Running a meth lab out of a mobile camper honestly isn’t the worst idea in the world. Actually, if AMC’s Breaking Bad is half as knowledgeable as it seems, hauling a camper into the the wilderness to cook up crystal is the safest way to evade Johnny Law. The plan…
A decade ago, Hector Pesquera was rumored to be a top candidate for Miami Police chief. Instead, the former FBI man — perhaps dogged by questionable ties to convicted felons — embarked on ever more obscure positions: first as head of the Broward Sheriff’s Office, lately as head of security…
The racist smear campaign against Trayvon Martin has hit a stomach churning low. Gawker reports that a self proclaimed white supremacist using the internet handle “Klanklannon” has hacked into multiple email and social media accounts used by the deceased teen…
Remember when Chris Brown was accused of stealing a fan’s iPhone on South Beach? Well, the investigation is still underway, and in what is almost a non-development, Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle just released a statement saying that the case is still open…
Did you know that every year moose attack more people than bears and wolves combined? Did you know that you’re apparently not supposed to go up and pet them? As Floridians we didn’t. Neither did native Miamian Chantelle Hernandez, the unwitting star of a minor viral video in which she’s…

A new census report of American migration between 2005 and 2009 shows that, well, Americans are mostly staying put, and if they are migrating elsewhere, they’re not moving very far. Underscoring that fact is the finding that the only sizable group of Americans moving to Miami-Dade came from Broward County…
Miami Marlins outfielder Logan Morrison, subject of this week’s feature story, “Tweeter in Chief”, is one of the most outspoken and freewheeling dudes in Major League Baseball. He tweets crazy shit, he speaks his mind when questioned by reporters, and goes all out when photographed for the cover of your…
In perhaps the most important meeting of octogenarians all year, Fidel Castro and Pope Benedict XVI sat down yesterday in Havana for a brief, 30-minute tête-à-tête. During the meeting, Castro asked Benedict what exactly a pope does, while Benedict made a bit of a zinger about their old age…
Just two weeks ago, a Rasmussen poll showed Republican Connie Mack IV beating incumbent Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson by seven points, but now a new Quinnipiac poll shows an almost opposite picture. According to Q, Nelson now leads Mack by eight points in the battle of Senator Spacesnakes vs. “the…
Veronica Johnson is Riptide’s kind of mail carrier. Mixed in with all the glossy fliers from pizza-by-the-slice places and the gas company bills, Johnson’s mailbag often included some more intriguing packages. Police say they caught her on her route on Tuesday in Marathon with a 10-pound package of weed addressed…
Marco Rubio finally stepped off the sidelines of the GOP primary last night, backing Mitt Romney for president in an interview on Fox News. While the endorsement isn’t all that surprising, Rubio’s timing sparks a key question: Is he backing Romney because it’s clear Mitt will hold off the competition,…
So much for post-racial politics. The tragic shooting of Miami teenager Trayvon Martin last month by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman has once again exposed America’s deep racial fault lines. Jesse Jackson quickly announced that “blacks are under attack.” White supremacist websites circulated bogus pictures of the teenager in an…

Much has been made of the pictures of a younger Trayvon Martin released to the media by his family’s lawyers, but until now, the only image seen in the media of shooter George Zimmerman has been a years-old mug shot. ABC News has now obtained police surveillance video of Zimmerman at…
Man, Rick Scott can’t catch a break. Back in January his approval rating was 38 percent. Yeah, that’s still pathetic, but for Scott they were amazing and perhaps a sign his popularity could be improving. Well, no such luck. In the latest Quinnipiac Poll he was back down to 36…

So what was Dwyane Wade up to during his lockout free time? Apparently penning a memoir about his experiences as a child and as a father to his children. The book, A Father First: How My Life Became Bigger than Basketball, is expected to be released in September…
