Zeddie Little, the dashing being captured mid-marathon looking like Derek Zoolander, is sweeping the internet as “the ridiculously photogenic guy.” Well, what do you know, we’ve found another interesting photo of a, uh, distinguished mug running right on Rick Scott’s Flickr. Unfortunately for Scott, people do not love him nearly…
In our latest example of why we hate politics in Florida because way too many people involved act like children, let us now examine the letters sent between the chairs of the Florida Democratic Party and the Republican Party of Florida this morning over GOP Rep. Allen West’s comments about…
Florida’s 2012 Senate election is shaping up to be as ridiculous as ever. Connie Mack IV, whom you might remember has been characterized by his Republican opponents as “the Charlie Sheen of Florida Politics,” released a web ad today linking incumbent Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson to coked-up monkeys. …
Apparently the spirit of Sen. Joseph McCarthy lives on in South Florida Rep. Allen West. While President Barack Obama was speaking yesterday in Boca Raton, West spoke to supporters in nearby Palm City and said he’s heard that up to 80 of the 190 Democratic members of Congress are actually…
Congratulations, Mitt Romney! You’ve won the least sought-after endorsement in the Republican Party. Perennially unpopular Florida Gov. Rick Scott officially endorsed Romney today just hours after Rick Santorum announced he was suspending his campaign — a move that finally leaves Romney as the unquestionable Republican nominee. …
Inside Marlins Park, Ozzie Guillen apologized for “betraying his Hispanic community,” but outside the front gates, a sizable crowd of Cuban-American protesters made it clear they were in no mood to forgive or forget his statements praising Fidel Castro.”We never can forgive what he said,” Blanco Garcia said. Click through…
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. Obviously Allen West is involved…
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. Guillen now says he didn’t mean to come off as a Fidelista, telling the Miami Herald that in…
Uh……..Hold on let us figure out what to say about this.Um……OK, so, Marco Rubio told all his Twitter followers today to buy Nicki Minaj’s new album “to hear what good music sounds like.”…
With the Marlins Park opening today and the Heat clinching a playoff birth, South Florida hasn’t been paying too much attention to another potential milestone sports story. The Florida Panthers (that’s our hockey team in case you’re wondering) are painfully close to not only reaching the playoffs for the first…
Marco Rubio has some interesting taste in music. He loves Nicki Minaj, but apparently hates disco. He attacked the dance genre at a Lincoln Day Dinner in Pinellas, Florida, over the weekend and hurled an insult to the Bee Gees in a bizarre, fear-mongering speech filled with spooky stories, bad…
Rep. David Rivera is one of the most vulnerable Republican congressman in the entire country. He’s under numerous criminal investigations, and his seat in District 25 is quickly seeing its Republican voter advantage fade. It could be a slam dunk for Democrats, assuming, of course, they had anyone to run.They…
What the hell happens up in Tallahassee sometimes? Seriously?See, the apparently powerful dog grooming lobby convinced our elected officials to take time out of their busy legislative session to lift an old ban on dying live animals. They were actually successful, but the ban now means that the controversial practice…
Anyone who plays soccer in Miami knows how frustrating it is to find a good game; fields are scarce, so either you pony up the cash for an organized game or you play free pickup on some forlorn, lumpy turf that hasn’t been mowed since the Carter Administration. As mayor…
Well, at least one prominent Republican doesn’t want Marco Rubio running as the party’s VP candidate. Always polarizing pundit Ann Coulter was on ABC’s This Week yesterday, and she said that picking the exciting but still unproven Rubio would be a “mistake.”…
Congrats, South Beach residents! You’ve survived the beer-bonging, glowstick-waving trafficpocalypse of spring break and Miami Music Week. Now enjoy the fresh air and (semi)abundant parking while it lasts, because you’re only a few weeks away from the massive crowds of Memorial Day weekend.Even worse news: Riptide has gotten its hands…
Attention Miami-area anarchists, liberals, and Occupiers: Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn is worried about “knuckleheads” causing trouble during the Republican National Convention this August. So to keep all the Romney-disturbers in line, last night he proposed a “Clean Zone” across most of downtown Tampa where police will have broad power to…
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…
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…
