Before he was a Tea Partier, Marco Rubio was just a plain old hard partier. His new memoir, An American Son, is out today, and while reviews seem to indicate it’s what you might call sort of boring and politically safe, Florida’s junior Senator does admit to drinking and partying…
In 2008 President Obama got the unprecedented support of Oprah Winfrey. This time around he can add the support of Cristina Saralegui, “the Latina Oprah,” to his campaign. It’s the first ever presidential endorsement from the Cuban-American media mogul.”This is a critical time for our country and for the Hispanic…
Remember when Donald Trump and his friends were all, “Obama can’t be president, he was secretly born in Kenya!” Then Obama released his original birth certificate from Hawaii and they were like, “Never mind!”If you thought that was the end of the argument, oh how wrong you were. The latest…
A 60-year-old woman in Port St. Lucie was arrested after sexy times with her 45-year-old boyfriend turned violent. She asked her beau to get olive oil from the kitchen to use as lube, and when he got back also asked if he brought the PAM cooking spray. The man misunderstood…
Early in his surprise Senate run against Charlie Crist, Marco Rubio was being badly out-raised and was this close to dropping out to run for attorney general. Then Crist made a strategic error: He really pissed off Rubio. After Crist’s campaign leaked rumors that Rubio was soon to drop out…
Still bogged down by ridiculous student loans? Don’t even worry about it. Obviously, if you work real, real hard in the name of this great country of America and love capitalism enough you’ll pay them off in no time.Oh, wait, what’s that? Senator Marco Rubio, who is 41 years old,…
Rep. Connie Mack IV is abandoning his southwest Florida congressional seat to run for Senate, and he’s endorsed Tea Party favorite Henry “Trey” Radel III to succeed him. Oddly, Radel has a history of owning such fine websites as CasaDeLasPutas.com, Mamadita.com, and SexGuideOnline.com…
Former Republican Party of Florida Chairman Jim Greer is preparing for his trial on several corruption charges. His former friend and ex-Governor Charlie Crist is cooperating with the prosecution. So, in what seems like a pretty shady and downright desperate move, Greer’s camp is leaking several rumors to the press…
Time and again, Florida’s Police Benevolent Association has asked Gov. Rick Scott to write for its union newsletter, the Roll Call. Over and over, Scott has ignored the PBA (which, to be fair, did campaign heavily against the governor.) So the union took the mature, adult tact and wrote a…
Among the number of new voter registration shenanigans being pursued by Gov. Rick Scott, perhaps his new law that requires third-party voter registration groups turn in forms within 48 hours seems the most arbitrary and bizarre. The Daily Show doesn’t quite understand it either, so last night they sent correspondent…
We’re not sure whether former Gov. Charlie Crist is actually a rampant drunk and closeted homosexual, but we do know that former Republican Party of Florida chairman Jim Greer is a desperate, desperate man. Greer is currently awaiting trial for allegedly misappropriate party money. Crist is not cooperating with the…
Floridians continue to hate Gov. Rick Scott. In fact, 56 presently disapprove of his job handling, while only 31 percent approve. Things as polarizing as the Miami Heat and gay marriage are actually more popular in the state right now. Public Policy Polling decided to just ask Floridians how they…
Archbishop of Miami Thomas Wenski likes to say that he’s “political with a capital P,” meaning he doesn’t tow a particular party line. And in his two years in charge of South Florida Catholics he has, in fact, criticized everyone from Barack Obama to Marco Rubio and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen. But…
Barring any sort of crazy scandal or shakeup, you might as well refer to Rep. Connie Mack IV as the GOP’s presumptive senate nominee in Florida. He continues to poll heads and tails above his Republican primary competitors (and is now refusing to show up to debates, as he’s already…
Latin crooner Marc Anthony is hitting up the Fillmore on June 26, but perhaps the more exciting news is that his opening act is President Barack Obama. The two are hitting up the historic concert hall for a fundraiser, and tickets are selling for up to $5,000…
Florida is once again shaping up to be the biggest battleground of the 2012 election, and many election prognosticators have pointed out it’s would be nearly impossible for President Barack Obama to win Florida and still lose the general election. Though a poll in May showed Mitt Romney with a…
Read Jeb Bush’s lips: “Maybe a few new taxes.”The former Republican Governor of Florida came out today in favor of slight increases in taxes to reduce the federal budget deficit. Though he had one big caveat: every $1 in new taxes should be accompanied with a $10 cut to federal…
When Gov. Rick Scott’s administration began a statewide purge of “non-citizen” voters, it didn’t seem like a coincidence that the Miami Herald found the GOP-led effort disproportionately targeted Democrats, Hispanics and independents — many of whom were in fact eligible to vote. It was also no great shock that Scott’s…
By all accounts, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi was supposed to fly this weekend to a lavish luxury resort with a couple dozen of her closest friends, family and colleagues (including Gov. Rick Scott) and tie the knot with her fiance, Dr. Greg Henderson. Then something happened. No one is…
Barring a major scandal or a major demographic change in his district, local Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart isn’t in danger of losing his seat anytime soon, and anyone trying to beat him isn’t going to get much attention. Unless of course the person running against Diaz-Balart decides to do something crazy,…
Two weeks ago, Chicago police announced that they had thwarted a devilish plot by three “Black Bloc” anarchists with ties to Occupy Miami. Cops arrested Brian Church, Jared Chase, and Brent Betterly as they were allegedly in the middle of making Molotov cocktails they planned to throw at targets around…
It’s actually kind of hilarious how far Republican candidates try to flee from any connection to Charlie Crist considering that the former Governor remains modestly popular among Floridians who are not true believers in the conservative moment. In fact, he’s a lot more popular than our current, strictly conservative Republican…
