• Wasserman Schultz Beats Breast Cancer

  C. StilesWasserman SchultzAround this time one year ago, I was researching an in-depth article on Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the fast-rising Democratic congresswoman who represents the West Broward suburbs and still manages to be a minivan-driving soccer mom for her Weston family. I had no idea until this weekend that at the same time, she'd just learned she had breast cancer.Back then, it seemed that Wasserman Schultz's gravest adversity was her fierce commitment to Hillary Clinton's fading pres

• Wasserman Schultz on Hardball

  West Broward Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz appeared this evening on Hardball, the Chris Matthews show on MSNBC. She was a Matthews favorite even before she revealed this weekend that she'd been diagnosed with breast cancer more than a year ago and underwent a double mastectomy as well as an operation to remove her ovaries, which were also at risk for cancer. "I knew she was gutsy," Matthews intoned. "I just didn't know how gutsy."First, video of Matthews bestowing upon Wasserman Schultz

• Wasserman Schultz Tames Fox News

  In her capacity as a leading Democratic surrogate, West Broward Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz has had some tense moments while appearing on the allegedly "Fair and Balanced" news network. But two weeks after revealing that in the past year she had seven surgeries to defeat breast cancer, Fox News yesterday made Wasserman Schultz its Power Player of the Week. In the video, she tells of gutting out a campaign fund-raising appearance while hiding a "pain pack" in her purse.Yes, she managed

• Wasserman Schultz Pummeled in Press

  C. StilesDebbie Wasserman SchultzThis time of year, the nation's college football teams stage spring practices, and in a measure to spare quarterbacks from risk of injury, teams dress that player in a red or yellow jersey -- a visual reminder to linebackers that this one player is untouchable. When Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz announced last month that she had had a double mastectomy in the course of a year-long tangle with breast cancer, the media handed her a protective jersey.And no

• Safe!! Or... Unsafe? Wasserman Schultz Breaks Leg Sliding Into Second Base

  Photo by C. StilesWasserman SchultzWest Broward Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz won her personal battle against breast cancer, and in the war against the disease, she just won a purple heart. Last night in Washington, D.C., during a softball game whose proceeds went to breast cancer, Wasserman Schultz fractured her leg and sprained her ankle while sliding into second base.A former varsity softball player, the game was Wasserman Schultz's idea. Said her press secretary, Jonathan Beeton: "S

• World's Largest Cupcake to Trounce Mizner Park at Think Pink Rocks

  Who you calling a cupcake, cupcake?​Tomorrow night's Think Pink Rocks concert at the Count de Hoernle Amphitheater in Mizner Park should be full of cupcakes screaming groupie-style at hip-hop artists AKON and Shontelle. But one cupcake in particular will tower over all the rest: the 1500-pound pink-iced creation that will vie for the title of "World's Largest Cupcake." The outsized confection is a tag-team endeavor by Boca Raton's Passion For Pastry and Big Top Cupcake, an as-seen-on-TV cupcak

  Flickr: MagellansGirl​You thought you were so "aware" with your pink ribbon for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Where's your purple ribbon for Domestic Violence Awareness Month? Did it fall off while you were beating your spouse, hypocrite? October is Spina Bifida Awareness Month. And since you're not aware of what spina bifida is, you failed that one too.By the way, why are you wasting time reading this blog when it's National Book Month?

• Broward Republicans: Still Crazier Than Broward Democrats

  Would you elect this man?​With an ethics scandal rocking the Democratic powers of Broward County -- and just a few days after a Democratic mayoral candidate for one Broward city was arrested for pulling a gun on his daughter, the Democratic mayor of Broward County -- the Republican Party may have been looking pretty inviting to your average local political observer. Or at least until those Republicans took that precious piece of political capital to the gun range, where they riddled it with bu
