• Plies' New Album, Da Realist, in Stores Today

  For those that don't already know, Plies' highly anticipated second album of the year, Da Realist, is available in stores today. It's not common for artists, especially rappers, to release multiple albums in one year, but Plies, who was born and raised in Fort Myers, seems determined to prove something to the hip-hop general public. When his first album of 2008, Definition of Real, came out in June, its first week sales topped 250,000 units. That surpassed everyone's expectations -- and that wa

• Lauderdale Votes for Non-Obama Candidates, Democracy Ignored in Non-Twitter Format

  Voters in Fort Lauderdale will elect a mayor and an entire city council today, while over in Fort Myers, President Obama is speaking. Approximately four dozen or so Fort Lauderdale residents are expected to turn temporarily away from their Twitter accounts to vote, and, oh, over on the west coast, thousands waited in line just to get a ticket to hear the King of Hope speak. On the line in Fort Lauderdale are some important city issues and such, while, oh yeah, OBAMA!It may be clear by now, but I

• The Hoax on You

  Here is a video of a UFO, courtesy Paul. Who knows whether Paul shot the original video -- which would have required the purchase of a remote-controlled flying saucer, or at least some nifty special effects. Or whether he deserves credit for time-stamping it February 9, 2009, and indexing it with "Fort Myers" on the eve of that city's welcoming President Barack Obama for a town hall meeting that would be watched around the world. What matters is that Paul posted it, and it could have been on ove

• Teflon Charlie Rules Lauderdale Stage

  The big punchline in Washington D.C. these days is "bipartisanship." Barack Obama wants to be friends with Republicans but they don't want to be friends with him. Of course, it's all politics. The Republicans have nothing to gain from jumping on the Obama bandwagon and everything to gain if that wagon loses a wheel or three. But Obama has managed to make a friend out of at least one Republican: Our own Gov. Charlie Crist.In opening remarks before this afternoon's town hall meeting at the Galt Oc

• Florida Tattoo Guild: Guardian Angels or Ulterior Motives?

  Revelations of a state bill and a mysterious "guild" have spooked Florida tattooistsFor a bill that aimed to overhaul Florida's regulation of the tattoo industry, it sure was quiet. Stealthy, almost. Senate Bill 1130, sponsored by Hallandale Beach Sen. Eleanor Sobel, was introduced February 2. It cruised through committee, then headed to the Florida House, where it flew through committees again. It was still a long way to becoming law, but who would object to safety in tattooing? Especially sin

• At Last, Peace Reigns in Tattooland

  The bill that would have overhauled tattoo regulation in Florida is dead. The two factions of state tattooists, who had earlier this month waged an epic, expletive-laden battle in the comments thread of this Juice post, are now on the same team, or soon to be. And together, they will work toward a bill that all tattooists can agree will improve their industry. Bill Hannong, president of the Florida Professional Tattoo Artists Guild, had been the most frequent target of tirades because his guild

• Can Florida Governors Save GOP From Its Self-Destructive Impulses?

  Flickr User: marsdencartoonsMaybe Rush Limbaugh doesn't spend enough time in his Palm Beach home. Because clearly, there's no path back to political relevance for the Republican Party that does not include winning back Florida. And yet the two figures who have the most credibility on that front, governors Jeb Bush and Charlie Crist, are being tossed aside by the radio personality turned voice of the party as well as by others on the party's far right.During a time when Limbaugh was preaching his

• West Palm, Miami Lose "Sweatiest City" Honor to Phoenix

  flickr user: greencolanderSure is hot ...In an unabashed marketing ploy, the makers of Old Spice deodorant have ranked the Top 20 All-Time Sweatiest Cities.  Phoenix, AZ took the top spot; Miami came in at number 7; and West Palm Beach placed at number 8. Old Spice number-crunchers say that "Phoenix's average temperature was 94 degrees in June, July and August during 2001-2008, resulting in the average Phoenix resident producing 27.7 ounces of sweat per hour (more than 2 cans of soda)."&nbs

  Photo by C.StilesCityPlace South Tower was taken over in a "friendly foreclosure."​The hits keep coming for Miami real estate giant The Related Group. First, the lenders on its extravagant, 420-unit CityPlace South Tower condo in downtown West Palm Beach took control of the project in a "friendly foreclosure." This is a polite way of saying that Related couldn't pay its mortgage on the project because most of the buyers refused to close on their units. And it wasn't exactly shocking news. When

James Inhofe, particularly this part:"Like me, Marco believes that the federal government works best when it returns dollars, decisions and freedom to our local communities and families. In the Senate, Marco will stand up for America's taxpayers, not with President Obama and dangerous big government spending," he added.A none-to
