Attorney General Bill McCollum has until October 22 to file an appeal in a case that overturned Florida’s decades-old gay adoption ban. If he doesn’t, all Floridians fit to parent will be able to adopt regardless of their sexual orientation.Unsurprisingly, some homophobes aren’t happy about it. South Florida pastor Rev…
When MTV announced Jersey Shore would film its second season in South Beach, Miami became the only place outside of Jersey to become infected by a Jersey-fied reality show. So last night’s South Park, in which the mountain town is suddenly overrun by “cabbage-muffed” Jerseyites, hit close to home. The…
Yesterday we wrote about the brave police officer Tasing an 18-year-old man, now identified as Zak Anthony King, for the horrible crime of jogging completely nude save for a pair of swimming goggles in West Melbourne, Fl. Today, obviously, there’s video…
Give the stupid quote of the week award to Coral Gables City Commissioner Ralph Cabrera. He’s launched a one-man quest to ban gasoline powered leaf blowers in Coral Gables, a city already high on stupid rules. If anyone calls out his proposed law as dumb, well boy does he have…
A new poll by Public Policy Polling has Alex Sink up by five points over Rick Scott in the Governor’s Race, with independents and self-described moderates seemingly lining up behind the Democrat. Still, with just a few weeks left in the campaign, 14 percent remain undecided. …

For the past seven years David Rivera, a Republican state legislator now running for congress in district 25, has filed sworn documents claiming that besides his salary from the state his main source of income has been from U.S. Agency for International Development. Well, The Miami Herald contacted U.S.A.I.D. and…
It’s not clear whether or not Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell is dead for good yet, but it seems the final clump of dirt has been shoveled on the grave of another bigoted, anti-homosexual government policy. The Florida Department of Children and Families has announced that they won’t appeal a decision…
Obviously one overly tan, moderate governor of a large and sunny state would have the back of another. Yes, America’s most famous action hero turned Governor, California’ Arnold Schwarzenegger has bucked his own party and endorsed independent Crist through his Twitter…
An interesting poll from Public Policy Polling, a Democratic-affiliated but usually accurate firm: If Kendrick Meek dropped out of the senate race, Charlie Crist and Marco Rubio would be in a dead heat. If Crist dropped out, Rubio would have a seven point lead over Meek. Meek says he won’t…
Today, in a court room in California, U.S. District Judge Virginia Phillips issued an injunction that would prevent the U.S. military from enforcing its 17-year-old “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy which forbids homosexuals from serving openly in the military. About time. Though, The Washington Post also reports that, “The Pentagon and…
The Miami Dolphins are the 21st most popular NFL team this year, or if you want to be more negative about it they’re the 12th least popular. That’s the lowest point the Dolphins have ever found themselves in the ratings since Harris Interactive began keeping track of such things in…

We don’t know what it is about police in Florida, but they sure love to Taser people. Especially naked people it seems. Following a bizarre incident here in Miami just six days ago, police in West Melbourne have Tasered an 18-year-old boy for jogging in the nude. …
Jack Tapper at ABC News seems amused by a picture of Obama’s brand cigarettes that a reader from Florida sent. Apparently, the presidential pleasure sticks are manufactured by a Uruguayan company, Montepaz, and sold in the States. Aside from that, there’s little information about the smokes.This, however, is not the…
When Fox News host John Gibson found out that according to some predictions, the majority of Americans might be Hispanic, he bluntly instructed his Anglo viewers to “have more babies.” When Fox News’s business side finally realized the same thing, it decided to introduce a website with all the right-wing…
Reports that Democrat Kendrick Meek would drop out of the Senate race to give independent Charlie Crist a clear shot at Republican Marco Rubio seem to be unfounded, and this morning Crist didn’t sound like a man who was making backroom deals with Democrats. That’s not to say he’s still…
We hope some gallery with primo real estate at this year’s Art Basel Miami Beach will take the cover of W’s upcoming art issue, which features a naked Kim Kardashian with her more titillating bits covered by Barbara Kruger’s iconic but increasingly tired, word-art aesthetic, and blow it up so…
If you’re the Mayor of Miami-Dade County and you’re facing a well-funded recall effort, how do you drum up some good will? With all eyes on the Miami Heat, writing an open love letter to the 305 dream team for ESPN.com isn’t a bad idea. That’s what Carlos Alvarez has…
