• Delray's State Senator Will Bring Iran to Its Knees

  Mahmad Ahmadinejad had a plan for world domination -- and he woulda got away with it, too, if it weren't that meddling state senator from Delray Beach, Ted Deutch.You see, while reading the Wall Street Journal, Deutch learned of efforts by a Swiss oil company, Vitol, to build a $125 million fuel depot in Port Canaveral, as a means of expanding its sales in the U.S. Well, it just so happens that Vitol sells Iran one quarter of that nation's fuel. It seems Deutch is angling for the state to insist

• Local Lebanese-American Tells Fellow Arabs to Let Money Do the Talking

  Ali Elhajj, a 35-year-old software engineer who lives in Weston, grew up Muslim in Lebanon. Eight years ago, he converted to Christianity. He found peace in his new religion, but he was also alarmed by how American Christians spoke of circumstances in Palestine. "I find that the American church does not understand what is going on in Palestine and rushes to the defense of Israel," Elhajj says. He vowed to educate other Christians about hardships in Pa

• Morning Juice: Fear Broward's New Child Teacher, Fidel Succumbs to Internets

  The president falls prey to the Vulcan mind meld. The newest teacher in Broward County schools is an 11-year-old child prodigy. Some might say that Adora Svitak is an inspiration to children everywhere because she has already taught college classes, appeared on CNN, published a book, taken over the Ukraine, and assembled the world's largest Pokémon collection. But I say: fear Adora. Fear her like you fear The Rapture. Because Adora Svitak is a sign of how things have changed under President O

  Former Philippine President Joseph Estrada would have been "pleased" by the murder of a journalist, an affidavit taken in Florida claims.This February, 47-year-old Cezar Mancao went to the Philippine consulate in Fort Lauderdale to give a sworn affidavit. When the contents of his testimony were leaked this month to a Philippine news outlet, no one here seemed to notice, and nothing about it was reported in the U.S. press. His allegations, however, sent shock waves throughout the Philippines.

• For Coral Springs Family, Stakes Are High for This Year's Election of the Century

  Robert LevinsonThat election is this June in Iran, pitting Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, president of the Religious Neanderthal Republic of Iran, against Mir-Hossein Mousavi, a "reformist" who would moderate some of the nation's hard-line policies on human rights and in international diplomacy. That is, he'd steer it a few degrees left of the Stone Age.The lives of three people with American ties are pawns in this election. Roxana Saberi is a Fargo, N.D., journalist with dual citizenship, who was snatche

Debbie Wasserman Schultz's office made no statement following a morning meeting with Netanyahu she attended with other congressional members. Ron Klein attended the same meeting but offered a bland commentary that belies his mastery of the subject. So, too, has

As such, those workers will face disciplinary action, just like Cassandra Moye.Also, your city computers have been adjusted to allow for a larger font size, so that in the future you can greet the mayor by email in the manner seen here in

  Pretending Obama is a Muslim might never get old. ​Here's a fun way to look at today's so-called 912 events. But first, some background: Eight years ago, this country was struck in the worst terrorist attack in our history. In the days and weeks following, Americans felt a sense of unity, coming together to collectively lick our wounds and fly our flag in the face of adversity. Before anyone attacked anyone else, before any new laws were passed, before we even knew exactly wha

  Wexler​In Barack Obama's presidential election, Robert Wexler was one of those linchpins. As an early supporter, he convinced a great many wary Jewish voters in South Florida that Obama would be a friend of Israel, as Obama himself promised. It was crucial to winning Florida.But since Obama won election, he's been tough with Israel, insisting that it cease new settlements along borders of the Palestinian territories. More recently, the president has softened that tone -- "restraint" for new se
