Florida’s public-masturbation crisis has now crossed over to the other gender.

You don’t get much different than Seattle and Miami. The differences are as big as Northwest and Southeast, orcas and alligators, Starbucks and cafecitos, and, very literally, apples and oranges.

Floridians continue to hate Gov. Rick Scott. In fact, 56 presently disapprove of his job handling, while only 31 percent approve. Things as polarizing as the Miami Heat and gay marriage are actually more popular in the state right now. Public Policy Polling decided to just ask Floridians how they…

Study up on the numbers on the bottom of your plastic bottles, Miami Beach residents, because the City Commission has passed an ordinance that will make recycling mandatory in the city. Those who don’t comply could face fines of up to $2,500. Well, not really, because the city doesn’t actually…

Barring any sort of crazy scandal or shakeup, you might as well refer to Rep. Connie Mack IV as the GOP’s presumptive senate nominee in Florida. He continues to poll heads and tails above his Republican primary competitors (and is now refusing to show up to debates, as he’s already…
