Miami is a town of deep emotions, but perhaps none run stronger than anger. Oh, we can find almost anything to be angry about here. But here are ten things everyone in town is almost assuredly perpetually bothered by. Traffic and Other Drivers Does this one need explanation? No. No it...
The Miami Marlins, a professional baseballing team and a suspected longform improv troupe specializing in dark comedy, have tried everything in recent years to turn their fortunes around: a new stadium, three different managers, and occasional star signings followed by roster shaking trades. Nothing has worked. Well, maybe just maybe newly...
America's saddest presidential campaign has finally been euthanized by the good voters of South Carolina. No more can voters chuckle woefully at pleas to "Please clap" or at ham handed attempts to explain why Dubya wasn't wrong to invade Iraq. Jeb! and his random exclamation point have walked slowly into...
The fiercest critic of the Colombian peace accords took his message to Miami on Friday, telling journalists the treaty as it’s currently being negotiated will result in criminals and terrorists going free. “Peace with impunity isn’t a sustainable peace,” said Senator Alvaro Uribe, the former president of Colombia, at an...
For months leading up to the District Two commission race, Ken Russell's fundraising lagged far behind his chief rival, Teresa Sarnoff. By election day, he'd hauled in just $158,560 compared to Sarnoff's $747,000 war chest. But hours after the shock results of the Nov. 3 ballot — in which Russell...

There is nothing worse about partying in Miami than running into the tourist who is just a little too excited to be partying in Miami and has lost all possible chill because of it. You know exactly what we're talking about, but in case you don't, well, Cuba Gooding Jr...
It was 1 a.m. Saturday, January 16, when a pair of uniformed men shook Jaiema Pierre awake. The petite 18-year-old nursing major had fallen asleep in a friend's dorm room at the Indian River Towers on Florida Atlantic University's Boca Raton campus. "What year is it?" one of them asked...
For years, the knock against Debbie Wasserman Shultz was that she was just too damn liberal for her own good. Everytime Florida political columnist mentioned the possibility of the Congresswoman running for state-wide office it came with the caveat that she was perhaps too far to the left to win...
Listening to a Tall Juan track for the first time, you might mistake the energetic hooks and propulsive guitar for an acoustic Ramones B-side. Indeed, the Buenos Aires-born songwriter (born Juan Zaballa) takes cues from the monolithic presence that Joey Ramone and company had in the heyday of punk. "I...
Because Miami is a black hole of traffic nightmares (especially this weekend) and I’m so very Miami myself that tardiness is a way of life, I arrive late to my scheduled interview with Miike Snow at this year’s Ultra Music Festival. Luckily, the Swedish-American indie pop trio do some scheduling...

This is the most diverse group of legitimate presidential contenders America has ever seen. One the Democratic side you've got both the first woman and first Jew to ever win a primary. On the Republican side, those left standing include two Cuban-Americans and an African-American. Regardless of the rest of...
For three weeks, a self professed “animal rights warrior” named Danielle Daals has been living in a bathtub in front of the Miami Seaquarium to protest the marine park’s captivity of cetaceans, including Lolita the orca.

If your dog bites someone, even if it hasn't been previously declared a dangerous dog, and investigators declare the resulting wound "severe," your dog will be put to death. That's the law in Florida, but a case involving a black lab in Bradenton, Florida named Padi has caused so much outrage...
As John Wilson cooked dinner for his family in March 2010, an eerie silence filled their cozy Plantation home. Usually around 6 p.m. on a school day, the place was bustling. Four kids were asking about dinner or playing videogames. John, a mild-mannered musician with salt-and-pepper hair and rimless glasses,...
The embargo the United States placed on Cuba for more than half a century comes with a cultural caveat. For years, the Communist island banned all propaganda that emanated from the West. On the other coast, the U.S. shunned artists who supported the regime and propped up the work of...
For the past 17 years, the Chavista wave started by Hugo Chavez and carried on by his successor Nicolas Maduro has held an iron grip on Venezuelan politics, from the national assembly to the presidential palace. While Maduro still holds onto his executive power, Chavismo has taken a historic blow at...

Has $14.9 million ever bought less? As Jeb Bush's dispiriting campaign for president limped to an all too predictable wet thud of a finish in Iowa last night, his supporters played down the ramifications. New Hampshire matters much more, they say. Iowa's strictly conservative base was never a great fit...
The Albert Einstein quote "Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere" aptly sums up the point NatGeo's hit show Brain Games tries to make. Our brains interpret information and influence every millisecond of our lives, yet the average person knows little about the most important part of the...
In the wake mass protests in Cleveland, Ferguson and Baltimore, cops nationwide have scrambled for ways to better police themselves. Body cameras have quickly emerged as a consensus choice to add clarity to the often muddy waters that follow a fatal police shooting. Miami's no different — the past year,...
The results of local elections have a huge impact on our lives. But across Miami, local election turnout has historically been meager. In the last Miami Beach mayoral race, in 2013, just 25 percent of eligible voters cast a ballot. In Miami, that number fell to 11 percent. And across...
