• Since You Can't Wrap Yourself in This Blog...

  I didn't think anyone could do more to help the homeless people of Broward than New Times -- our boxes are frequently used to store blankets and the pages of the "print product" can both warm someone and serve as a feces receptacle, among other applications. But as it turns out, there a few people just a bit saintly-er than we Juicians. With temperatures expected to drop into the low 40s tonight, Sean Cononie and his crew at the The Homeless Voice shelter in Hollywood will be out doing a little

• Does Coral Springs Hate Homeless People?

  Judging by the front page story in this week's edition of "The Our Town News", yes. On the direct-mail community newspaper's web site, the article about the city's commissioners and residents disdain for the homeless men and women selling The Homeless Voice is featured next to a story about a local boy scout troop. In the story, Coral Springs Vice Mayor Vince Boccard says the people selling The Homeless Voice look like "a bunch of homeless beggars" and called the paper - which is run out o

• UPDATE: 'The Our Town News' Source is a Paper Employee

  The "resident" quoted as "Merle Lynn" in this week's "The Our Town News" story about how residents and commissioners want homeless people out of Coral Springs is an employee of that community newspaper. Her name is Merle Rosenberg and she works in classified advertising. Her quote about the homeless people who sell The Homeless Voice: "Before they became a corporation, I used to feel sorry for the people that were hanging out on the corners asking for money, and I felt more inclined to give the

• Picking Up the Pieces

    I haven't been a very good Pulp caretaker lately due to a long piece that is kicking my ass hard. This thing had me feeling like Tom Hulce at the end of Amadeus, only I was surrounded by a thousand times more papers and F. Murray Abraham wasn't there to help. Oh, and it wasn't a masterpiece, just a really complicated business story. Still not done with it but ready to start shaping it into something coherent. My editor and I are both hopeful it will be worthwhile by th

• New York City Gives Homeless One-Way Tickets to Florida

  Flickr user: April A. TaylorThanks for the helping hand, Bloomberg.​Mayor Michael Bloomberg's administration has devised an ingenious way to cut down on the number of homeless families in New York City shelters: Handing out one-way tickets to leave town. And what's one of the most popular destinations for the fleeing masses? Florida, of course.According to the New York Times, 100 homeless families have been shipped to the Sunshine State from New York since 2007. That's dozens more than any oth

• Bum Fights: Do Liberal New Yorkers Know What Happens to Homeless in Florida?

  Flickr: 71sbeetle​It's advertised as a way to deal with a city's homeless problem in the most humane way possible -- give 'em one-way tickets out of town. But that's only if the progressives in cities like New York aren't reading headlines like we've got down here, about Florida leading the nation in beating the homeless.Nor is their sleep disturbed by the news that the Florida Legislature slashed funding for the homeless this most recent session, meaning there's fewer resources to spread amon
