Florida’s democratic senior Senator Bill Nelson is about as even keeled and congenial guy as you’re likely to find in DC.

Billionaire Norman Braman’s recall effort collected about 112,000 signature and seemed to be heading to a ballot, but Alvarez’s lawyers are fighting the effort on a procedural technicality. The two sides met in court this morning,…

Halloween night in Coconut Grove is a well-known annual mad house, and police are out in full force. Though, this year it seems that City of Miami police officers may have gotten out of hand with their use of force on partying patrons. A YouTube video has been making the…
Our fellow Floridians in the Orlando area resoundingly kicked Rep. Alan Grayson out of office this election in a 19 point defeat. Apparently they do not care that the rest of America enjoys being entertained by his off-the-wall speeches on the House floor. He’s already told Dick Cheney to literally…
Sorry haters, the Miami Heat very much is the three-headed monster you all feared. Following a viral video poking fun at his lake of success so far in Miami and some commentators wondering how long it will be until he’s traded, Chris Bosh had an absolute monster of a game…
The Christian Family Coalition, a Miami-based group that hems way to the right on social issues, is calling Gov-elect Rick Scott to stop selling pornography to Latinos.

We know everyone hates Chris Bosh. People hate him so much that he’s already inspired a brand new exciting turn of phrase in the English language: “Like a Bosh.” The Basketball Jones defines the idiom as, “When someone or something desires the limelight only to wilt under the new-found pressure.”…
The Miami Heat continue to take pages right out of the Hugo Chavez playbook when it comes to working with members of the press. If you write anything the organization doesn’t particularly like you’re pretty much banned. New Times itself has suffered such a fate, and now we welcome Esquire…

Even following his arrest…

Do people not understand how the NBA works? What is with all these supposed fans throwing up their hands in disgust and haters flying onto proverbial supercarriers and hoisting a “Mission Accomplished” banner? Yeah, the Heat are sitting at 6-4. It’s not a great record by any means, but it’s…

Miami has become the land of great quarterback uncertainty, but unlike a certain professional team we’ll have some deserved faith in who will be starting for our college team in their next game.
