Celebs like to get away to Miami because the swarm of paparazzi is a little less thick here than it is in LA. That general rule has its exceptions, and Sarah Palin is one of them. Palin arrived in town today, and is expected to address the Republican Governer’s confab…
TBO.com has the details for the Wedding. Of. The. Century. In just 29 days Gov. Charlie Crist will walk down the isle to marry a real life woman, Carole Rome. And just as we thought Crist was too busy picking out floral arrangements to help out Ol’ John McCain’s campaign…
Manny-appointment Mania just keeps going. On Monday, we discussed Mayor Diaz’s chances at HUD. Yesterday, we weren’t too keen on the idea of Manny as Homeland Security Chief. Today, The Herald steps in and throws out the idea he might be a perfect fit to head a new department Obama…
I have a confession to make. I took this job only because I needed the money. The policies enacted by the Pelosi Congress and secret President Hillary Clinton (You thought it was Bill? Ha!) led to this horrible financial crisis (You know … women and money). I played the part…
The protests in California over the passage of Prop. 8 have gotten heated, and an ugly problem is the bit of racism that’s emerged after exit polls showed 70% of African-Americans voted in favor of its passage. This Saturday will see a nationwide protest against the passage of Prop. 8…
What is up with you, Washington Post blogs? You keep coming up in my internet reading, so you must be doing something right, but you always manage to rub me the wrong way. First, you had incorrect information about the Spanish version of the Obama infomercial and called Manny Diaz…
Yesterday we dreamed up all the future career steps Miami Mayor Manny Diaz could take next. The most interesting was as Obama’s Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Today, The Washington Post’s blog is the latest to put Diaz’s name out as a possible contender for that job, but also…
via Faith Mouse As of this morning it wasn’t 100% certain that everyone’s favorite failed VP candidate would be gracing the Republican Governor’s Association Conference with her presence. Now it’s official, Palin will make her first trip back to just about the lowest part of the Lower 48 since 46.1%…
Got her toes done up, wit her finger nails matching This week’s Republican Governor’s Conference in Miami will be one of the first major meetings among party powers to decide the future of that sad ol’ party. Though, this is Miami and the GOP knows it’s the best place to…
Now that the election is over the local political blogs have to find something else to comment on, and they decided to start with Michelle Obama’s dress designed by Narciso Rodriguez, a Cuban-American designer. Genius of Despair over at Eye on Miami called it a fashion faux pas, and wrote…
“Madam, my whig has an H in it.” “Well, my wig has a cruise ship in it, so you best step up your game.” During the grueling Democratic primary, the Republican party was more than happy to sit back and watch the Dems tear their own party apart from the…
There’s this weird bit of logic going around conservative circles that the reason for George W. Bush’s failing, Obama’s triumph, and the recent drubbing of Republicans that the GOP has moved too far from its conservative base. It wasn’t — get this — conservative enough. The theory is faithfully echoed…
Is it too early to be thinking about this? Jeez, we just endured almost a solid year of heavy election coverage, shouldn’t we get a break? Nope, let the speculation for 2010 begin. Charlie Crist is in a comfortable spot for re-election. Though, Florida’s economy has further tanked during his…

Suggestive emails of the supportive type, that is. According to Variety’s Wilshire and Washington blog (via Wonkette) a couple of Hollywood types ran into Foley, the infamous former WPB Conressman, dining at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Foley was all like ‘I didn’t know the kid was 18, I was drunk,…
Yesterday, Miami’s civic leaders were the portrait of financial restraint, soberly deferring a multibillion-dollar plan to redevelop acres of downtown real estate in the midst of a national economy melting down like Lou Pinella after the inevitable Cubs collapse in the playoffs. This morning, they remembered that they govern Miami…
“He’s a politician?” cracks the construction worker assigned to guarding the flooded road. “Throw him in the creek!” But then he allows the 80-year-old man in the driver’s seat of a turquoise Acura coupe to tool past a barricade and down an unlit road, where dark water laps right up…
Democrats hate him. Journalists scorn him. Most Americans ignore him. Which is fine with Matt Drudge. He’s taking it to the bank.
God has fled, avenging angels hide out in the Everglades, and other tales from children in Miami homeless shelters.
