No comedian is as popular or as despised as Dane Cook. For the past year, he’s avoided making movies or doing TV appearances, choosing instead to tour the country, playing to sold out stadiums everywhere he goes. He finishes this “ISolated INcident” tour at the BankAtlantic Center the night before…
Nobody’s mastered the art of the beer-swilling, pot-smoking, girl-chasing comedy like Broken Lizard, the improv troupe behind the movies Super Troopers, Beerfest, and the grossly underappreciated ’80s-style slasher comedy Club Dread. More than anyone else, these five men — millions of Super Trooper fans know them as Farva, Mac, Rabbit,…

One of the latest came at the end of December, on I-75 in western Broward county. It was a 110-pound male, crossing the highway around 1 a.m. Last year, 17 Florida panthers were killed by vehicles, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. That’s nearly 20 percent of…
We just got word that all of the Haitian orphanages run by the South Florida-based non-profit Planting Peace are upright and the children are, as Planting Peace founder Aaron Jackson put it, “OK.” In addition, the two University of Florida students who were in Haiti shooting a documentary about Jackson…
Initial reports about the earthquake in Haiti are terrifying. Good-hearted individuals around the globe will be looking for a way to help. We already know one local charity, Planting Peace, which works primarily with orphanages in Haiti, will be working to get people shelter, food, and water. The best way…
Last year, we brought you the case of Ronald Murphy, a convicted sex offender who, for nearly two months, was legally confined to a bench outside of his parole officer’s building in Delray Beach. In 1998, Murphy was convicted of raping a woman on, of all places, a park bench…
If it’s not completely clear, the clip above shows a 76-pound male greyhound named BB’s Story Book (referred to by the announcer as “the five”) falling in the first turn of a race at Mardi Gras Racetrack and Gaming Center in Hallandale Beach, getting up, running the wrong way on…
Andrea Huerfano is understandably scared. In about five months, the U.S. government will separate her from her mother and brother in Coral Springs and send her to a country where she knows nobody. The 23-year-old FSU graduate is scheduled to be deported to Colombia when a six-month “stay of removal”…
Police say the alleged thieves watched their victims, stalking them for hours sometimes. They waited for people to leave their cars to do things like go to the gym, or pump gas, or pick a kid up from daycare. They broke into one car at a cemetery while the owners…
There are dozens of reasons South Floridians should be cheering for the University of Texas in tonight’s BCS National Championship game. Now, I’ll admit I’m not completely objective on the subject, but I want to convince you, South Florida, that you should be rooting for Texas tonight and not the…
Outside American Airlines Arena in Miami this Friday will be a pack of angry clowns. No, it’s not a Nickelback concert; it’s the circus. And the clowns outside won’t be working for Ringling Bros. They’re animals rights activists protesting Ringling’s treatment of elephants.Leading up to the protest, members of the…
Since Bucknell beat Miami in 1935, the annual Orange Bowl has provided some of the best moments of every college football season. Starting in the ’90s, the game also provided a few national championships. Though the game hasn’t been held in the physical Orange Bowl in Miami since 1999 (it’s…
Sunday morning was full of hope for plenty of South Florida football fans. For Dolphins fans, already jaded by an up-and-down season, that hope was dashed early in the day. For another brand of football fan, however, the day was a nail-biting, runaway mine train of emotions. Aside from the…
It’s been quite an exciting year for South Florida sports fans. There hasn’t been a large number of successes (no teams got out of the first round of the playoffs), but we have had veterans looking young again, one unbelievably talented basketball player, a few sex scandals, at least one…
Without a doubt, this has been the worst decade on record for one of the winning-est franchises in league history. It started with Jimmy Johnson retiring and Dan Marino following suit not long after. Then it went down hill from there. The Dolphins have had (count ’em) one, two, three,…
Bad people come in all shapes, sizes, and sexes. They can be seemingly pious grandmothers. They can be smug, vindictive lawyers. They can be irresponsible rich jerks, gold-digging hookers, or corrupt cops on the beat. In any given strata of society, a few people are always willing — in some…
Most public servants are good people, even in South Florida. Most commissioners and school board members take sacred the public trust. At least during the holiday season, we try to tell ourselves that. But clearly, especially around these parts, not all our politicians are nice. And when they’re naughty, they’re…
As a hub for so many cruise ships, Port Everglades sees a lot of entertaining “theme” cruises. Remember the Climax Cruise or the Weekly Standard Cruise? Well now a Boca Raton man has assembled the first Beatles Tribute Cruise, and it’s scheduled to depart Fort Lauderdale on Sunday, March 28,…
Every year, an estimated 65,000 young people graduate high school in America as undocumented immigrants — “illegals,” as the people who want them out of the country are fond of calling them — and face the possibility of deportation. But that could all change soon if the DREAM Act, a…
Last week, we brought the saga of Andrea Huerfano, a 23-year-old FSU grad from Coral Springs who ran a red light and is now facing deportation.
