as full of “rotting food and putrid water” and co-workers as “three dead goats…
Ah, high school — easier times for most of us. Our daily concerns back then seem so insignificant now.

The signs were everywhere during Washington Nationals home games last month. One read “ZOMBIE MODE” with red-ink blood dripping from the letters. Another showed a baseball with a chunk bitten out of it and “Eat Face Win!” In fact, drop the hashtag #EatFace into Twitter this second and you’ll find…
With last week’s Supreme Court decisions on gay marriage, Lady Gaga sensed an opportunity to get some free publicity once again publicly support the gay community by singing the national anthem at a New York City Pride kick-off event. Though, she noticeably changed the line “home of the brave,” to…
One teen is in custody while another is still on the run after allegedly killing a man last night over his cell phone. Police say the two teens were riding around Little Haiti on their bicycles with the intent of robbing someone when they spotted 54-year-old Jerry Wayne Sherrell near…
Perhaps even more so than in America, baseball is the national past time in Cuba. So, you’d figure when an entire MLB game aired on Cuban TV for the first time in more than 50 years, some of the population might have been excited. Eh, apparently not. Most of the…
While stuck in limbo at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport, NSA leaker Edward Snowden has requested political asylum from 21 countries. With Brazil officially rejecting his request earlier this morning, nine of those nations have now said no. Snowden’s last hope might be the Chavista government in Venezuela. President Nicolas Maduro just…
Critical Mass Miami has blown up over the past year. The last-Friday-of-the-month rides now regularly draw more than 2,000 cyclists at a time.

Sounds like someone is plagued by a serious number of body thetans. Denise Gentile, the twin sister of David Miscavige, the top religious leader of the Church of Scientology, was arrested in Saint Petersburg on marijuana charges over the weekend. Gentile is active in the church as well, and Scientology…
In a sad way, the Miami Marlins pretty stellar performance during the month of June only underscores how utterly horrible the team played during April and May. The Marlins’ 14-9 record during June was actually the second-best record during the month in the National League (only behind the Padres), and…
Miami Beach’s version of Robin Hood has come to an end, at least partially. Subhanna Beyah, the 25-year-old woman wanted by sheriff’s detectives in Broward County for allegedly taking from the rich and oblivious and giving to herself and her friends, was arrested in Queens on Saturday by New York…
Back in 2011, Bradford County up in north central Florida decided to allow a Ten Commandments monument outside its courthouse.

The Florida legislature arrived in Tallahassee with a historic batch of problems to solve: soaring unemployment, an unstable real estate market, crumbling infrastructure and failing schools. The 2013 session could have been a legendary breath of fresh political initiative. Instead, the Leg punted on medical marijuana, didn’t bother to consider…
Aparecida Pata and Denize Ferreira packed a Samsonite suitcase with Chanel handbags, Hermès belts, Ray-Ban sunglasses, and Burberry tops for a stylish summer escape from Brazil to Miami.

The “War on Terror” has raged for 12 bloody years, cost hundreds of thousands of lives, and taken a bite out of the Constitution. And yet, many Americans have long since retreated into the easy routines of American life: morning latte, evening beer, and no time in between for worrying…
The three-pointer that sent Game 6 of the NBA Finals to overtime might be well be the shot of Ray Allen’s career, but that doesn’t mean it will be the last big-game trey he knocks down for the Heat. Allen just exercised a $3.2 million option to stay with the…
