For once Jeb Bush is saying something liberals want to hear. He thinks that Barack Obama could easily be reelected in 2012, and says that the 2010 midterm election wasn’t so much a vote of confidence in the Republican party as it was an expression of people basically being pissed…
The Modern Primitives installation is a collaboration between famed Italian design house Fendi and architecture and design firm ArandaLasch.This year, something about Design Miami/ seemed stuck, as in not moving forward. Appropriately it’s being held in a parking lot. Besides the move to the Miami Beach Convention Center’s asphalt (in…

Douche respects douche. So it’s really no surprise that Donald Trump, of all people, really wants the University of Miami to hire Mike Leach, of all coaches. The Donald, or perhaps some sentient being living deep in the recesses of his hair, ripped out a page from The Palm Beach…
Well, with Rick Scott set to take the Governor’s chair and Republicans with super-majorities in both houses of the legislature, it was only a matter of time before the Florida GOP got cracking on delivering Arizona-style immigration laws in the sunshine state. Senate President Pro Tempore Mike Bennett, R-Bradenton, fired…
Hurricanes fans are caught up in the midst of Gruden-mania right now (AD Kirby Hocutt is reportedly set to meet with Jon Gruden today in Tampa), but the other side of the puzzle resulting from Miami’s newly vacant head coaching position is where former coach Randy Shannon will land. Well,…
The Sun-Sentinel was one of the first to report that former Buccaneers coach Jon Gruden may be the man to take the newly opened job with the University of Miami Hurricanes, which, as our Broward brothers in blogdom pointed out, seemed slightly embarrassing as Gruden quickly issued a statement that…
Dads: if you’re worth your salt as a parent you keep in touch with your daughter even if she’s long moved out and started her own life. Though, if it seems at times like your former little miss princess doesn’t want to talk to you as much as she usually…

In a city with an economy built around tourism and service, Miami International Airport is an embarrassing black eye. Let’s put it this way: If Will Smith’s “Welcome to Miami” were actually about the way most visitors are welcomed to Miami — through the airport — it would be a…
It’s not a good year for veterans of Miami local news who’ve gone national. There was of course Rick Sanchez’s total breakdown, and Katie Couric’s continued ratings troubles at the CBS Evening News. Now it seems that Miami-native and CBS 4 alum Maggie Rodriguez has been fired from her gig…
Steven Posner, 67, a member of one of Miami Beach’s most wealthy and notorious families, died yesterday in a collision of two “go fast” boats off the coast. The death comes just months after Steven’s twin sister Gail passed away after a fight with cancer. They were the eldest children…
Art Basel Miami Beach is a confusing carnival of art. Sure there’s gallery assistants there to help you, but let’s be honest, they’re probably busy talking to someone who’s looking to buy something. There’s the multi-pound mega catalog, but that’s impractical to tote around and browse through. So unless you’re…
The American Civil Liberties Union of Florida has moved forward on their lawsuit against the city of Miami Beach by officially filing the suit in federal court today. The complaint stems from a 2009 incident in which Harold Strickland, an openly gay former resident of the city, was wrongfully arrested…

While freshman Rep. Frederica Wilson has more important things on her priority list she’s still trying to get presumptive Speaker of the House John Boehner to let her wear her trademark hats while the House is in session. Well, she’s found an unlikely alley in a conservative Republican freshman congressman…
We still have mixed emotions over the firing of Randy Shannon, but it’s time to move on and start wildly speculating on who will be the next coach of the Miami Hurricanes. Athletic Director Kirby Hocutt has hired a firm to assist in the quest, and reportedly the ‘Canes will…
We miss Snooki almost every single day, and when the crew headed off in their black Escalades at the end of Jersey Shore’s Miami-set second season back to whatever hell it is they came from we thought we’d never see her again (well, save for an odd club appearance here…
Miami Heat Coach Erik Spoelstra’s days be numbered. Fans and sports commentators are already eager to see him gone and the Miami Heat players themselves may be about to join that bandwagon. ESPN reports that the players are growing increasingly frustrated with Spoelstra…
In a lot of ways Randy Shannon was a dream coach for the Miami Hurricanes: a native of the city, a graduate of the program, a great recruiter, and a dedicated leader who kept his players on the right track off the field. At the end of the day the…

Just about everyone has an opinion on the Miami Heat, including the president. In an interview with Barbara Walters scheduled to air tonight, Barack Obama tells fans to remain patient. Though that doesn’t mean Obama is necessarily a Heat fan. He’s still a little irked that neither Dwyane Wade nor…
