Miamians reacted with horror this week to news that the end is nigh for Jimbo’s, the open-air beer-and-smoked-fish joint that’s been Miami’s weirdest, most beloved hangout for nearly six decades. But no one has yet told of the Old Testament-style sibling feud — including accusations of drug use, insanity, and…
As the great Goddess Aaliyah once said, “If at first you don’t succeed, dust yourself off and try again.” And that’s exactly what a bank robber did this morning in record time. After failing to rob one bank in downtown Miami, he just walked down the street and hit up…

Here is the nail in the coffin of Jimbo’s, Miami’s weirdest bar which has existed in a state of quasi-legality for almost six decades. We couldn’t believe it when we heard that founder Jimbo Luznar’s daughter was exercising her power of attorney over the ailing 85-year-old man to close the…
Barack Obama continues to hold the slightest of edges over the GOP field among voters in the crucial swing state of Florida according to the latest Rasmussen Reports poll.While it’s statistically irrelevant, Santorum does actually pull closer to Obama than Mitt Romney. Up until now the general thinking is that…
Apparently LeBron James isn’t the only Heat star with a sometimes embarrassing parent. Dwyane Wade’s father, Dwyane Wade Sr., was ejected from the United Arena last night during the Bulls-Heat game, reportedly for yelling obscenities. Jeez, what a big fucking bag of dicks. Updated. …
Never mind the fact that Connie Mack IV’s history of bar brawls and financial problems have been talked about heavily for the past month. It hasn’t apparently hurt his campaign in any way. The Republican Senate hopeful has opened a seven-point lead over Democratic incumbent Bill Nelson…
The notorious red light cameras in North Bay Village see all and fine all for running a red light without discrimination, even those who no human traffic cop would dare right up. Like, for example, those taking part in a funeral procession. Yet, the cameras apparently made no exception for…
More than two dozen cops swarmed Occupy Miami’s Overtown safehouse yesterday afternoon after responding to what appears to have been a bogus terrorism tip The raid was the second on Occupy Miami in the past six weeks.

We weren’t all that familiar with U.S. Rep. Cliff Stearns — a gray-haired motel magnate from Ocala — until Tuesday, when he tried to revive the long-exploded birther movement by questioning President Obama’s birth certificate at a town hall meeting. Well, that must have been one hell of a town…

Did Obama coast to victory just because he had a deeper voice than John McCain? Did Alex Sink lose to Rick Scott in the Florida governor’s race because of her high-pitched southern twang? New research by a University of Miami political science professor suggests it may be part of the…
Who the hell is in charge of the Miami Marlins’ latest creative decisions? First we got that logo and the uniforms. Then came that home run “thing.” Now we’ve got what appears to be a brand new theme song that is predictably horrible. It sounds like a theme song for…
Brandon Marshall is no longer a Miami Dolphin as of about 4 p.m. yesterday, and perhaps this is part of the reason why: Marshall is accused of punching a woman in the face this weekend after getting into a scuffle at a New York City nightclub…
