• Note To Obama: Ritter Is All Yours

  There's a lot of talk about Broward County Commissioner Stacy Ritter going to work in Washington for the Barack Obama administration. I know this is simple politics, a payback, and I have a plea for the president-elect: Take her. Please. Let's face it, Ritter can't do nearly as much damage in Washington, where's she'll be a tiny little fish, as she can here in Broward. She has, after all, been an absolute disaster as a county commissioner. Ritter has steered county dollars to former and curr

• Party Like A Rock Star -- With A Rock Star -- in West Palm

Do it again?All right!

• Morning Juice: Avoiding IRS is Actually a Crime, Lois Frankel Tells Us to Go to Work

  Prosecutors: Swiss Banker Tried to Screw IRS. Us: Is That Wrong?Federal prosecutors in Fort Lauderdale have charged a Swiss banker with helping 20,000 Americans hide assets from the IRS. A judge signed an order yesterday declaring that former UBS AG executive Raoul Weil is a fugitive from justice. Now if you're like me, you might be asking yourself right now: Isn't hiding assets from the IRS what, in April, we call filing our taxes? That's essentially what his attorney said in this statement:"Mr

  Hi Brittany. Congratulations on being enrolled in the Dreyfoos School of Arts in West Palm, where there is no history of violence. And congratulations for earning the distinction of having your painting showcased for the city's inauguration celebration, which meant that you got to be on TV with Mayor Lois Frankel. With any luck you will soon be able to create a patriotic masterpiece in seven minutes or less, at which point you may earn an invitation to the actual inauguration in D.C., a la fello

• Madoff's House Gets TP'd, Young Criminals Learn About Dressing Up for Crime

  Teenagers toilet papered Bernie Madoff's Palm Beach house this weekend and then called the newspaper to take credit. They said the prank was sanctioned by their parents because Madoff had lost their trust funds. Madoff is confined to his Manhattan condo, so he didn't see the TP himself. Nor did he release a statement, but if he did, I'm guessing it would be something like: "Now, this toilet paper you speak of, is this the Egyptian linen my houseboy uses on my derriere?"Now I can't sanction the c

• West Palm Mayor Forgets to Ask Obama to Fix City; Mice Apparently Do Frankel's Bidding

  Frankel's got moves on the dance floor. In city hall, not so much.West Palm Beach Mayor Lois Frankel met with President Obama to talk about how she'd like to spend the stimulus money. Frankel, if you haven't been following things, is the mayor who broke a bunch of shit, like downtown and city roads and the local economy. So this meeting was the literary equivalent of Sisyphus meeting Aladdin but forgetting to ask the genie to help him with that rock problem. Instead, Frankel said:"There's a lot

  pbcgov.comJess Santamaria Here's one I haven't heard before: Palm Beach County Commissioner Jess Santamaria told the Palm Beach Post that he's so frustrated by apathy among residents that he's thinking of walking away from public service at the end of his four-year term."The only thing that would make me run again is if I really saw a swelling of community public involvement," he said. "Right now, I am not seeing it."In fairness to the apparently listless residents, Santamaria did ascend to his

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
