Don’t call it a comeback, but disgraced Republican instant-message seducer Mark Foley has a tidy $1.2 million to spend on a campaign to take back his congressional seat, as you can see from the FEC filings (oops, link doesn’t work but just use the search engine… or trust me). Compare…
As an incredibly dogged responsible still-functioning news organization, The Juice editors knew we had to dedicate a great deal of coverage to the second Miami Heat playoff game tonight in Atlanta. So they flew me up to Atlanta for the week, booked me a nice hotel room with a view of downtown, and…
Just as all good Sunni Muslims make at least one pilgrimage to Mecca, all good Fort Lauderdale Catholic boys go to Notre Dame. So maybe it was inevitable that two of the most well-regarded players on next year’s defending state champion St. Thomas Aquinas Raiders football team have named the…
This blog has neglected the 2010 mid-term elections that are only 18 (eighteen!!) months away. It is the longest game of musical chairs. Ever.In the race for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate, Kendrick Meek has surged to frontrunner status, raising $1.8 million in the first quarter — roughly five…
I know that Crossfire was killed and that this is right and good because there was too much yelling on cable anyway; but shouldn’t there be some conflict? Democrats go on MSNBC, Republicans go on Fox News, and at the end both interviewer and interviewee agree about what is Right…
Yes, it’s true: Olmeda can be a little square. But he’s also one of the nicer, funnier, and more well-intentioned fellows you’re going to meet (I play softball with him). Tragically, though, his attempt to get some wholesome discussion going among parents quickly goes awry. “shut up you stupid whore! DIE” wrote someone calling themselves Dan…
‘Tis the season of perplexing, politically loaded holidays. Today is Earth Day, which according to the video below (by the blessedly clairvoyant religious right) is destined to replace Patriot’s Day on the school calendar — which is strange because Patriot’s Day isn’t actually on the school calendar, is it? No…
And now, on the Juice subject du jour, a quick note from the female perspective…Dear Sen. Aronberg,On behalf of woman all over Florida, I must thank you for proposing legislation that would make it illegal to use a mirror to look up our skirts. This eliminates one of the all-time…
Considering South Florida’s love of all things kinky and Democrat, you’d have reason to expect a GOP-dominated legislature to be combing through our local police reports so they could A) figure out what weird sex stuff we’re up to; and B) pass laws against it.Yet this legislative session, the very…
That’s the photo that BSO is circulating ostensibly to convince people in the Weston area to be extremely careful lest they be mauled by this huge, aggressive, OK, extremely small and harmless-looking bearI can’t even type that word with a straight face. Are we sure this isn’t a big badger?…
Another day, another Philadelphia man accused of committing fraud and enjoying his allegedly ill-gotten gains in sunny South Florida. Tony Young, a financial adviser in suburban Chester County, is accused of bilking investors out of $23 million, a portion of which he’s alleged to have used to buy this $2.3…
If that looks like your shopping list then, well, thank you, good sir, for generous contributions to the State of Florida, but you probably should have waited till after the legislative session. A bill recently passed by the House Finance and Tax Council would remove sales taxes on yachts and…
Federal marshals stole city activist Fane Lozman’s home yesterday. In a true jack-booted thug moment, four armed marshals in black raided Lozman’s houseboat at the Riviera Beach Municipal Marina and towed it down to Miami, leaving Lozman homeless and without all his possessions. They also seized the former U.S. Marine pilot’s three guns, which he owns legally. Lozman’s only…
Guarding the entrance to the Lechuza Caracas estate in Wellington is a gate at least eight feet high, topped with iron spikes and emblazoned with the golden emblem of an owl. An electronic keypad out front is the only way to make the doors swing open, but for now they…
You must listen to this (courtesy of Scott Wyman). It’s simply not getting enough views (75 after two days? Who says Broward County is apathetic about local politics?). And while listening remember that both Stacy Ritter and Ken Keechl are both at least tangentially subjects of the FBI investigation of Mutual…
Miami Herald photographer Patrick Farrell won the Pulitzer Prize today for the horrific and harrowing images he captured in Haiti during the devastation wrought last year from hurricanes. I’ve never agreed more with a prize, since Farrell’s photographs crush your heart to look at them. Click here to see them. Interestingly, the…
The Miramar-based airline notorious for an ad that shows a post-coital cuddling session between a young man and a cougarish lady that advertises an innuendo-thick “three way” deal to its customers and treats its flight attendants as billboard space has — if you can believe this — stumbled into another…
Sunrise Mayor Roger Wishner, facing scrutiny for having been among those commissioners who hired his former attorney Stuart Michelson as the city attorney, provided Juice with documents suggesting that in Michelson’s first six months on the job, he has helped the city save more than a half-million dollars. The documents,…
This is a photograph (click to enlarge) that tells a heart-breakingly tragic story. It is the picture of a single, doomed transaction between two human beings who may never meet, and though it shows only the mid-point of that drama, we fellow humans can picture vividly its beginning and end;…
New memo from the Sun-Sentinel. Ladies and gentleman, newspaper’s management lexicon gets a fairly new title: “Social Media Coordinator.” It’s all about Twitter and Facebook and what not. And the SMC for the newspaper is Chris Tiedje. Here’s the memo: Several weeks ago, Seth Liss and Chris Tiedje were…
