LeBron James probably thought he had gotten the worst of it from still-seething Cleveland fans when he returned to town for the Heat’s 118-90 demolition of the Cavaliers. He thought wrong. As fate or, well, the NFL schedule would have it, Sunday’s game at Sun Life Stadium between the Browns…
It’s that time of year again. Yep, that time when conservatives and cranky Christian organizations start moaning about “the war on Christmas,” claiming that businesses and organizations’ decision to either ban holiday decorations all together or favor generic winter decorations somehow suppresses Christianity.

How much does the media outside Miami absolutely hate the Miami Heat? So much that they’re raining on the parade of an 8-year-old boy who got to meet the players as part of a special birthday present. In fact, they’re completely ignoring facts to paint this kid as a front-running…

Hey, looks like Rod Smith will finally win an election. The failed candidate for Governor in 2006 and Lt. Governor in 2010 is all be guaranteed to be the next chair of the Florida Democratic Party.
