Representatives Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Mario Diaz-Balart, and former Rep. Lincoln Diaz-Balart have all lined up in support of Mitt Romney, which left little room for Romney’s primary opponents to line up a big endorsement that would resonate in Miami’s Cuban-American community. Well, Newt Gingrich now has the support of that black…
“People do not go to South Beach to see Mickey Mouse. They just don’t,” said state Sen. Ellyn Bogdanoff (R-Ft. Lauderdale) yesterday during a debate on her bill that would bring casinos to South Florida. “They go there for different reasons. We have the strip club capital of the world…
Jeffrey Darnell Paul had a dream. A very, very poorly thought out dream. He dreamed that it would be totally OK to put Martin Luther King Jr.’s image on a flyer promoting a party at a Miami strip club. Turns out he was a bit surprised when most people with…
Sure, it’s hard to muster much sympathy for O.J. Simpson, but remember, he hasn’t been making much use of his house in Kendall lately. He’s got a steady residence for the next six to 27 years: a jail cell in Nevada. So don’t feel too bad that his Miami home…
Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez says his country will close its consulate in Miami. The news comes after a Venezuelan diplomat headquartered in Miami was expelled by the state department earlier this week for her alleged role in a cyber-terrorism plot against the United States…
After a diva-like and dramatic decision period that a so-so coach really didn’t deserve, Jeff Fisher has decided he’ll be the coach of the Los Angeles St. Louis Rams instead of the Miami Dolphinsnext season . This, of course, means the Dolphins’ search for a new coach is basically back to…

The Miami Herald have sold their bayside building to the Genting Group, the casino-happy Malaysian conglomerate, and today publisher David Landsberg sent out a memo to the staff confirming that they’ll vacate their current digs by May 2013.Random Pixels has obtained that memo, and in it Landsberg lays out a…
For now, Florida’s invasive python population has largely been relegated to the fresh water of the Everglades and surrounding areas, but a new study shows the alien snakes can survive for up to a month in saltwater. That means there’s potential the snakes could expand their range and start popping…
How much money would you pay for a four-ounce bottle of water alleged to have come from a pool in which Tom Cruise swam? If your answer is anything less than $130, you’re out of luck. That’s the current highest bid on an eBay auction for water taken from the…
Sometime between his arrest on narcotic charges and sitting for this mugshot, Rodgerick Everett Jr. sustained several scraped to his face, a swollen lip, and a neck injury that required a cervical collar. Miami-Dade Police says that Everett, the son of a long-time South Florida officer, inflicted the injuries on…
Ladies, are you sick of meeting South Beach douchebags who are about as emotionally numb as their nostrils after snorting a line? Tired of those Hialeah pigs who don’t even consider your feelings when they’re hollering at you from their ’97 Nissans? Fed up with those Brickell pricks who think…
It’s well known that if it bleeds it leads on South Florida FOX affiliate WSVN, but local DirecTV costumers could be missing all that blood and a lot more if the station doesn’t come to an agreement with the satellite provider. Channel 7’s parent company and DirecTV have until midnight…

Back in 2010, we dubbed The Webster the “best place to shop like there’s no recession,” but now the pricey Miami Beach boutique has partnered with a far more recession-friendly shopping destination: Target. Soon the place that sells, uh, whatever the hell this is for $9,000 will be opening limited-run…
George W. Bush has remained relatively quiet throughout the Republican primary race. That’s not unusual for former presidents, and, perhaps, most candidates may not have been rushing for his support anyway. But it seems that none of the current candidates were Bush’s favorites. He much would have preferred that his…
If you ask some of your more ill-informed Republican friends they’ll probably tell you that Barack Obama and Fidel Castro are like totally BFF4eva, but Cuba’s ailing retired dictator isn’t a big fan of Obama. Nor does he like the Republican candidates much either, or so he seems to think…
For the second time in the row, Florida politicians decided to ignore the rules of the Republican National Committee and moved ahead with their plan for an early primary. Like 2008, this means that Florida Republicans will lose half of their delegates at the national convention, but this time around…
Silently judging other people is one of my top ten favorite activities of all time, but I was still a bit nervous when I found out I’d been called for the very first time to the Richard E. Gerstein Justice Building to serve my civic duty of jury service.Well, yesterday…
