The deadline for filing to run in the March election is January 9 — and Deerfield Mayor Al Capellini, who has filed early and often during his two-plus decades in office — has yet to open his campaign.

There are a lot of Pittsburgh Steelers fans in South Florida. But none love the boys in black and gold as much as a 31-year-old North Miami Beach man who’s a package handler at UPS. Or by now, probably, an ex-package handler. Thanks to the Steelers’ late rally over the…
We’ve all heard about the arrest of Illinois Rod “I’m Not A Crook II” Blagojevich, but did you hear the one about his wife? Patricia Blagojevich is the one who seems to have instigated the (allegedly criminal) attempt by the guv to try to bribe Sam Zell into firing the Chicago Tribune’s editorial…
They’ve been known as the Dunkin’ Bandits, and Broward Sheriff Al Lamberti tried to cast them as cold-blooded thugs, but maybe the Dunkin No-Nuts would be the most appropriate name for this band of spineless poseurs who got their rocks off shooting random, unarmed people.Turns out these are not even…

Are there no nativity scenes to vandalize in Greater Broward? Perhaps not. Well, Oakland Park is getting into the Christmas spirit by tearing down a Christ statue along Powerline Road. Don’t. Tell. Bill O’Reilly. Or he will fucking lose it! Also, don’t tell him that there’s a big gay community…
Oh Jesus Charles J. Crist! The governor’s in hot water over his European vacation trade mission this past July. Apparently, Crist and his entourage ran up a tab of just under a half-mill, part of which was spent on nine “bodyguards.” Yes, that’s what they’re calling them now. Above, Crist…

Look, I don’t know exactly what this means, but I’m blatantly parroting a Tribune-related post from LA Observed that ran on the other side of the continent.

I hit the Sun-Sentinel last week for whoring up its news with a vapid cover story on slot machines in an obvious attempt to curry favor with the big-advertising pari-mutuels. Today it’s time to turn to the Miami Herald, which has strapped on its knee pads for … CompUSA. This…
That’s quite a soup-catcher. Thank You, Howard’s MustacheThe University of Florida will play in the national championship football game next month in Miami.
