You know what Howard Dean did in his first few months as chair of the DNC? He raised $86.3 million and started working on his 50-state strategy. You know what Michael Steele has done so far as RNC chair? Turned himself into a political sideshow with his dumb feuds with…
I’m beginning to think that which ever school actually wins the Bryce Brown recruiting sweepstakes actually loses. Last year Brown verbally committed to the ‘Canes. Then he became the #1 ranked recruit in the nation according to Rivals.Com, and came under the influences of an adviser named Brian Butler. Since…

The evils of the corporate lay-off machine knows no bounds. Basic manners would dictate that you don’t hand someone a pink slip on their birthday, but there’s nothing polite about blood letting. Yesterday was the Herald’s “Work/Life Balanceing Act” columnist Cindy Krischer Goodman’s birthday. It was also the day she got the…
Did you hear openly gay North Miami Mayor Kevin Burns running for Senate? Silly gays, you can’t even get married or adopt children. What makes you think you can be Senator? Actually, it’s kind of sad that a he’s become the “Gay candidate,” and he wants to clear that up. The St. Pete…

If Miami were a lady, you wouldn’t take her home to mom. No, unlike Chicago (who would make a good mother) or New York City (who is working on her doctorate) Miami is looking for something else. She’s the kind of gal you’d meet for a Mojito, then promptly pull…
We would’ve thought Miami-Dade transit parties would be dull affairs — you know, where the administrators get tipsy and see who can recite the Sunday schedule for Route J the quickest.

In Biscayne Park, the village council enjoys taking steps to ensure the residents don’t mess up their enclave’s rustic appeal — even if it means trampling all over the U.S. Constitution.
