Allen West appeared on Fox & Friends this morning to play the GOPers favorite new game: LET’S BEAT THE WHOLE BENGHAZI THING INTO THE GROUND BECAUSE THAT’S HOW WE ROLL! West, who should know a thing or two about military scandals and things of that nature, came out and basically…
It’s official. Everyone pretty much thinks Rick Scott is crappy at his job. That, according to a new Quinnipiac poll that has a large number of people saying Governor Voldemort doesn’t deserve a second term. (And that number includes GOPers!) Rick Scott has feverishly been trying to make people forget…
As the rest of the nation is crawling out of the caves and embracing the legalizing of pot and same-sex marriage, Florida is still being all Florida about such things. According to a new poll conducted by Quinnipiac, residents of our fine state remain split down the middle on gay…
Well, by not doing much, it turns out. Guess it figures. If your life is anchored by gaming out possible doomsday scenarios, a little media hype about Mayan calendars or some such bull ain’t about to slow your step. Mayan, shmayan. Have you heard about the asteroid swinging by next…
Did you know there are already two major pipelines underground that bring in natural gas from other states to our local power plants? There will be a third by 2017, and FPL is currently seeking “Requests for Proposals” from companies that want the job of building it. FPL says the two…
Despite a couple of good swings, the Miami Herald’s Dan Le Batard pretty much failed to connect with reality in his column last Sunday, a 1,000 word humble-brag tricked out as a nostalgia job. The basic thesis here moans that the Heat’s 2012-13 season is a lot less “fun” now…
At first Rick Scott was all, NO EXTRA EARLY VOTING DAYS FOR OUR STATE, EVAR! And then everyone started to hate him and think he’s awful because they realized he’s a beady-eyed pustule with dumb GOPer agendas and an affinity to eat people’s souls (allegedly!). But now, all of a…
A horse was rescued from someone’s backyard pool. Most Florida thing you’ll read all day? Most Florida thing you’ll read all day. Palm Beach County Fire Rescue was called to a Loxahatchee home about 4:30 p.m. yesterday on reports that someone found a horse in his pool…
For once, we’ve found common ground with debt collectors: Broward County Republican Chairman Rico Petrocelli is impossible to get on the telephone and won’t return calls. At least when the calls refer to his crushing debt. Petrocelli is mad broke. He filed for bankruptcy in November of last year –…
The Miami Herald pay wall — euphemistically titled Miami Herald Plus+ — hit yesterday.It means you get 15 articles free a month on your computer and as many as 60 each month on a mobile app. For the newspaper, it is a way to fill the gap — as more…
Broward County schools’ transportation director, Chester Tindall, who had been accused of mismanaging his department and once said “I’m not going to go quietly,” is going quietly by resigning effective March 1. Tindall drew criticism from parents and bus drivers earlier this year when the Broward school bus system became…
Weird? Yes. But there’s been weirder. A few days ago, the carcass of a 40-foot sperm whale — open-mouthed and oozing — beached along Deerfield Beach’s shore, and the locals got all huffy and melodramatic over the remnants of this mammoth oceanic creature. Some local conservationists wanted to keep the…
Raees Qazi, the younger of two Oakland Park brothers charged by the FBI with conspiring to funnel “material support” to terrorists planning to explode a weapon of mass destruction somewhere in the United States, allegedly planned to either blow himself up or detonate a bomb in New York that would…
Alyssa Ainsworth, and her boyfriend, Ronald Stidd, were pulled over by police on West Second Street and Naranja Road in Valusia County on Friday for driving with an expired tag. But upon further inspection, an expired tag was the least Ainsworth had going against her. She was also driving with…
Didn’t take conservative blowfish blowhard Rush Limbaugh long to jump into the Newtown fray and open his mouth hole to say things about how the media, the Left, Democrats, and all other Pee-On-the-American-Flag-and-Use-the-Constitution-to-Wipe-Their-Dicks Freedom-Hating Groups to come out and try to take away guns because someone with easy access to…
Nadine Bruce and her husband, Kevon Stewart, hit up the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino on Sunday to celebrate her 29th birthday. But things went sour when the couple began arguing inside their car in the parking lot. And by “sour,” we mean “Kevon went full Mike Tyson on…
Ken Dandar doesn’t trust anybody. Not after all the spies searched his trash. Not after the interlopers dialed his office, pretending to be somebody else. Not after he took on Scientology in one of the biggest legal clashes in the church’s history. So when we called Dandar last week, he…
Scott Israel’s November win in the Broward County sheriff’s race will probably mean a big shakeup at the area’s largest law enforcement agency. But it’s a labor dispute time-stamped from the sheriff-elect’s failed 2008 campaign for Al Lamberti’s job that might change daily business at departments across Florida. Jeffrey Stanley…
In 2009, a South Florida woman named Christina saw that her friend in North Carolina had shared pictures pictures of a very unique-looking kitten on her Facebook page. A feral mama cat had given birth to a litter on a neighboring farm. This one particular kitten’s face was exactly half…
Turns out that male Florida panthers think female Texas pumas are kinda hot, because the once-endangered cat’s population has been buoyed thanks to mating with those Texas felines.Back in 1995, eight female pumas were brought to Florida from Texas by wildlife officials, in hopes that mating with the native cats…
Florida Rep. Dennis Baxley has a fantastic solution to preventing another tragedy like the one suffered in Newtown, Connecticut, on Friday: All teachers and principals should carry guns in their schools. Baxley, who is also the state rep who helped sponsor an equally fantastic idea that became Florida’s “Stand Your…
As if things aren’t tense and angst-ridden enough, now comes a report from Tampa of a bullet being found on a school bus. Tampa-area schools Turner Elementary, Liberty Middle, and Wharton High are under a “modified lockdown” after officials confirmed there was a bullet found on one of their buses…
