After all time wasted in Tally by Sen. Ellyn Bogdanoff this session — from the wrongheaded, like bills to bring casinos to Miami and move Dade’s reaches further into the Everglades, to the absurd, like her plan making it legal to dye animals crazy colors — it’s somehow poetic justice…
A couple of Florida’s GOP congressmen, lead by first term Rep. Sandy Adams, read some crazy conspiracy theories on the Internet about how Obama was going to enslave us all into military conscription and forced labor, and decided to file an actual resolution about it.

Democrats have finally found a candidate to take on vulnerable Republican incumbent congressman David Rivera. Her name is Gloria Romero Roses. She has no electoral experience, no name recognition, and doesn’t even live close to the district. Oh boy…
I done did it now. Two weeks ago, I announced in this space that I was planning to run for the open commission seat in Surfside, the sleepy beach hamlet of corruption and weirdness ruled by my obscenely overpaid nemesis, town attorney Lynn Dannheisser. Qualifying to run — including collecting…
Yesterday, Ozzie Guillen backtracked quicker than Emilio Bonifacio evading a pickoff after Time magazine quoted him admitting he kinda respects Fidel Castro for not falling for the CIA’s best exploding cigar tricks.

Ask your average American Joe about cricket, and he’ll picture noblemen, dressed in white livery, sipping cups of tea while a sickly servant polishes their finely carved bats.
