In the early 1990s, some the progressive-minded yet fun-loving folks at Adbusters magazine promoted the idea of a Buy Nothing Day — a “holiday” that would condemn consumerism, not involve any monetary transactions, and definitely include some mischievous but harmless festivities. The perfect day to celebrate was, of course, Black…

Apparently people are just now noticing that Donald Trump is a racist birther dipshit and have petitioned Macy’s to drop him, his clothing line, his fragrance, and him altogether from those annoying commercials in which famous people are getting ready for the holidays. An online petition from SignOn.org asking Macy’s…
Now is when you step up, Mr. Mayors of Miami-Dade and Broward.Now is when you two political leaders of South Florida join forces, head to New York, and demand a meeting with Commissioner Bud Selig. You tell that twerp to nix yesterday’s trade of Marlins stars Jose Reyes, Mark Buehrle,…

Well, this seems rather fitting. The owner of the Marlins, known for insulting the South Florida community by lying and then gutting the ball club, just traded for a guy who is known for insulting the gay community. It’s like assholes just gravitate to each other. Yunel Escobar, Miami’s new…
Everybody, be cool. Now that might be a little hard, considering all the baggage that comes with Broward County and elections, but let’s for a moment — just a moment — think rationally.

International Commie Hunter and wooer of women everywhere Allen West may have lost his bid for Florida’s 18th District (or so that’s what the socialists would have you believe!), but that doesn’t mean he can’t take his batshit nuttery someplace else. In fact, Sue Everhart, chairman of the Georgia Republican…
Whoops. Exactly one week since the election happened, turns out 963 ballots that no one knew existed have apparently been discovered. So just what happened?

We’ve seen it before. And yet, every time he does it, it’s like witnessing a supernova in person for the very first time. It may take some work to grapple with LeBron’s awesomeness. Breaking down his game might be counterintuitive. Only because, even though we think we’ve seen this kind…
Everyone knows Miami is the place Hollywood goes calling when it wants sexy done right. Various films, from The Godfather, Part II to Scarface to Pain & Gain, have been shot in the Magic City. But what many don’t know is that a lot of films were also shot in…
