In July, New Times columnist Elyse Wanshel opined that perhaps Mixed Martial Arts — that sport of sweat-drenched extreme dry-humping — is a tad bit homosexual. Diehard MMA fans, it turns out, weren’t exactly pleased (by the way, thanks for the anthrax!) Well, you’re all forgiven for doubting us. On…
It’s been an Internet eternity since everyone was linking Barack Obama Is Your New Bicycle. The weird little site generated “facts” about Barack Obama like “Barack Obama made you a mixtape,” “Barack Obama emailed your dad and told him how great you are,” and “Barack Obama paid your speeding ticket.”…

A few hours ago, Sweat Record’s Barack N’ Roll Bake Sale + Voter Registration drew an unexpected character: a wayward, 84-year-old Miami granny by the name of Dory. Amid all the hip haircuts and soy lattes, the wrinkled retiree waddled over to a table of registration slips, and pinned a…
Get it? Because if you bailed out a boat, you’d need a bucket, and now we has that bucket. Is it the best bucket? I am not sure, but Hahahaha…it is Friday. This bailout rescue thing went through the House and Bush signed it. So signed, sealed, delivered, its ours,…
Last time we checked in with our lil’ football friends the Dolphins shocked the nation and had last week off, the Canes fell apart in the last quarter of a game they should have won, and the Golden Panthers won their first game of the season. So in two cases…
