Charlie Crist as a treacherous, ruthlessly self-interested politician looking to sell his endorsement in the 2008 presidential campaign to whatever Republican promised to pay him the most political capital in return.Yup, that sounds like our Charlie.The…
Andrea Huerfano is understandably scared. In about five months, the U.S. government will separate her from her mother and brother in Coral Springs and send her to a country where she knows nobody. The 23-year-old FSU graduate is scheduled to be deported to Colombia when a six-month “stay of removal”…
Fort Lauderdale’s retired basketball great, Scottie Pippen, is all over the net these days. Last week we told you how the former Chicago Bulls stars was ambushed by extremely aggressive midgets. This week, Pippin has a supporting role in a segment from Fox’s The Cleveland Show that’s sure to be…

Steven Greenlaw and his girlfriend, Officer DeAnna Garcia-LeMieux, were suspended with pay by the Fort Lauderdale Police Department over the detail involving Scott Rothstein. It’s not clear what is alleged that they did wrong, except that possibly they…
Police say the alleged thieves watched their victims, stalking them for hours sometimes. They waited for people to leave their cars to do things like go to the gym, or pump gas, or pick a kid up from daycare. They broke into one car at a cemetery while the owners…
Iguanas falling from the sky.Pythons slithering from the swamps and into suburban yards in search of warmth. It would make a great horror movie if it weren’t true life. It’s been so frigid in South Florida this week that 250 sea turtles in cold shock have already been picked up…
What better place to promote a new Justice Department task force against financial fraud than South Florida? Specifically, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder gave his speech this afternoon at the Forum Club of the Palm Beaches, which staged a luncheon in his honor at the Kravis Center. In the speech,…

Thanks to Richard, the friend of Juice who located the video that is the basis for the Scottie Pippen statement below, about whether he’s a midge maimer. This appears to be footage of the scene in which Pippen — who didn’t know what he’d signed up for — was ambushed…

Time management is something we haven’t covered much yet here at TechSqueeze. Ditto with ticket sales sites, which are becoming the new wave of “app to have,” it seems. After finding a local company that created an app, it seemed like the perfect time to present it to the South…
Here’s what’s new in Broward and Palm Beach:The Dolphins unveiled a $250 million renovation of Land Shark Stadium that includes a “translucent” roof to protect fans from the possibility of rain.
