Unfortunately you’ll have to travel up to Toronto, Canada to catch the latest work by Miami’s favorite artistic rainbow warrior and New Times MasterMind winner Jen Stark.

Regular people will probably not see Osama bin Laden’s final glamor shots, the one featuring a bullet hole somewhere in his face. At least not any time soon, but a select group of congressmen will get a chance to view those photos. Because Bill Nelson and Marco Rubio serve on…
After his failed Senatorial bid, we’ve been wondering what former Congressman Kendrick Meek’s next step would be? Would he follow his mother into the lucrative world of lobbying?

There’s no clear front runner yet in the race for the Republican nomination to take on Senator Bill Nelson in 2012, but the candidates are already taking aim at Nelson. Though, the guy is a pretty moderate Democrat who hasn’t stirred up all that much controversy, recent web ads from…
Twenty-two men have been arrested for agreeing to have sex with young children, some as young as nine, that they had met online. When they arrived, though, they were met by the Polk County Sheriff’s Office. The men arrested include a UCF Student, a former television executive, a specialist in…
Want to play basketball against Dwyane Wade? Well, an average guy has a pretty good shot at getting on the roster of the Minnesota Timberwolves at this point, but if you don’t want to commit to a full NBA season, you can shell out $12,500 to sign up for Dwyane…
Even the most passionate Miami Dolphins fans might not remember Alvin Powell. The offensive lineman played only two games for the Fins in 1989 before suddenly resigning. His play on the field wasn’t much helped by the fact that he was addicted to crack cocaine. Now the former NFL player…
The Boston Celtics are just a single game away from playoff elimination at the hands of the Miami Heat, and LeBron James would just like to say “thank you.” Not for proving to be a pretty beatable team, but for providing the inspiration that three superstar players all suiting up…

Like someone in mourning, we’ve tried to forget. We’d just rather not think about how Gov. Rick Scott passed on the high-speed rail package that would have brought billions of dollars, thousands of jobs and a once-in-a-generation transportation upgrade to Florida all on the federal government’s dime. Yet, occasionally the…
Men in Miami like it scruff. According to a new survey, only a meager 16 percent of dudes in the area bother to shave regularly. Which seems somewhat counterintuitive given the heat and what not, but then you remember that everyone here acts like they’re on vacation all the time…
