That Bill McCollum is a real piece of work. He finds himself, yet again, on the losing end of a statewide Republican primary, and now he has spoken with the Florida Baptist News and veered harder to the right on pretty much every social issue available. Not only does he not believe…
Maybe LeBron’s girlfriend, Savannah Brison, was right. Maybe Miami really is just a terrible place to live. AOL’s WalletPop seems to agree, ranking the Magic City the ninth worst city to live in the entire United States. Apparently, all of our crime, traffic, and foreclosures don’t make this a wonderful place…

Matthew Bellamy, the man who bravely wore a LeBron James Miami Heat Jersey to a Cleveland Indians game only to get escorted out and allegedly berated by police, is now a first amendment martyr. And Cleveland fans absolutely hate the very Constitution of this fine country, at least according to…
NMA News, a Taiwanese news organization, has begun explaining America to its viewers through the use of wacky CGI animation. We’re not sure how the animations help Taiwanese viewers understand the ridiculousness of American pop culture, but they sure do make for great viral videos. The latest edition takes aim…
Charlie Crist has a new backer, Mark Penn, and he used to be one of the closest and most powerful advisers to Bill and Hillary Clinton. In fact, as the chief pollster and senior adviser for Hillary’s 2008 presidential run, he is blamed for some of the worst tendancies of that campaign. Is…
At least one person in LeBron James’s inner circle wasn’t thrilled with his decision to “take his talents to South Beach”: Savannah Brinson, his longtime lady love and mother of his two sons. She’s not worried about James ruining his legacy, the Heat unfairly reshaping the NBA, or hometown loyalty (if she…
In today’s roundup of bullets and other bad things: A taxi cab is shot up in a drive-by, leaving one man dead; another teen is a victim of gun violence in Liberty City; the Miami Hurricanes football team struggles with Twitter; and early voting begins…
Earlier today, Dan LeBatard sent fears down the spine of Hurricane fans by announcing on his radio show that the Miami Herald would be breaking a negative story about the sports program this afternoon. Well it’s here, and it a minor little thing that involves, uh, text messages…
In the past few weeks we’ve been hearing two rumors: 1) Isiah Thomas was definitely going to return to the Knicks 2) Isiah Thomas was definitely going to stay as the head coach of FIU basketball. Turns out that both were right…
A McDonald’s in Hialeah was robbed not once, but twice by a man dressed like a ninja, in head-to-toe black. Turned out the robberies were perpetrated by Michel Quiroz, an 18-year-old employee at the restaurant. He even continued to show up for work after the robberies, but eventually his co-workers…

When we see images of the oil spill ravaging the Gulf of Mexico we think about the economic devastation that could face our state and our neighbors, the havoc its wrecking for wildlife and the environment, and an industry we’re addicted to that’s run amok in corruption. When the editors…
In exactly what world are we living when the breakup of a hip-hop group leads to drama in a presidential election? Wyclef Jean is running for president of Haiti (which seems like a tough job considering he can barely run his charity, career, or personal finances), and now his former…
Last night on Jersey Shore, the cast continued to wreck havoc on the previously sleepy little island known as Miami Beach. Ronnie the shaved gorilla struggled with newly developing human emotions and even harder-to-grasp basic human logic. Meanwhile, Angelina the rat scurried about the house, tried desperately to avoid being…
With the primary election just weeks away, even previously boring races are beginning to heat up. The battle for the Democratic nomination for attorney general is getting slightly crazy, with Dan Gelber and Dave Aronberg, both Florida senators, making lawyer disses. Gelber dismissed Aronberg as a “junior lawyer,” and now…
In today’s news roundup: A dead body is found in a truck, a teacher drives while under the influence of booze and Xanax, and those huge LCD billboards in downtown Miami have a long way to go before they’re erected…
Bill Clinton has been one of the biggest and earliest supporters of Kendrick Meek’s Senate candidacy. He’s been headlining fundraisers for Meek since early 2009 and is steadfast in his support. In fact, he’ll be in South Florida in a week and a half to campaign on behalf of Meek…

Showtime has classed up its act lately with really great shows, not the least of which is Miami-set Dexter. Well, tonight the channel gets a little trashy with a new show called Beach Heat: Miami (apparently the simpler named Miami Heat was already taken). Unlike Dexter, it was actually shot…
Well, ladies and gentlemen, you missed your chance to see with your own two eyes Enrique Iglesias letting it all hang out on water skis. The star, whom we just interviewed in our latest print issue, promised the BBC in June that if Spain won the World Cup, he’d go naked skiing in Biscayne…
