Do zombies make you hungry? If so, you’re gonna have a good time. Every Thursday in October, Seminole Hard Rock’s doing something called “Movies With a Bite,” which brings together — finally! — food trucks and horror movies in the parking lot of the Hard Rock’s Hooters (1 Seminole Way,…
If you’ve never seen an anencephalic newborn, do yourself a favor: Do not look for one on Google. You don’t want to see. Anenecephaly is a disorder whereby a developing fetus fails to grow most of its skull and all of its forebrain, meaning (A) that it looks like a…
Do you like German lesbian vampires? Of course you do, and you’ll find a few of them in We Are the Night, a year-old Dennis Ganzel flick playing Saturday at the Manor (2345 Wilton Drive, Wilton Manors). It’s one of the relatively few standard-bearers of campy awesomeness at the Fort…
Let’s just get this out there, cuz somebody’s gotta say it, and the Infiniti-driving Debbie Wasserman Schultz is apparently too thick-tongued to articulate anything other than decades-old talking points. So here it goes: Debbie Wasserman Schultz did not lie, and did not display ignorance of, the country in which her…
Ave Maria Law School, where Marco Rubio delivered a commencement address on May 15, was founded in 1999 by Catholic fanatic Tom Monaghan and a few fellow papists from Michigan. That this is an explicitly, in-your-face religious school rather loosened Marco’s tongue, so that each time he said something truly…
Will “Da Real One” Bell Jr. was a slam-poet of great power, as well as an entrepreneur. He died over the weekend after unknown assailants shot him in a drive-by outside of his small establishment on 125th street, the Literary Cafe and Poetry Lounge. Police have an extremely vague description…
The most expensive joint in the world was never even smoked, CNN.com reported on Saturday.Most likely, it was confiscated by police and left to rot in an evidence room. This was in the late 1970s, and the joint’s true worth was not then apparent. The person in whose possession it…
This has been a bullshit-busting kind of weekend for Allen West.First, he showed up on Fox News Sunday, talking smack about his own party’s recent history. He was debating Donna Edwards, a Democrat congresswoman from Maryland, when host Chris Wallace asked:Congressman West, Republicans offered a plan this week… to get…
There probably are no real ghosts in this world, but some places are haunted anyway. One of them is the Arthur G. Dozier School for Boys, which has existed for a century just outside of a greasy mosquito cloud of a town called Marianna, in a desolate part of the…
Nicole Sandler won’t admit it, but she and Allen West are simpatico.I know it sounds silly. She was once a host on the lefty radio network Air America, and she still hosts a pleasingly pink internet radio show called Radio or Not, which you may listen to here.And yes, it’s…
What a weird ride it’s been for poor Rick Scott! He came into office with hardly any pretense, with his intentions as plainly visible as the veins in his scalp. But nobody noticed, and now everybody hates him.Which is bad news to the folks manning the bridge on the GOP…
My apologies to Scotty McCreery for all my previous bitching. You’re a sweet kid. You’ve got a fine voice. You’re not really Garth Brooks’ afterbirth. You’ll have a good, long life, if you stay true to God and family and all the other weird ideas that make you feel okay…
(Note: This is the second part of a blog post, and I’m picking up en media res. If you haven’t read the first bit, you probably won’t understand what follows. Read the first part here.)Despite the ominous tone of Matt Brooks’ letter, J Street isn’t some kind of Arabic think-tank…
Oh, probably not. But such insinuations are the stuff of American politics in 2011. This particular insinuation is part of the fallout from Obama’s speech on the Middle East last week — that boring, almost content-free speech that in a saner clime would have attracted controversy only because of its…
Last night: Entertaining in the same way as an especially energetic Chris Botti concert. Probably the most boring American Idol episode of the season. Maybe ever. Maybe the most boring two hours in the history of television outside the HSN.It was Lauren Alaina and Scotty McCreery, each singing 1) their…
Allen West seems to be in a bad mood this week. In his Weekly Wrap Up, he says that Barack Obama hates Israel and the Jewish people and means to hasten their destruction. Jesus! I feel like a paranoiac for even typing that, but there it is in my inbox,…
At the moment, the only proper school voucher program in Florida is the McKay Scholarship Program, which caters to special-needs kids. (A proposal for a more general voucher program was struck down in the Legislature six years ago.) But if you’ve got a nonspecial child, no money, and a burning…
Marco Rubio loves foreign policy! I can’t think of a single frosh senator who’s so jubilantly committed to speaking out about, and screwing around with, the international community. First he came down like a gazillion-pound freedom hammer on the Ba’athist cretin Bashar al-Assad (which did little good, but oh well);…
Two weeks ago, the Pulp published a small item about Mark and David Geier — a father-son team of self-proclaimed autism experts who treat the condition with a powerful chemical castration agent called Lupron. They’re from Maryland, but their interests run deep in Florida.They’ve got a clinic here, out in…
It’s been a busy few weeks for Muslims, Muslim countries, and Islam in the news. Most of the coverage has not been favorable. Here, then, are four thoughts for readers who find themselves worrying about Muslims this Sunday. 1. Muslims serve in the military too. Last week, the world learned…
That does it. Idol’s over. First, Casey Abrams, the least predictable, most entertaining contestant of the season — and the only one with the potential to make American Idol live up to its name, for once — was sent home in April. Then the astounding Jacob Lusk, who stood a…
Allen West’s opposition to Barack Obama’s “draft executive order” continued in his Weekly Wrapup, in which he wrote this:However, an issue surfaced which could undermine the very fabric of who we are in this constitutional republic.This week a “draft” Executive Order was leaked that would force any entity competing for…
